owarc R. Green Corrpany CONSULTING ENGINEERS June 4, 1998 File: 803590J (0070) Ms. Kathy Glanzer Deputy Clerk City of Little Canada 515 Little Canada Road Little Canada, MN 55117 RE: PITRINA PARK TERRACE SECOND ADDITION FINAL PLAT REVIEW Dear Ms. Glanzer: 11 vat CO. SLUING &MGIMS Formerly MSA Consulting Engineers As requested, we have reviewed the information provided to us regarding the above - referenced project. A copy of the final plat and City Council and Planning Commission meeting minutes were provided to us for review. Based on our review of the provided information, we would offer the following comments: • The pedestrian way shown on the plat is 10 feet in width. The minimum pedestrian way width by City Ordinance is 15 feet. Also, the pedestrian way should be included on the dedication sheet to the public for public use. • It was noted in the June 10, 1997 City Council minutes that access should be provided from one or two of the cul -de -sacs in Pitrina Park to Pioneer Park. There were no accesses included in the First Addition and only one is shown in the Second Addition. • The Utility Superintendent indicated that it was his understanding that the cul -de- sacs were to be privately owned streets and Allen Avenue was to be a public street. The cul -de -sacs are currently shown as platted public streets that will be City maintained. • If the cul -de -sacs are to be private streets, drainage and utility easements over the public improvements would be necessary. The pedestrian way would also need to be extended to Allen Avenue. • A copy of the utility plans was not available at the time of this review. If utilities are to be looped from the cul -de -sacs, drainage and utility easements beyond the easement shown throughout Lot 40 may need to be increased.
