would be from Janero Ave. east of Round Lake. Assuming that the 20 acre tract of land proposed for rezoning by Mr. Lengyel is approved we would make the following comments on the plat submitted. City zoning regulations require a minimum 300' lot width and a minimum 5 acres for all property developed in the RR2 zoning district. Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 of the proposed plat do not meet the minimum lot width requirements. In the case of lot 2 and 3 the lot widths are significantly short of that necessary to comply with the city subdivision regulations. The proposed road to serve the subdivision should be identified as 121st St. and the proposed cul-de-sac should be extended to serve lot 1 of the subdivision. The plat enclosed was not submitted to the city for review until July 20, 1988 consequently it has been impossible to get copies to Washington County, Grant Township, and the city engineer for review and comments. Our initial reaction to this proposal is to recommend tabling this subdivision and direct the applicant and surveyor to redesign the subdivision to meet city zoning and subdivision requirements. We would suggest that the three lots on Round Lake be reduced to 2 lots to accommodate the minimum 300' width requirements. If the number of lots on Round Lake are not recduced the plat will have to be redesigned somehow to accommodate the 300' requirement. If the planning commission wishes to move this project forward we would suggest that the recommendation for preliminary plat approval by the commission be subject to special conditions listed below. 1. The preliminary plat be submitted to the city council within 90 days of the commission's recommendation and the revised plat incorporate the recommendations of the staff, Rice Creek Watershed District, and other governmental agencies. 2. The preliminary plat will not be submitted to the council until all legal, engineering, and staff recommendations have been incorporated into the plat. 3. All fees relating to the subdivision shall be paid by the applicant including the cost of recording documents with Washington County. 4. Developer pay fee in lieu of parkland dedication at the time of final plat approval. 5. All street improvements shall be installed as per city design requirements and the cost of all on site improvements be borne by the developer. 6. A drainage plan including holding ponds and ditches must be approved by the watershed district and maintained by the property owner with the method of maintenance to be reviewed by the city engineer. 7. Internal roadway system shall be of bituminous surfacing with installation of curbing and approved and stormwater drainage. S. All interior roadway signs shall be paid for by the developer. 9. Mailbox locations shall be approved by the United States postal service. 10. All development adjacent to the Round Lake shoreline shall be subject to the city's shoreland regulations. 11. Developer shall deposit with the city a certified check in an amount to cover the costs incurred by the city engineer for review, legal review, and administration of this request. Developer shall pay any cost incurred and the city shall reimburse the developer any remaining funds to cover the staff review ($5,000 recommended amount). 12.
