• • • JADT Addition Page 3 of 10 Tree Preservation. The tree preservation plan has been superimposed upon the preliminary grading plan. According to the plan, 22 significant trees exist upon the subject property. Of those significant trees, 16 are to be saved. All trees to be saved are to be flagged and protected by snow fence prior to construction. Park Dedication. As part of the previous platting of the property, park dedication was not received. As a result, the proposed subdivision will be subject to park dedication requirements. For commercial development, a park dedication requirement of $2,175 per acre is required. With the subdivision comprising 6.4 acres of upland area (exclusive of ponding), a park dedication of $13,920 will be required prior to the recording of the subdivision. Environmental Issues. The Environmental Board reviewed the request at their July 31, 2002 meeting and recommended approval. Their comments are attached to this report. CEPTED Review. The CEPTED review was completed on June 21, 2002. The primary issues, as addressed on the attached report, regard traffic flow through the development. The development has been redesigned to address these issues. Rice Creek Watershed District Review. The proposed development is subject to Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) approval for both a Land Development Permit and a Wetland Alteration The RCWD issued a TWAFAA ( Tabled with Authorization for Administrative Action) at it's August 28, 2002 meeting. Site and Building Plan Review As indicated previously, the applicant is seeking site and building plan approval to allow the construction of a 14,172 square foot retail commercial center upon proposed Lot 4. At such time when specific development projects exist for the remaining lots in the subdivision (Lots 1 -3), they will likewise be subject to a site and building plan review process. At this point, the site plans provided for Lots 1 -3 are conceptual in nature and are intended to demonstrate the developability of the lots and a comprehensive stormwater management and circulation system. Access. Access to the proposed retail center is to be provided via two 30 foot wide curb cuts along Apollo Drive. While the westerly curb cut is in direct alignment with an existing curb cut to the north, the easternmost curb cut is slightly off -set from an existing curb cut to the north. As a condition of site and building plan approval, the easterly curb cut should be shifted approximately 15 feet to the west to create a direct alignment. Additionally, approval of the easterly curb cut will require an access agreement with Kohl's.
