Staff is <br />recommending the access on to County Road No. 30 be removed to reduce the <br />number of turning movements on to "the County road. This was also <br />recommended by the County Engineer upon his review of the plat. <br /> <br />As mentioned, all the lots meet the minimum standards, however, Lot 1, <br />Block 6, is a lot which will be difficult to locate a house and will restrict <br />expansion (i.e., deck, porch) opportunities without requesting a variance. <br />Therefore, it is recommended the lot be eliminated and the difference be <br />added to the other lots within Block 6. <br /> <br />ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS <br /> <br />To facilitate the development of this plat, two roadway projects external to <br />the plat will need to occur. First, Joplin Street will need to be extended north <br />from County Road No. 30 to Highway 10. This road is not expected to be a <br />parkway design rather a typical collector with sidewalks. The second is the <br />westward extension of Orono Parkway connecting with Joplin Street. Staff <br />expects the design of Orono Parkway to be a continuation of the parkway <br />design that is presently in place to Joplin Street. However, west of Joplin it <br />is anticipated that a typical residential road would be constructed to serve <br />the new residential area as well as Sandpiper Estates. <br /> <br />GRADING/UTILITY PLAN <br /> <br />Terry Maurer is reviewing a preliminary grading and utility plan for the <br />proposed plat. This information was received rather late, therefore, Terry's <br />memo will be added to the Planning Commission report or be distributed at <br />Tuesday night's meeting. <br /> <br />TREE PRESERVATION <br /> <br />The north end of the plat has a large mass of significant trees. It is <br />recommended that the developer and builders make every effort to protect <br />and preserve as many trees as possible during construction. Appropriate <br />fencing should be utilized during construction to assure tree protection. <br />
