Fox Meadows Preliminary Plat Page 4 Wetlands The applicant submitted wetland delineation for the project, which has been approved by the City as the Local Government Unit (LGU). There is one wetland within the plat, and the applicant is proposing to fill the wetland with the development. A wetland fill/replacement plan will need to be approved at the time the future phase is developed. No other LGU approvals are necessary to move forward with the first phase of development. Utilities Water service is available to the property via the existing Beaver Ponds development along with the water system adjacent to Well #6. A portion of the development will include the construction of an oversized watermain, and oversizing credits will apply. The sanitary sewer will be connected to the existing Beaver Ponds South system to provide sewer service to the development. This will require the reconstruction of a segment of sewer within Fondant Avenue within Beaver Ponds South so that adequate depth can be achieved.The sewer plans include an extension to the southwest corner of the plat which, when combined with existing sewer stub extensions, provide sewer availability to rhe existing properties located west of the development and north of 125"' Street. The sewer from the proposed development eventually flows into the Beaver Ponds Lift Station. The applicant will be required to contribute to the cost of the lift station. The cost related to this will be included in the Development Agreement for the project. Water and Sewer trunk fees will apply to the project, and will be included within the Development Agreement. Streets/Access Street access will be provided by via 125' Street, as well as making connections to the existing roadways within the Beaver Ponds South development. Traffic generated from this development, as well as a portion of the Beaver Ponds development, will use 125th Street to gain access to Highway 61. There will be an increase in the volume of traffic using 1256' Street compared to the current dead-end roadway. The applicant is proposing to extend 125 ' Street as a rural—section paved roadway between Northern Pines and the west boundary of the proposed plat. The roadway would transition to an urban section at the west plat boundary line. The roadway segment located east of Northern Pines will be relocated slightly so that it is located in the center of the existing right-of-way. The City's Comprehensive Transportation Plan includes the extension of 125' Street, to the south, through the Oneka Ridge Golf Course property in the fixture if the property is ever developed. The plat for Fox Meadows includes sufficient right-of-way at the southwest corner of the plat to allow for reconfiguring the 1250' Street/Fondant Trail intersection as necessary to allow future development.
