Silverview Estates Dev. Co. Preliminary Plat&Development Review • Planning Cases 501-97 and 502-97 August 20, 1997 Page 5 • The development stage plan was to include specific design elements at the corner of TH 10 and Silver Lake Road in order to create a gateway to the Mounds View Village Center. In lieu of identifying a particular design at this time, however, the development stage plan should reflect that space will be reserved at the corner for subsequent planting and gateway monumentation. The City anticipates that the results of its current effort to identify a TH 10 design theme will drive the specific design and landscaping layout for this corner. Applicant's Response: A 30 x 30 foot triangular easement will be provided at the corner. • An engineering report regarding construction of underground parking for the senior housing component has not been submitted as part of the development stage plan as required by the PUD.

Staff Comment: The August 12 letter from Scott Peters of Mn/DOT that is attached to this report indicates that the PUD site will be allowed no more than two access points along TH 10. The driveway to the former TJB Homes building would constitute a third access point along this segment of TH 10.

As a result, discussions with involved property owners as well as with Mn/DOT representatives will continue in an effort to resolve this question. • Access points should indicate driveway radii in order to assist the Fire Department in its review of the site plan. Additionally, fire hydrant locations should be indicated on the plan as required by the Fire Department.

Fire hydrant locations are shown on the utility plan. • Staff Comment: Planning Staff has been informed that the Fire Marshal has reviewed the site plans and finds that the radii at the site access points provides for adequate turning movements. Fire hydrant locations also have been reviewed and found to be acceptable.
