The following letter was read by the Village Engineer, Mr. Comstock:
Honorable Mayor and Village Council
Village of Mounds View
New Brighton 12, Minnesota
Re: Preliminary Report Lot 69
Auditor's Sub. #89, Ramsey
County. George 0. Gustafson,
Owner
Gentlemen:
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 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 sub— division 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.
