corner lots. Lot width requirements are 75 feet for interior lots and 80 for corner lots. Lot 1, which is a corner lot, does not meet the minimum requirement, therefore, lot lines will have to be adjusted accordingly. Lots 2 -10 meet all interior lot size requirements, and Lot 11 meets all corner lot requirements. Streets and Cul -de -sacs. Lots will gain access off of the proposed cul -de -sac that intersects with Little Canada Road. Lots 1 and 11 may gain access off of Little Canada Road as well as the proposed cul -de -sac. The subdivision ordinance requires that cul -de -sacs be no longer than 500 feet in length. The proposed cul -de -sac is roughly 480 feet, therefore, under the maximum requirement. During review of this proposal in 1990, it was recommended that a roadway easement be required between lots 8 and 9 (Exhibit C) to connect the subject property with the adjacent property to the East, and provide a loop street. However, further review by the City Engineer determined that the topography of the lot and location of the adjacent house makes a loop street infeasible. Easements. The Subdivision Ordinance requires easements for utilities of at least six (6) feet in width to be provided along all lot lines. The preliminary plat does show six foot easements on all the lots. However, they are not labeled as utility easements. These required easements should be labeled on the final plat, and be reviewed by the City Engineer prior to approval. Grading & Drainage. Since the original application was made in 1990, the applicant has excavated dirt and removed it from the site, therefore, the elevations have been lowered slightly. The updated grading plan and drainage plan are to be reviewed by the City Engineer and Public Work Director subject to their recommendations. Their review and approval will be a condition of preliminary approval. Park Dedication. As a prerequisite to all plat approvals, the subdivider shall dedicate to the City or dedicate the public use, for park or playground purposes, for public open space or in lieu of a cash equivalent. In 1990, the Park Commission recommended a loo dedication of land for public purposes. Outlot A represents the required park land dedication. A 10o park dedication equals 17,700 square feet. Outlot A, by dimension contains 17,190 square feet, therefore meeting the park land dedication. It should also be noted that the square footage for the outlot shown on the preliminary plat is incorrect. Outlot A contains 17,290 square feet and not 38,000 square feet. 2 Page 97
