IrNA Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. C U R B A N P L A N N I N G • D E S I G N • M A R K E T R E S E A R C H PLANNING REPORT TO: Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: Stephen Grittman DATE: 2 July 1992 RE: Little Canada - Yorkton Ridge West FILE NO: 758.09 - 92.16 BACKGROUND Yorkton Ridge West, a single family plat of 27 lots south of the Yorkton Industrial Park, is being pursued by a new developer, Heritage Development of Little Canada. This preliminary plat was approved by the City Council last year, but was never final platted. As a result, the approvals given have expired and the plat must be re- submitted. Heritage is pursuing the same layout as the previous developer, and would like both preliminary and final plat approval simultaneously. This process is allowable under the City's Subdivision Ordinance. ANALYSIS The approval given last year was conditioned upon the street terminating in a cul -de -sac with a cash escrow for future connection to the north if it was later determined to be necessary. Also of concern was access to the plat over the Fasciana property from Jackson Street. The developer has indicated that these conditions are being met. Other concerns included park land dedication for access to the water works trail on the east, and grading and drainage plans. The Park Commission should review the park dedication and fee requirements for the proposal. With regard to grading and drainage, a concern had previously been raised as to the destination of the stormwater runoff to the north. As drawn, the stormwater will drain into the industrial property directly, 5775 Wayzata Blvd. • Suite 555 • St. Louis Park, MN 55416 • (612) 595- 9636•Fax. 595 -9837 Page 63
