Based upon our review we would offer the following comments: 1. The driveways for units 5.6, 7$ and 9-10, all rUn together at the curb line of the street In othe^ words, there w111 be a driveway over 110 feet long. It will be vary diftlcult to piow snow in this area or place other utilities such as cable TV or electric, which requires !unction boxes behind the curb. An attempt should be made to get these three units so that their driveways do not meet at the curb line and there is space for snow storage and utility facilities. 2. We would recommend an easement be placed adjacent to the cul-d®-sac outside the driveway areas for snow storage. !f there is ever heavy snow fail through winter months this would prpvide the Public Works bepartment a place to store excessive snow rather then hauling i4 from the cul-de-sac due to the number of driveways. 3. Who-e the cul-de-sac meets Lithe Canada Road it is approximately 70-feet wide. The throat of the cut-desac should be narrowed substantially at this point by extending the curb lines and putting in a sharper radius on the west side of the cul•de-saC. ° Q. The eroposed pathway that leads from the cul-de-sac northward to the park area should be 10-feat in width rather than the 5 that is proposed. If this is to be a public pathway, it should also be placed in an outlok which can be dedicated to the City. 5. Unit 15-11i driveway is very close to the intersection .of Little Canada Road at4 of Jackson Street. An attempt should be made to resituate this unit sc that this driveway is further north from the Little Canada Road intersection. 6. Unit 17-18 and 19-20 again have their driveways converge at the edge of the road. Also both of their driveways are at a skewed angle with the road. These units should be adjusted slightly so that the driveways do not meet at the edge of Jackson Street and also the drive.vaye ehould be turned to moot ao eiooo to 00 dogreco es pe6siblt at the curb Ifna. '1 t5a same Is true about the angle of the driveway for unit 20-21. 7. The plan Indicates that the new cul•de-sac radius of the pavement will be 40-feet. The standard pavement radius would be 45-feet. The question is whether 40-feet provides enough for a snowplow to tum around without a backing motion. 8. The plan shows 5-feet of the Jackson Street right-of-way to be vacated. It is not clear Pram the d-swings why this is proposed or whetrier or not it should be allowed. 0:1PROJ1000390J10240UV 2a~o0 chahman,doc 1325 EnOryy Park Drtve .

Perhaps the pond can be prbvlded 1n the south end of the perk area Just north of'tha' development. 10. Little Canada Road is proposed to tie reconstructetl during the summer of 2000. Construction activities for Park Place will have to be coordinated with the reconstruction of Lithe Canada Road. If you havo any questions regarding any of these comments please call.

Fahey COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim La Valle Steve Morelan Rob Pedersen ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson I have reviewed the drawing of the proposed lot split at 3240 Twin Lake Road. The following are my comments: The City's sanitary sewer line that follows along the north property line currently has a 15' easement over it. This sanitary sewer connects to an existing sanitary sewer line that follows the Twin Lake shoreline to the south. This sanitary sewer line has a 20' easement over it. These sanitary sewer lines are extremely difficult to get to and perform maintenance. In fact, access to the sewer line that follows the shoreline is, for the most part, nonexistent. As a result, I recommend the following: a. The 15' easement over north property line sanitary sewer be changed to a 25' wide permanent City right-of-way that would end at the east line of the shoreline easement. (See attached sketch.) b. A 15' wide Class IV road be installed along the sewer center line from Twin Lake Road to the connection manhole of the shoreline sewer. GS:kp 2. Correct the direction of flow shown on your drawing for the Twin Lake Shores' sanitary sewer. It flows south.

In one case, a dispute arose between neighbors as to a concrete pad which one property owner constructed adjacent to the common property line. The neighboring property owner contended that the City's zoning ordinance prohibits such an improvement in the side yard. City staff interpreted the ordinance differently, but has prepared the attached amendment to help clarify the language in this area. One of the issues which was raised in this situation is the definitions of the improvements listed in the ordinance. A second issue was the fact that the City does not issue building permits for some of the improvements, resulting in a condition where a property owner might unknowingly establish a certain improvement encroaching into a side yard setback without the need to contact City Hall, but the neighbor would then ask City Hall to enforce its ordinance. The attached ordinance attempts to better define some of these improvements, and also attempts to reflect the City's traditional interpretation and enforcement patterns. cc: Kathy Glanzer Greg Schmidt Elizabeth Mursko Greg Schroeder 5775 WAYZATA BOULEVARD, SIIITF ~~G cT ' OUIS PARK.
