NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS INC. MEMORANDUM TO: Ron Flynn FROM: Brad Nielsen DATE: 30 September 1981 RE: Flynn Construction Company - Proposed Plat FILE NO: 758.09 (81.35) As planning consultants for the City of Little Canada, we have been asked to review your proposed subdivision plat, dated 24 September 1981. Since the draw- ing which has been submitted does not meet the requirements for a preliminary plat, we are assuming that you are only requesting "sketch plan" approval at this time. Since a preliminary plat will be required prior to the public hearing on your subdivision request, we have attached Section 1005 of the Ordinance. for review. GENERAL COMMENTS - SKETCH PLAN 1. Due to discrepancies in legal descriptions which have been previously noted for the area in question by the City Engineer, we are suggesting that he review the survey and legal description of the property in question prior to any approval by the City. 2. What is the proposed ownership of the land over which NSP has its power line easement? Presumably this property will be included as part of adjoining lots. If so, it should be clearly shown on the preliminary plat. Also, as you may recall, when the Planning Commission reviewed the street plan for the area in question, they proposed a road to the west over the power line easement. This has not been addressed on your plat. 3. The alternate proposed road sketch on your plan is not considered acceptable. The Subdivision Ordinance requires no less than 125 feet between street intersection jogs. 4. Presumably, Outlots A and B will be sold or otherwise conveyed to property owners to the south. 5. We recommend that any streets which will not be immediately connected through should terminate in a temporary cul -de -sac rather than a deadend. This can be handled by temporary easement until such time as the street is extended through. 4820 minnetonka boulevard, suite 420 minneapolis, mn 55416 612/925-9420 16
