Hugo Gardens Page 8 Utilities The site is served by municipal sanitary sewer and water. Sanitary sewer is available at the intersection of Finale Avenue and 146th Street and will be extended along the proposed Finale Avenue alignment to serve the site. Water is currently located on the southern portion of Finale Avenue and will be extended north along the proposed Finale Avenue and connect to the existing watermain near the well house. Access The applicant is showing a 28-foot wide private drive serving the site (with 24-foot wide driveways to access the units). There are three curb cuts on to Finale Avenue and staff is generally supportive of the locations. However, the main access at Upper 146th should be redesigned to flatten the street alignment at this entrance to better align with the existing street. No parking is allowed on private drives. The drives must comply with the City’s private drive standards, which may include signage to distinguish the private drive from the public streets. The plans must comply with fire department access and turn around requirements. A fire turning radius was provided but must be updated to show compliance in the southeast portion of the site. The Multi-Family Development Design Guidelines notes that streets should provide for continuous circulation routes and dead end drives are discouraged. However, the odd shape of this site makes it difficult to comply and staff is generally supportive of the layout. The applicant is proposing an emergency vehicle access on the south to the senior housing driveway. This would address the emergency vehicle access but it remains unclear how a garbage truck would access the southeast buildings or the far west buildings as there are no turnarounds provided. The applicant must provide proof of the senior housing property owner’s willingness to provide the easement for emergency vehicle access and a formal easement agreement would be required with the final plat application. Street Improvements As part of the LaValle Fields First Addition plat, the approval conditions required public street improvements to be completed in two phases. This is Phase II and with this phase, the PUD required: a. entire length of 147' Street to Oneka Parkway shall be constructed with the first layer of bituminous prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the 1st building. The developer shall be responsible for 65% of the total project costs, subject to City Council review and approval at the time of site plan approval.
