• • Memorandum DATE: July 7, 1999 TO: Jeff Smyser FROM: John Powell \ RE: Highland Mea ws East Per your request, I have reviewed the proposed Higland Meadows East Preliminary Plat (dated 6/10/99) and Grading and Drainage Plan (dated 6/9/99) which have been submitted for consideration at the July Planning and Zoning meeting. My comments are as follows: 1. The Lake Drive Trunk Utility project currently under construction will provide sanitary sewer and watermain service to this area along 79th Street. The proposed mains on 79th Street include a 21 inch sanitary sewer and a 12 inch watermain. Service stubs can be provided to the individual lots directly from these mains and 8 inch laterals can be provided for the future street extension. 2. As a condition of approval of the Highland Meadows preliminary plat, the developer is responsible for the cost of re- constructing 79th Street between Highland Meadows and Lake Drive to current City standards. The proposed 30 foot wide right -of -way along the north side of Highland Meadows East must be dedicated at no cost to the City. In order to expedite installation of the utilities in this area, the developer must be willing to grant the City a right - of -entry for construction prior to recording the plat. 3. The proposed plan indicates Outlot A is to be "future multi family" and Outlot B is to be "future commercial ". While the ponding may be adequate for the proposed single family lots, we cannot determine whether or not it will be adequate for the future development. 4. The applicant is in the process of obtaining a Rice Creek Watershed District permit. This permit must be obtained prior tot any site disturbance. 5. Lot 2, Block 1; and Lot 1, Block 2; will have to be connected to City Utilities. The existing septic systems on these lots must be abandoned according to code. The wells on these properties must be capped unless the property owners intend to use them for irrigation. 6. The proposed pond appears to overflow into another proposed pond to the west. The developer's engineer should evaluate nay efficiencies which may be gained by combining these two ponds. 600 Town Center Parkway, Lino Lakes, Minnesota 55014 -1182 PhnnA• F.S1- qR7 -74nn • Fav• (,S1 -qR7 -7494 • Tnn• As1 -9R7 -74111
