The typical street section shall be updated to include the sidewalk along the edge of the street. 9. Any item or condition found that indicates the site is likely to yield information important to pre- history or history shall be reported to the city immediately. Further, the city reserves the right to stop work authorized in its approval until the site is appropriately investigated and work is authorized. Background/Discussion The preliminary plat of Meadowsweet Bend was approved on September 16, 2024, and included 104 single- family lots. All the lots will connect to the city's sewer system, but will have their own private wells. The applicant, Twin City Land Development, is seeking approval of the first phase, which will plat 33 new single- family lots and establish the first intersection with County Road 33. The intersection will align with Joplin Street and construct new right and left-turn lanes into the subdivision. This first phase is consistent with the preliminary plat approval, but staff have requested one change to the street section to simplify maintenance of the required sidewalk. The development is being constructed using a rural section, which has drainage ditches rather than curbing and pipes to convey stormwater. This pushed the sidewalk further into the front yards due to the drainage ditches. This is not inherently a problem. Page 580 of 637
