1 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 28, 1994 south of PineRidge I. Ms. Wyland used the overhead projector and explained that the proposed street and lot layout is reflective of the surrounding area land uses and zoning. Based on the following analysis of issues, the Consulting Planner has recommended that PineRidge II preliminary plat be approved subject to the conditions as outlined below: 1. A full cul-de-sac is provided at the terminus of the western most street within the 60 foot right-of-way. The cul-de-sac must be constructed either within the subject plat boundaries or within the adjacent westerly property. (The developer has already made arrangements to purchase the 10 acre parcel to the west and plans to locate the cul-de-sac on this site.) 2. The grading plan and location of drainage and utility easements are found to be acceptable by the City Engineer. 3. Park and trail dedication requirements are met as dictated by the Park Board. (The Park Board has requested a cash donation and trails located on the northwest and southeast corners of the subdivision.) The proposed plat contains 18 lots at a density of 1.8 units per acre. This is well within the limits outlined in the City Code. All proposed lots meet the minimum lot area standard, comply with the minimum lot width requirements and have at least the depth of 135 feet. In addition, all lots show an ability to accommodate the setback requirements. The wetland mitigation plan has been approved by both the Army Corps of Engineers and the Rice Creek Watershed District. The proposed layout of streets is appropriate given the land which abuts this property is zoned Rural. The required 10 foot drainage and utility easements have been placed along all lot lines and over wetland areas and have been reviewed by the City Engineer. Council Member Bergeson moved to approve the preliminary plat of PineRidge II subject to conditions outlined in the February 4, 1994 staff report, noting that Item No. 4 related to the development contract and financial guarantees. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
