• • Planning and Zoning Board July 13, 1983 Page -7- City. From the developers standpoint, it may be cheaper to buy service from neighboring communities. However, that may not be best for the City. Mr. Doocy stated this plat is in an area that could easily be serviced by the Circle Pines Gas utility. Who would provide this service? Mr. Davidson said the developer is always responsible for providing private utility service such as gas, electric, telephone. Mr. McLean said the developer should be aware of what gas franchise area this development is in. Mr. Goldade asked about cable T V. Mr. Davidson said the City has set standards for installation of underground utilities to include cable T V. Mr. Prokop asked if there could develope a situation where the streets would be installed and then have to be dug up a time or two for install- ation of utilities. Mr. Davidson said he recommends that the final street and concrete curbs be installed a year after the underground utilities are installed, mostly because of settling. Mr. Prokop noted the letter from the City of Circle Pines to Mayor Benson regarding concerns on Baldwin Park in Circle Pines. Mr. Short felt the impact would still be minimal. It is a neighborhood park and meant to service a 4 mile radius or one mile diameter. It has nine acres. Much of the service area this park is to serve is undevelopable because of the Baldwin Lake and the Anoka County Open Space. The Planning and Zoning Board felt this is an item the Park Board should deal with. Mr. Shorts Comments: Mr. Short felt that even though there is the concern from Circle Pines with the impact of the plat on Baldwin Park, walkways should be provided because older children will naturally gravitate to this park. He is suggesting an easement between lots 7 and 8 possibly. He feels they should plan for an eventual agreement between Lino Lakes and Circle Pines on the use of Baldwin Park. Mr. Short asked if there had been contact with Mr. Schmidt regarding extending Lakeview Avenue to the north into the Schmidt property. The answer was. inaudible. (� icy, ` t rL (fy7 r, A landscape buffer is required when an R -7 District is adjacent to a minor arterial or collector roadway. Additional lot depths are provided. In addition a landscape plan and buffer plan should be provided. There may be a need for a restrictive soils permit. Regarding park dedication, the areas indicated as "Park" are low areas and probably not acceptable for park use. Mr. Kluegel noted the park board had requested money in lueu of land for this plat. Mr. McLean felt there will be a lot of smaller children in this plat. Mr. Short felt because of the size of the rear yards, the lots will provide play area for the small childredn and Baldwin Park will pick up from there.
