The <br />information submitted by John Oliver and Associates included a preliminary plat; preliminary <br />grading, drainage, and erosion plan; and a preliminary utility plan. Based on our review, <br />we would offer the following comments: <br /> <br />A. <br /> <br />Preliminary Plat <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />Consideration should be given to lining up the access on Mississippi Road <br />with the existing road to the south. This will eliminate the offset intersection. <br />This issue should also be reviewed by the County Engineer, Dave <br />Schwarting. <br /> <br />2. We would recommend that Lot 6, Block 4, be squared off more to eliminate <br />the narrow (39) back yard dimension. <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />The preliminary plat shows Orono Parkway on the north end of the plat with <br />a 60-foot wide right-of-way. City Council is currently considering whether <br />or not the parkway concept should continue from its current location westerly <br />to the intersection of Joplin Street. If the parkway concept continues to Joplin <br />Street, it will be necessary to have it spill over to the west side of Joplin in <br />order to make the geometrics of the intersection work. If this is the case, a <br />slightly wider right-of-way for Orono Parkway will be needed immediately <br />west of Joplin. It can then narrow down to the 60-foot proposed width. <br /> <br />230!232-J509jun <br />
