Streets: Stage Coach Trail is already in place for the majority of the site and will be connected fully with the Grandview project to the south. A sidewalk is shown on the east side of the street within the right of way. This must be continued to the southern boundary of the plat. Conservation Easement: A Conservation Easement was supplied by the developer for Marshan Meadows and will govern the development of both of these lots. Park Dedication: There is no land dedication needed, as Marshan Park is nearby, so the typical park dedication fee will be collected with the Development Agreement. Utilities: Sanitary sewer and water are located within Stage Coach Trail and both lots will be required to connect. The drainage and utility easement indicated on the south property line of Lot 2, Block 1 is depicted at 10 feet in width. This is in excess of what is needed for the city, which is 5 feet in width. This reduction may allow the developer to shift garage footprint closer to the property line thereby increasing the building area on the lot. This must be changed prior to the city signing and releasing the final plat mylar for the project. Grading: The grading plan has been reviewed by the City Engineer and his comments will need to be addressed to his satisfaction prior to the site being developed. The grading plan does acknowledge the Grandview project that was approved by the city earlier this year, and the applicant is working with that developer to make sure that both projects grading work seamlessly together. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of the Preliminary and Final Plat request, subject to the following conditions: 1. Issues discussed in the City Engineer review memo must be addressed to his satisfaction. 2. A development agreement between the city and the developer must be executed prior to the issuance of any building permits for the site. 3. Park dedication must be paid in accordance with the city's fee schedule. 4. A conservation easement shall be granted over the drainage and utility easement within the lots fronting Marshan Lake. Easement restrictions shall be defined prior to city council approval of the final plat. 5. The Rice Creek Watershed District must review the project prior to building permits being issued by the city for any new construction. 6. A boulevard tree shall be provided for each lot frontage. 7. The drainage and utility easement shown on the south property line of Lot 2, Block 1 shall be reduced to 5 feet in width prior to the final plat mylar being signed and released by the city. 8. The signs for the conservation easement must be in place prior to the issuance of building permits for either of the newly created lots. This review is based on the following plans and information: City Engineer Comments dated December 5, 2007 Environmental Board Comments from November 28, 2007 Marshan Meadows 2nd Plan Packet received November 9, 2007
