REVIEW OF PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR BRANDYWOOD, DENNIS ERICKSON'S PROPERTY, APPLICATION #90 -25 AND VARIANCE, APPLICATION #90- 29. Steve Johnstone from Merilla & Associates is the Project Engineer for Dennis Erickson and Mark Fitzgerald. Mr. Johnstone stated that there have been some changes made to the preliminary plat. Park trails have been added, and a park dedication of 4 1/2 acres is proposed. A variance is also required on the plat due to double frontage lots adjacent to Birch Street. Again, this is because of the danger in having driveway access along Birch Street. Steve Johnstone stated that 70 lots are included in the preliminary plat, and the plat will be constructed in two phases. Dan Boxrud discussed grading and drainage. Along the south border of the plat drain tile is proposed for the westerly half of the plat. The intent is to lower the water table so that the proposed homes can have a full basement. A control structure is proposed to be built under the bike trail to control storm water runoff as the water again exits the plat. From the southeast corner of the plat westerly through Lot 21, a clay groundwater barrier is proposed to be constructed. The intent would be to dam up groundwater coming from the south so it can be picked up by a storm sewer between Lots 17 and 18. Dan Boxrud stated that this may work. If this does not adequately protect the lots from saturated subsoil Boxrud advises that the developer change the homes to split Page 4 1 1 1
