# r. COUNCIL MEETING JULY 9, 1990 lots along Birch Street and although this is not a good situation it is a good compromise. There are proposed street connections to Reshanau Lake Estates and Shenandoah. The proposed street connection with Reshanau Lake Estates will be designed so that there should be no traffic going from Reshanau Lake Estates through Colonial Woods. One cul -de -sac in Birch Woods will exceed the maximum length of 500 feet. Drainage will be addressed before the final plat is brought to the Council for approval. Development of this plat will complete the drainage pattern for this entire area. The grading plan includes changing some wetlands to satisfy the Army Corps of Engineers. A permit will be required from them as well as the DNR. A trunk water main is located along Birch Street and will serve the subdivision. Sanitary sewer is a concern. Currently TKDA is preparing a report for a gravity sewer trunk line that will begin at Birch Street and go south through this subdivision and eventually end at the Laurene Street lift station. Although the developer will be required to build the gravity line through his property, he will be pumping the sewage back to the Birch Street force main until the gravity line is completed. A temporary lift station will be constructed to accomplish this matter. It was noted that this temporary lift station will have to be strong and the City Engineer will have to make sure that it is designed so that there will be no problems for the residents. Park land and cash will be required to meet the park dedication requirements. Trails will also be constructed in accordance with the City trail systems plan. Mr. Boxrud noted that the DRB recommended approval of the preliminary plat subject to the following conditions: a variance being granted for the double facing lots along Birch Street, a variance for the cul -de -sac that is over 500 feet, a grading plan and mitigation plan that will satisfy the City, Rice Creek Watershed District, Army Corps of Engineers, approval of the necessary street connection to the Reshanau Lake Estates South subdivision and the trail system. These matters should also be addressed in the Developers Agreement. The double facing lots were discussed. Mr. Boxrud explained that there will be screening along Birch Street and an extra ten (10) feet has been added to each lot to accommodate the screening. • Mr. Mort Huber was in the audience. He noted that the plat will be developed in phases. Phase I will consist of forty seven (47) lots and there will be a total of one hundred thirty five (135) lots. PAGE 4
