1 1 1 163 COUNCIL MEETING April 22, 1985 Page Three PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD REPORT - PETE KLUEGEL A. Donnell Realty - Metes and Bounds Conveyance - Mr. Kluegel explained that this is for a metes and bounds subdivision of 76 acres currently zoned rural owned by Robert Lund- gren on Holly Drive. The subdivision has a 60' right -of -way that also extends to the northern boundary of the property, soil analysis has been prepared, letters from the Department of Natural Resources and Rice Creek Watershed District Board, are part of the file, a letter from the engineer with the recommended approval subject too; cash in lieu of land, Mr. Davidson's alternate #2 for road alignment; brush be cleaned out for line of sight access along Holly Drive; and the rec- ommendation of Zack Johnson in his letter of April 5, 1985 which recommends an 80' collector road rather than the in- tended local street with 60' right -a -way. In addition. there was a recommendation from one of the Planning Board Members that the City deviate from the rural standards and ask for 32' width asphalt pavement in lieu of the 24' rural standard. Mr. Reinert asked what reason is there to deviate from the rural standard. Mr. Kluegel said the member felt the 24' width was not adequate. Mr. Reinert referenced a previous work ses- sion regarding rural road construction and asked if the 24' width could be expanded. Mr. Davidson said he recommended the 32' width gravel with top 24' blacktop so that if there was storm sewer construction in the future the ditches could be filled and use the 32' top. Mr. Hawkins asked about the plan for constructing the roads, will building permits be requested before the road is in place. Mr. Kluegel explained they do not plan to build for approximately two years and the road will be constructed first. Mr. Hawkins said he wanted to see the abstracts covering this property to make sure the right parties are named be- cause there is a great deal of easement dedication. He also wanted to see the easement document. Normally before the City accepts these easements, the City should have a developer's agreement with the property owners stating when the roads will be put in, and to what standards and who will pay the costs. Also this agreement should state the people who own the lots now put the road in and will keep the lots until the road is in before marketing them. Mr. Don Nelson from the audience stated it was the intent to file the easements along with each filing for each parcel. There will be four owners of this property and they are fully aware that they cannot build any houses until there is an im- proved road installed.
