Lot Dimensions All of the lots in the proposed plat will exceed the minimum requirements in the Rle zoning district. The four lots will range in size from 16,000 square feet to 20,000 square feet in area. Cul-de-sac Length As previously mentioned, the cul-de-sac will be approximately 600 feet in length. The city ordinance allows cul-de-sacs to be a maximum of 700 feet in length and, under certain circumstances, be allowed to extend longer if conditions warrant a longer cul-de-sac. Utility Extension Probably the primary issue involved with this preliminary plat is whether the water line should dead end at the end of Baldwin Street or be continued along a lot line to the north providing for a continuous loop of the water system. Attached to the report to the Planning Commission is Terry Maurer's memo that briefly describes the issue involved with considering whether the water main should be extended through this area. In addition, the fire chief has also submitted a letter indicating his support to have the water line extended further to the north and tie in with the future development of that area to provide for a continuous loop in the system. Since this area is heavily wooded and there has been a desire of the development to minimize work within the wooded areas and preserve as many trees as possible, staff has asked Tim Edgeton of the Sherburne County Tree Board to provide his assessment of the health of the trees at the north end of Baldwin. Attached is a letter from Tim Edgeton basically stating that there are several dead trees at the north end of Baldwin and whether the utilities are extended or not, these should be removed. Planning Commission Recommendation The Planning Commission recommended approval of the preliminary plat request by Phoenix Enterprises based on the twelve conditions outlined in the staff report. Please refer to the attached report to the Planning Commission for additional information.
