• • • As part of the final plat, the developer must dedicate the Arlo Lane right of way. This will fulfill the intent of the City when Mar Don Acres was platted. Arlo Lane exists now, and the dedication will be a formality. Utility work in Lois Lane will disturb the existing pavement. This road must be reconstructed, with curb and gutter, up to City standards. Park Dedication: The current subdivision ordinance includes park dedication requirements, as adopted in 2001. Park dedication is $1665 per residential unit, less any land dedication. There is no land dedication needed, as Highland Meadows Park abuts the site. The park dedication will be $1665 x 10 new home lots = $16,650. Utilities: Sanitary sewer and water are available in Lois Lane at the west edge of the Highland Meadows West development, adjacent to the Haley Manor site. All lots, including existing homes, must connect to utilities. Onsite septic systems must be abandoned according to law. In addition, existing wells likely will have to be capped because of proximity to new sanitary sewer lines. These and other issues discussed in the City Engineer review memo must be addressed to his satisfaction. Grading and Stormwater Management: The grading plan proposes a pond to be created within the rear yards of the western eight lots north of Lois Lane. The outlet of this pond will be between Lots 5 and 6, Block 1, to the existing stormwater sewer facilities in Arlo Lane. The grading and drainage related modifications and comments, as recommended by the City Engineer in the attached memorandum must be addressed to the City Engineer's satisfaction. The plan is also subject to review and approval from the Rice Creek Watershed District. ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD The Environmental Board reviewed the project at its June 25 meeting. The following is an exerpt from the Environmental Specialist memo that covers several projects: Topic: Frank Feela Inc., Hailey Manor Recommendations: The Environmental Board made the following comments and recommendations concerning Hailey Manor: • Look at a more creative design, such as duplexes or other structures, to create more open space on the North side. • Identify an access area for the proposed infiltration pond. • Identify a control (signage and legal) for the preservation of native materials in the infiltration area. • Work with the City Natural Resource Specialist to try to save more hardwood trees. • Recommend not setting precedence on a rezone request where there is no defined MUSA allocation. (Strong concern about this issue.)
