<br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Jeremy Barnhart, Planning Manager <br /> <br />FROM: Terry Maurer, City Engineer <br /> <br />DATE: November 9, 2006 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Liberty Heights Estates of Elk River <br />File #226..046P <br /> <br />As requested, we have reviewed the revised submittal package for the Liberty Heights <br />Estates plat prepared byJohn Oliver & Associates with a revision date of October 30, 2006. <br />Based upon our review, we would offer the following comments: <br /> <br />A. General <br /> <br />· This property has never been assessed for sanitary sewer and water. If it is to be <br />included in the Urban Service District:, it needs to accept the sanitary sewer and <br />water trunk assessment at the rate established for the year that it is platted. <br />Trunk sewer and water assessments are levied against all land in the plat, <br />excluding delineated wetlands not disturbed by construction. The area to be <br />assessed will include the park land and potential school site. <br />· As with the River Park addition, this plat should be required to pay $1,000 per <br />single family residential unit towards the reconstruetion cost of County Highway <br />40. <br />· In response to our memo dated August 28, 2006, the developer has shown the <br />lo-foot wide bituminous trail along the entire frontage of County Highway 40. <br />They have also shown a landscape berm with decorative fence. Specific review <br />of this landscaping and fence installation will be done when construction plans <br />are~~~ . <br />· They have now shown the lo-foot wide bituminous trail around the edge of the <br />large wetland basin. There are areas where the trail symbol is shown through <br />ponding areas and over relatively steep slopes. Again, a more detailed review of <br />the trail construction around the large wetland will be done when construction <br />plans are submitted. <br />· The wetland buffer has been indicated on the plans around all wetland areas to <br />be avoided. It appears that all building sites meet the Wetland Buffer Ordinance. <br />
