Memo to Mayor and City Council P 96-4 June 17, 1996 Well and Septic System Page 2 This plat is in an area of the City that currently does not have city water and sewer, nor is it planned as part of the comprehensive plan to have city water and sewer. Therefore, the development as proposed for the platted lot will be required to provide its own septic and well system. Transportation The draft comprehensive transportation plan identifies Jarvis Street as ultimately becoming a minor arterial. Jarvis Street is envisioned to extend north of Highway 10, serving the east and southeast area of Elk River as well as parts of Ramsey. As part of the corridor study the City has been working with MN/DOT on, Jarvis Street has been identified as a future signalized intersection. Therefore, based on these long range plans, staff is recommending additional right of way be dedicated as part of the plat and access issues be carefully addressed at this time, to avoid any future problems as traffic in this area is expected to increase. To assist in the long range planning for this area, John Oliver's office has put together a concept plan which takes a look at the property beyond the limits of the proposed plat (see attached exhibit). Included in the concept plan is a frontage road that extends from Jarvis Street further west providing access to additional property which is currently zoned industrial and commercial. The frontage road shown on the concept plan will intersect with Jarvis Street at the same point 156th Avenue connects with Jarvis on the east side. This design will resemble a typical frontage road concept setback approximately 300 feet from the intersection of Jarvis and Highway 10, providing a safe means of access to the property on either side of Jarvis as it develops. Necessary Road Improvements 156th Avenue NW - as discussed above, 156th Avenue NW is the extension of a frontage road west of Jarvis Street. Staff is recommending that 156th Avenue be improved as part of this development from Jarvis Street to the plat's western limits. This type of improvement has been required of all plats to basically complete the improvements within the boundaries of the development which will allow adjacent properties to develop and extend improvements incrementally as each parcel of property develops. It is envisioned that the frontage road will be an urban section with concrete curb and gutter, very similar to a segment of street recently built by Lee Fredrickson as part of Riverside Auto Sales which is about a quarter mile east of the subject property on Highway 10. s:\council\P96-4.doc
