Proceedings of the Village Council The following letter was read by the Village Engineer, Mr. Comstock: Honorable Mayor and Village Council Village of Mounds View New Brighton 12, Minnesota Gentlemen: Re: Preliminary Report Lot 69 Auditor's Sub. #89, Ramsey County. George 0. Gustafson, Owner '30122 11/3/59 Page 3 As directed by the Village Council, we hereby submit this report of our preliminary investigation of the proposed subdivision of Lot 69, Auditor's Subdivision No. 89 by George 0. Gustafson, present- ly zoned for Residential "A" development. Future Water and Sanitary Sewer service could be provided by connection to water mains and sanitary sewer lines which could be located in Groveland Avenue and the proposed extension of Fairchild Avenue. The Street Right -of -Way width of 33' for the proposed Fairchild Avenue extension is adequate for a z street width. The remaining 33' could be obtained from the property abutting to the East at some future date when the Fairchild Street connection is desired. It is suggested an additional 15' of right -of -way for the East one -half of Groveland should be dedicated along with the plat. Since Groveland is planned as a Major North -South street, a minimum of 80 foot wide right of -way will be required to construct the street under current sub- division regulations, Section 112.5 -1. The East -West dimensions of the proposed lots should be adjusted, keeping in mind the additional right -of -way requirement will exist for future sub- divisions over the entire North -South dimension of Groveland Avenue from County Road "J" to T.H. #10. Lots 1 thru 5 inclusive, should be red tagged so that building permits are not issued for these lots until proper street access is available. The subdivision regulations require the developer to open, grade, and surface all proposed new streets within the proposed sub division namely the West one -half of Fairchild Avenue. It appears that this requirement will either have to be waived or satisfied by a bond or Escrow deposit. The difficulty is in determining a reasonable estimate of the cost for this work when the time element for opening the street is unknown. It appears the most reasonable way to completely satisfy the regulations would be for the developer to plat only the West one -half of Lot 69 at this time, and plat the East one -half of Lot 69 at some future date when access is available to Fairchild Avenue. Storm Water from the greater portion of Lot 69 flows to the South and collects in the low area approximately 150' South of the South Boundary of the Plat.
