City Council meeting of May 15, 1989 Page 7 Council meeting. The utility plan calls for a looped watermain system within and around the development in question. Sanitary sewer will be extended to serve all residential lots and the storm water drainage plan is being designed to drain all water to the streets then in an easterly direction to ultimately outlet to a holding pond on the northeast corner of the site. Bituminous streets and concrete curb and gutter will be installed throughout the site. All utilities are to be extended to the site and shall be at the expense of the developer. The city staff is recommending that 140th Street from Highway 61 to Fenway Avenue also be improved with bituminous surfacing at the developer's expense. The Council should note, however, that at this time, primary concern should be with the preliminary plat itself as the utility and on-site improvement issues can be dealt with in the development agreement prior to approval of the final plat. The review and recommendations of the PC and staff are based on the assumption that the project will be developed as submitted in the preliminary plat' The staff is also recommending payment of a fee in lieu of parkland dedication. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the preliminary plat subject to special conditions. City Engineer Kuusisto stated that he had not received copies of the revised drainage and utility plans so he was not prepared to make a report' It was his opinion that there were several concerns yet to be addressed by the developers as indicated in his report of 4/27/89. Mr. Kuusisto felt that resolution of these concerns could be dealt with in the development agreement. Mr. Dennis Murray objected to the requirement that they be responsible for the improvement of 140th Street to serve this development. McAllister made motion, Vail seconded, to approve the preliminary plat of Area Land Devlopers of Hugo for the subdivision of a 20 acre parcel of land into 42 single family residential lots located at the northeast coner of 140th Street and Fenway Avenue' The property is generally described as part of the SE 1/4 of Section 19 and the SW 1/4 of Section 30, T31N, R21W. Preliminary plat approval is subject to the following special conditions: 1. The final plat must be submitted to the city council within 90 days of preliminary survey acceptance or approval shall be null and void. 2. Final plat approval shall be contingent upon compliance with the survey approvals, as well as the grading, stormwater drainage, and utility plans as recommended by the city engineer. 3. All conditions of plat approval must be met prior to the stamping of any deeds for recording by the city clerk unless otherwise permitted by council action. 4. The property lines on site must be identified by the applicants to assure proper setbacks when buildings are to be constructed if required by the building inspector. 5. No building permits shall be issued until the plat has been approved and recorded with Washington County. 6. Securing the required permits from the watershed district for stormwater drainage is required prior to final plat approval. 7. All fees relating to this subdivision shall be paid by the applicant including the cost of recording documents with Washington County. S. Payment of fee in lieu of parkland dedication shall be paid to the city prior to final plat approval.
