Memo to Mayor and City Council/P 01-08 July 16, 2001 Page 3 Grading and Drainage The City Engineer has addressed the grading and drainage issues in his attached memo. The Engineer has reviewed the current drainage plan and his updated comments are included in his most recent memo. Located along the west property line is a detention pond that is being constructed by Sherburne County as part of the County Road 12 improvement project. The County's original position was that this pond could not have water from the development pass through it. The County has since changed its position, and water from the development will be allowed to pass through the pond. The developer is not proposing to expand the pond area as originally proposed. The development proposes to have two ponds located within Outlot C that will handle runoff from the subdivision. A third pond located in Block 2 has been designed that will also handle the storm water runoff. Park Dedication The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the preliminary plat and park dedication at its May 9, 2001 meeting. After discussion and negotiation with the developer, the Commission agreed to accept 7.9 acres of land for park dedication. The Park and Recreation Commission recommended a sidewalk along Street E connecting County Road 12 with Fillmore Street. At the June 12, 2001 meeting, the Planning Commission recommended that sidewalks be added to Street A, Street B, and Street G. Landscape Plan The developer has submitted a landscape plan that provides one street tree and one yard tree per lot with two of each on corner lots, in compliance with the landscape requirements in the subdivision ordinance. Along the County Road 12 and Fillmore Street right-of-ways, six- foot high fences and additional buffering landscaping are proposed to provide buffering or screening from the adjacent roadways. Planning Commission Action The Planning Commission meeting minutes are attached for information purposes. The Commission considered this request at its meetings of May 22, June 12, and June 26, 2001. The plat was tabled on two occasions in order to resolve grading and drainage issues with Sherburne County. Mr. Getz, residing south of the plat was interested in whether he would be assessed for sewer and water. He will not. Mrs. Brown, property owner to the south and west of the plat was concerned about water quality and future residents trespassing on their property due to the existence of the electrical powerline easement.
