Case File: 06-15 Page 2 Action Reauested Staff is recommending approval of the Preliminary Plat. City Council Action Motion by _ Second by _ Vote Follow Up Overview At its meeting on December 18th , 2006, the City Council reviewed a proposed preliminary plat for Cranberry Ridge, a 16 unit single family subdivision, At that time, Staff raised several issues, including transportation connections, future road alignments, and impact on the natural resources. These three issues seemed to be in conflict with established Council policy and City Ordinances. Additionally, at this meeting the Council noted that a vacation of an easement is requested. At that meeting, the Council tabled the items to allow staff and the developer to clarify the east-west utility easement, further evaluate County Road 33 future alignments, and provide a connection to the north and south for future development. CONCERN: Concerns were raised regarding the need for connections between the development and adjacent parcels. ACTION: The Developer addressed this concern by providing a new Street (Lincoln) to the north, allowing access to this parcel. Additionally, the developer added a half right of way as an extension of Johnson street, to permit future access to Oudot B. Access for future development to the southwest is provided via Nixon Street, adjacent to Lot 2, Block 1. Staff had concerns with the alignment of the "hairpin" corner of Olson Street and 206th Avenue. The applicant has modified this corner to address these concerns. The City engineer has noted that wedand impacts may occur with this modification. With any impact, A wedand application is necessary. A Wedand replacement plan shall be developed if the if de minimus amounts are exceeded.. CONCERN: THE UTILITY AND PUBLIC ROAD EASEMENT RUNNING EAST TO WEST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROPERTY. ACTION: The applicant researched the easement and was not able to determine the original purpose of the easement, and speculated that it is a possible driveway connection. Because a connection from this development to Twin Lakes Road is favored, staff suggested vacating this easement and replacing it with a similar easement along the southern border of the plat. The applicant is proposing a 60 foot road and drainage and utility easement along the southern border of the plat in exchange for the vacation of the 66 foot easement that runs east to west in the middle of the property. This new easement could be used for County Road 33 future alignments. The applicant is requesting that if this easement is not used for that alignment it be vacated. The City Engineer and County staff are in agreement. I "-'Dr, " \Lase ,- '" '<0' , " T ,07\CC 2 20 117 -",,"'--', w
