boundary is correct as currently depicted, numerous lots would be deficient in terms of lot area (lot and block numbers not provided on concept plan). Concept plan approval will be contingent upon lot area compliance. Streets. The subdivision street layout is responsive to physical limitations which exist in the area (i.e., wetlands, tree massings, etc.) and are reflective of the area's available buildable land. As noted previously, the use of cul-de-sacs has been prompted by the site's natural features and are considered generally positive. While appropriate right-of-way widths (60 feet) have been provided, some concerns exist in regard to street configurations. Specific items of concern entail the following: 1. At 650 feet in length, the Thomas Street cul-de-sac exceeds the maximum 500 foot length allowed by Ordinance. Considering the physical limitations of the subject site, justification for variance approval would appear to exist. 2. Impact of the necessary vacation of a portion of Thomas Street and Laurie Avenue. This item should be subject to comment by the City Engineer. 3. Resubdivision limitations imposed on adjacent properties due to street alignments. On a positive note, all proposed lots have been provided access to local streets. Additionally, future street extensions have been integrated into the subdivision design. Parks. In preliminary review, the City Parks Director has indicated that no park dedication will be required of the proposed subdivision. The proposed subdivision should, however, be subject to review and comment by the City Park Board in regard to preferred dedication requirements. Grading and Drainage. As part of forthcoming preliminary plat submissions, a grading and drainage plan must be submitted subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. Utilities. Development of the proposed subdivision will require the extension of utilities. As part of forthcoming preliminary plat consideration, a utility plan must be submitted for review. The said plan will be subject to review and comment by the City Engineer. As noted previously, the applicant has proposed to extend sanitary sewer service northward along 4th Avenue and westward along Lilac Street at his sole expense. As a result, area property owners would not be required to pay for such an extension unless connection to the facility is requested. 8
