BALD EAGLE ESTATES SURD FLAT (GALLIVAN/GRANGER) On behalf of Birchwood Builders, Inc., an application has been made for the subdivision of 43 acres into 28 lots located west of Highway 61 and north of Lake Air Estates (the E 1/2 of the SW 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 31, T31N, R21W, and the SE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 lying westerly of the railroad right-of-way in Section 31, T31N, R21W). In conjunction with the subdivision application, a request is also being made for a variance to allow for a temporary private road access and a cul-de-sac street exceeding 600' on the subdivision plat. The applicants propose to develop 27, one acre lots, and one outlot with the subdivision. The layout for Bald Eagle Estates subdivision is primary access from 126th Street North and Falcon Avenue extended. The developer intends to use the on-site wetlands as the surface water storage area for the development in question. It is the intent of the developer to service the lots in question with sanitary sewer and streets/curb and gutter. Copies of the preliminary plat were submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review and no comments were made. On February 24, 1988, a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission to consider this request. During the public hearing, numerous residents from Oakshore Pari: appeared and indicated their opposition to this development because of the excess of traffic, speeding, and heavy equipment that will be in the area during construction. The preliminary plat has been submitted to the Rice Creek Watershed District and DNR for their review and comment. The administrative staff from agencies have indicated that they can see no major problems with the plans submitted; however, as of the date of this memo (7/1/88)0 the Boards of these agencies have not acted formally on the drainage plan. The applicant has indicated he will conform to the recommendations of both agencies, and that permits will be in hand prior to final plat approval. The applicant has deposited with the city a check in the amount of $10,000.00 to cover the admininstrative and engineering costs during the course of this project. The developer has agreed to improve Falcon Avenue from 126th Street North to 124th Street North at his expense with the understanding that the city will use its parkland dedication fee from this project to cover the cost of the Falcon Avenue improvement in front of the city park within Lake Air Estates. The applicant is in the process of completing a traffic survey of the area to demonstrate that the road design is capable of handling the existing and projected traffic volumes within the project and surrounding area.
