Staff <br />conducted a thorough site plan review on August 6, 2018. Please address these comments in a <br />response letter and on future plans/submittals: <br />General Comments <br />1.The simple plat process requires submittal of a Final Plat rather than a preliminary plat. <br />Please submit a final plat. <br />2.The plat shows vacation of the right-of-way for Zane Street. This will need to be adjusted <br />based on Council action and associated public improvements (possible cul-de-sac). <br />3.Vacation of the Zane Street right-of-way would leave the parcel at the end of Zane Street <br />(Elk River Lodge and Residential Suites) without access to a public street. Ordinance <br />requires all parcels to have frontage on a public street. What alternatives do you propose? <br />4.The submitted narrative notes the desire to dedicate property along the river to the city for <br />the purposes of a park. The plat does not reflect the land to be dedicated. The plat will need <br />to be updated based on the feedback/recommendationsfrom thePark and Recreation <br />Commission. The meeting is tentatively scheduled for September 12, 2018. <br />5.Public park and recreation facilities may not be accessed through private property. Any <br />deviation will need approval from the City Council and acceptance of easement access <br />agreements. <br />6.Proposed private improvements, parking and stormwater, are not permitted in the public <br />right-of-way for Zane Street. <br />7.The minimum parking setback is 10’ from property lines. If the deviation is to be a part of <br />the PUD, please specify a setback distance. Include the proof-of-parking locations for Elk <br />River Lodge in site plans for this project. <br />8.Show tree clearing limits as well as the other side of the trees. <br />9.Submit a complete landscape plan for review and comment. <br />10.Submit a complete lighting plan for review and comment. <br />11.Ordinance requires 2.5 parking stalls per unit, or 258 total parking spaces.
