• • Crystal Cove page 6 buildable because of the setbacks from the roads. It is reasonable to develop the site in conformance with the land use category of the comprehensive plan. It is unlikely that other properties in the area are so irregularly shaped. Streets: The proposal requires no new streets. It is common to require the dedication of additional right of way. Thirty feet of right of way was acquired for 79th St. as part of the Highland Meadows East plat. An additional 10 feet is needed to complete the Lake Drive right of way: 60 feet from the centerline. (Ten feet would be acquired on the east side if and when land there subdivides.) Utilities: Public water and sanitary sewer exist both in 79th St. and Lake Drive. Whether it is better to connect in 79th or Lake Drive, and how best to make those connections, is being examined. As with any plat, workable plans will be required. Grading and Drainage: The lots will drain to the stormwater facilities in the existing roadways. Specific grading contours will be required prior to final plat approval. An existing storm sewer pipe crosses the extreme northeast corner of the site. This serves to connect an existing pond on the north side of 79th St. to the stormwater facilities in Lake Drive. The exact location of this pipe has not been determined, nor has it been determined if an easement for it exists. This must be resolved prior to final plat approval. On a larger project, the City would require that these utility and stormwater issues be addressed with the submittal. Because of the small scope of this plat, staff is comfortable that the contours, exact stub locations, size of pipes, and location of a culvert in the very corner of a site will be resolved prior to final plat approval. Park Dedication: At the time of the Highland Meadows East plat, the City collected park dedication fees for the four new house lots created by that plat. The City did not collect park dedication for Outlot B or Outlot A. As stated in the staff report at the time, park dedication for these outlots is to be addressed when they are platted. The cash dedication is $1665 per dwelling unit. The creation of three new dwelling units requires park dedication of $4,995. This will be collected with the development agreement financial securities. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. Ten feet of right of way shall be dedicated to Anoka County for Lake Drive. 2. Lot 2 shall be widened as much as possible and still allow Lot 1 to meet the 80' minimum width and Lot 3 to accommodate a 40' setback from Lake Drive, including the additional 10 feet of right of way. • 3. With the changes described in conditions one and two, variances for lot depth, lot width, and lot area are approved.
