drainage plan) must be approved by both the Army Corps of Engineers and the Rice Creek Watershed District. Grading and Drainage. In accordance with City subdivision regulations, a grading, drainage and erosion control plan has been submitted for review. To be noted, however, is that the lot layout depicted on the grading plan does not match the layout depicted. Whereas, the preliminary plat depicts 115 foot wide corner lots, the grading plan illustrates 110 foot wide corner lots. As a condition of preliminary plat approval, the lot layout illustrated on the grading plan should match that shown on the preliminary plat. The grading, drainage and erosion control plan shall be subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. Utilities. As a condition of preliminary plat approval, a utility plan must be submitted. Such plan must demonstrate how all proposed lots are to be serviced and shall be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. Easements. According to the City Subdivision Ordinance, easements at least 10 feet wide (centered on rear and other lot lines) must be provided for utilities where necessary. In addition, easements for drainage purposes must be provided when determined necessary. While the submitted preliminary plat has appropriately provided easements over the property's two drainageway/wetland areas, additional easements for utilities and drainage must be provided. This issue should be subject to further comment by the City Engineer. Park/Trail Dedication. As shown on Exhibit C, a 12 foot wide trail corridor has been proposed along the subject plat's northern border. Such trail would constitute a westerly extension of an existing trail corridor. The acceptability of the proposed trail location, as any other park/trail dedication requirements should be subject to the recommendation by the City -Park Board. CONCLUSION Based on the preceding review, our office recommends approval of the Pine Ridge 3rd Addition Preliminary plat subject to the conditions' listed in the Executive Summary of this report. pc: Darrell Schneider Randy Schumacher Richard Carlson 5
