Memo to the Planning Commission/P00-6 April 21,2000 Page 3 lot (4.28 acres) will be adjacent to Jarvis Street and has been created for the existing • home. There is 413 feet from Jarvis Street to the first lot (Lot 1, Block 1) on the south side of 226th Avenue. The lots range in area from .81 to 1.71 acres. The largest lot, 4.28 acres is for the existing home. Lot widths range from 84 to 421 feet. The average density is one unit for each 3.75 acres. Outlot A is located on the north side of 226th Avenue and currently shows a barn, pole shed, and another structure. The applicant has indicated an interest in refurbishing the barn for use by the Association for the storage of equipment. Outlot B wraps around the lots on the south, west, and north sides of the plat. The vegetation on Outlot be can be characterized as grassy, with a seasonally high water table. There is a wooded area along the north property line that is at a higher elevation. Outlot C is the 40-acre set aside northwest of the 80. The topography of this area is flat to the west (sod production area) and higher with rolling topography. A gazebo is planned for the knoll on this parcel. Access Roads IIIOne road, 226th Avenue is proposed from Jarvis Street. This will be a ring road, looping back on itself. A 700-foot cul-de-sac (226th Circle) will extend to the west from 226th Avenue. A short road extension (Cleveland Street) is proposed to the north property line that will provide a connection should the property to the north develop. It is anticipated that this extension would connect back to Jarvis Street through the property to the north. The roads will be paved rural sections that would be paved immediately including Cleveland Street. Adequate right of way, which meets the City's requirements, is being dedicated as part of the plat. Since publication of the public hearing notice, staff has received a number of calls regarding the paving of Jarvis Street, which is not paved in this area. Several years ago, the City was interested in paving Jarvis Street, however, Burns Township was not interested in participating in the project. Typically, on road projects that are on City boundaries, costs are shared equally by properties in both jurisdictions. A funding mechanism for payment of this project will need to be determined. Trails Pedestrian trails are being proposed to provide access and connection to the gazebo on the separate 40-acre parcel. The trails are connected to 226th Avenue at three points: two on the south side and one from the extension piece to the north. One of • the southerly connections is located in a 50 foot trail corridor between Lot 5, Block 1, and Lot 1, Block 2. As the area along the south side of the plat is seasonally wet, this
