• Planning & Zoning Marshan Estates February 11, 2004 to match the existing fence line and monumentation. This adjustment should also be made to the Outlots along the north side of Marshan Lane. By doing this, the proposed boundary of the plat will establish the framework for deed corrections to individual properties north of Marshan Lane. Setbacks. The required setbacks established in the R -1 District are the greater of the following: 40 feet (Collector or Arterial Street), 30 feet (Local Street), 30 feet (front yard), 30 feet (rear yard), and ten feet (side yard - principal building). The lots have adequate dimensions to meet required setbacks. Note: the existing attached garage on Lot 4, Block 1 encroaches approximately 10 feet into the street setback area. This is a preexisting condition created when the road right -of -way for Marshan Court was deeded to the City in 1995. Both the house on Lot 4, Block 1 and the house located immediately to the east were constructed prior to this dedication. Street and Block Design. Marshan Lane and Marshan Court are existing streets, and no changes are proposed. The plat does provide dedicated right -of -way for Marshan Lane and Marshan Court. The plat also provides 20 feet of additional right -of -way for Lake Drive in conformance with City and County requirements for arterial streets. Access control dedicated to Anoka County is also shown on the plat along Lake Drive. Grading and Drainage. A grading plan has been submitted and is subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. His comments are attached. The development as proposed is to be custom graded on a lot -by -lot basis. Individual lot purchasers and/or builders will be required to submit a site - specific grading plan as part of the building application. Utilities. Utility plans are being prepared by the City Engineer, TKDA. Both sewer and water are proposed to be extended from the Lake Drive /Town Center Parkway intersection. Drainage and Utility Easements. Drainage and Utility easements are proposed being five feet in width at adjoining lot lines, and 10 feet in width at adjoining street lines and rear lot lines, as required. A 50 -foot drainage and utility easement adjacent to County Ditch Number 10 is also provided. Parkland Dedication. Staff is recommending 100% cash payment in lieu of parkland dedication. However, staff would also recommend dedication of a 10 -foot wide trail easement adjacent to Lake Drive, which would overlay the required 10 -foot drainage and utility easement. City Park and Trail plans identify a proposed future trail along Lake Drive. Additionally, provision of this easement allows for flexibility with future Lake Drive improvements. Floodplain. Portions of the site lie within a Flood Plain Zone A, which follows County Ditch Number 10. RCWD has established the flood elevation at 886.0. The City's Floodplain Management Ordinance requires that principal structures be located no lower than one foot above the regulatory flood protection elevation. The City's Subdivision
