• • credit for these improvements. The applicant needs to confirm with the power company that the proposed trail easement can be recorded within the power line easement. The board also recommended the addition of pathways leading from the trail segments to the buildings. This has been incorporated into the revised plans. Development Fees: The applicant will be required to pay appropriate park dedication (less credits), sewer, water, and surface water trunk and connection charges as part of this subdivision and site plan review. These fees will be calculated at the time of final plat and the drafting of the development agreement. RECOMMENDATION The Environmental Board met on October 24, 2012, and recommended several changes to the site plan, as outlined in the attached memo. The plan set has been revised to address these comments. Soil borings are still needed to verify the suitability of soils for infiltration. The Planning and Zoning Board met on November 14, 2012, and held a public hearing regarding these applications. Public testimony was taken and the primary concerns were related to the number of liquor stores allowed within the city, a desire for a limit to the number of licenses issued, and the number of existing vacant storefronts. Other issues discussed and addressed by staff included a plan for gasoline spillage, sewer and water extensions, groundwater contamination, the extent of buffering proposed (fence height should be increased), and a request for a trail to be installed. The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval with several conditions on a 7 -0 vote, and adding a condition that the trail be installed both along Main Street and Lake Drive. The recommended conditions have been revised subsequent to the Board meeting, based on the applicant's revised submittal. Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat for Bill's Superette, subject to the following conditions: 1) A trail is installed along both Lake Drive and Main Street; 2) Cross access easements are submitted and approved by city staff to allow both businesses to utilize both accesses; 3) Obtain all necessary permits from the Rice Creek Watershed District, and provide a copy of that permit to the city; 4) Pond areas must be planted with a native seed mix acceptable to the city and managed for a minimum of three years by an approved city contractor; 5) Execution of a Stormwater Operation and Maintenance Agreement between the City and/or RCWD prior to issuance of a building permit; 6) All outstanding land use fees or escrows shall be paid in full prior to issuance of a building permit; 7) Title work satisfactory to the City Attorney shall be submitted and reviewed prior to final plat recording; 8) Preliminary plat approval shall be valid for one year from the date of this approval. The plat and associated development agreement shall be recorded within one year of approval.
