ANALYSIS Preliminary Plat: The City Council approved the applicant's preliminary plat on 27 July 1988 subject to the planners recommendations and approval by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Mr. Palmen had stated at said meeting the Army Corps approval letter was forthcoming and has since received the letter and submitted it to the City Engineer. Lot Requirements: Lot lines for Lots 4 -7 have been slightly altered, however, all proposed lots still meet or exceed all Ordinance requirements for minimum lot area and width and the number of lots remains the same. The changes are only slight adjustments and do not alter the general layout or density of the plat. Easements: The Little Canada Subdivision Ordinance requires at least a six (6) foot drainage and utility easement along all lot lines for all subdivided property. This is a special concern in this case due to the existence of low lands at this site. By providing these easements now, future drainage problems, if any, can be dealt with and alleviated within established easements. Various Agency Approval: Based on NAC's recommendations from the 7 July 1988 report, the applicant has also received written approval from the St. Paul Water Works allowing a driveway access across the water works easement and written approval from the Ramsey- Washington Metro Watershed District to allow the proposed development near the wetland. RECOMMENDATION Although some lot lines have been altered between the preliminary and final plat, the number of lots remains the same and the lot area of all lots remain in excess of Ordinance standards. Because the proposal has gained approval from all pertinent agencies, we recommend approval of this final plat subject to all comments by City staff. cc: Joe Chlebeck Tom Sweeney Don Carley John Palacio Ronald Palmen Page 20
