• • • Greenway: The draft Comprehensive Plan identifies areas for greenways. The intent of the greenway designation is to protect environmentally sensitive areas. This was previously part of the original application for this area. However, because the area outside of the current MUSA is not being platted for development at this time the greenway area is not specifically addressed but could be required in the future. Lot Sizes and Layout: The R -1 District minimum lot size is 10,800 square feet of upland. All lots meet or exceed this provision with an average lot size of 17,551.4 square feet of upland. The minimum lot width is 80 feet at the 30 -foot front yard setback. All lots meet this requirement. The minimum lot depth is 135 feet. All of the lots meet or exceed this provision. Grading: Fill is proposed on the site to create the house pad areas and roadways. The grading plan submitted anticipates grading the site for future use. The grading plan is subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. Existing Structures: All existing structures shall be removed from the site. Transportation: Access to the property is proposed from Old Birch Street. This requires right - of -way acquisition from an adjacent parcel, which has been accomplished. A roadway connection is also proposed to Killdeer Drive. This right -of -way acquisition has been completed. Access and road connections have been an issue during discussions regarding the application. Staff has previously stated that neighborhood connections and multiple accesses are desirable and that Birch Street can accommodate traffic from this project. Additionally, the Police Department has reviewed the plat and they are recommending that both accesses be provided (please see attached memo). Landscape /Screening: A landscape /screening plan should be developed along the right -of -way for Killdeer Dr. where it directly abuts existing lots. Utilities: Water is proposed to be looped and sanitary sewer will be constructed through the property along the proposed roadway alignments from Old Birch to Killdeer. A feasibility study has been completed and the results of the study will be incorporated into the construction plans for the development. Parks and Trails: There is a trail corridor proposed on Lots 18 and 19 Block 1 to provide access to the trail corridor platted in the Oaks of Lino. The resident who is adjacent to the existing trail corridor has inquired if the existing corridor could be vacated and no trail access be provided. The Public Service Director has indicated that if a road connection is made between the neighborhoods then a trail connection is not necessary. Park credit for the trail will be applied if a trail corridor is dedicated. No other parkland dedication is proposed with the plat. Dedication will be cash in lieu of land and the trail if determined necessary. The amount to be paid will be based upon the rates in effect at the time of final plat and credit will be given for any land that is dedicated. Saddle Club Page 2 of 5
