Staff recommends that park dedication be satisfied by cash per lot. No trail access appears to be needed. This item was tabled at the February Planning Commission meeting but could be brought up again in March. Therefore it is appropriate for the Park Committee to make a recommendation at this time. i CITY OF EAGAN Revised from John Voss' report dated November 22, 1978. SUBJECT REZONING & PRELD4INARY PLAT PETITIONER: PHILLIP T. BRANDT w ~9 r LOCATION: NW4 of SECTION 25, DIRECTLY EAST OF SADDLE HORN ADDITION EXISTING ZONING: A, AGRICULTURAL DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: FEBRUARY 27, 1979 DATE OF REPORT: FEBRUARY 21, 1979 REPORTED BY: DALE C. RUNKLE Petitions Filed 1. A petition has been submitted to rezone a five (5) acre parcel from A, Agricultural, to R-1, Residential Single District. 2. A request for a preliminary plat, Sunset Addition, in order to sub- divide a five (5) acre tract into twelve (12) single family lots. Cents The proposed plat, Sunset Addition, follows the same design characteristics as the Saddle Horn Addition which is located directly east of the proposed plat. The plat meets all the requirements of the R-1 zoning district and would provide continuity to the undeveloped land which surrounds the Sunset Addition. Hackmre Drive, which borders the southern boundry of the plat, would continue when the undeveloped land to the-west if platted. Whisper lane would also be able to continue north as the land continues to develope. At present, Whisper lane is intended to have a temporary cul-de-sac on the northern edge of the plat to allow turn around for maintenance vehicles. When the area to the north is developed, Whisper lane could also service this area. The reason Mr. Brandt is proposing to rezone and subdivide his five (5) acre parcel is that the City is extending sewer and water up Wilderness Run Road to Dodd Road and up to Saddle Horn Addition. Because of the assessments, Mr. Brandt wishes to subdivide his five (5) acre parcel into the twelve (12) lots. The first public hearing for the Saddle Horn Addition preliminary plat was November 28, 1978. Since that time, the hearing has been continued until the drainage could be worked out for the proposed lat. It is ml' understanding, talking with Bob Rosene and Tan Colbert, that plat. the drainage problem-has. been resolved. It is also my understanding that a drainage easement will be obtained fran Dunn & Curry and the runoff will be diverted to the north. If the preliminary plat is approved, it should be be subject to the following conditions: i _ Planner's Report/Phillip T. Brandt February 21, 1979 Page 2 i 1. The rezoning and final plat should not be finally approved by the City until the public utility project has been ordered in. 2. No building permits should be issued on any of the lots until utilties would be available to each lot. 3. Whisper Lane, in the future, is proposed to be a through street. However, since develognent to the north has not occurred, Whisper lane will be a temporary cul-de-sac and would require a 20 foot variance until Whisper lane becomes a through street. 4. On the proposed plat, Hac}amre Drive has only a 30 foot half right- of-way. There should be an additional 30 foot half right-of-ray dedicated fran the property owner frcxn the south. S.J Since the proposed Sunset Addition is not a part of the Lexington South PUD, par K: dedication has not been satisfied. The Staffs recamnendatiorigthat 0. ~0.gti donation be made for each newly created lot. 6. Grading, drainage and utility plans should be approved by the City Engineer prior to approval of the final plat. i I MEMO TO: PLANNING CCMMISSION DALE C. RUNKIE, CITY PLANNER FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: FEBRUARY 21, 1979 SUBJFX'T: PRELIAIN PLAT - SUNSET ADDITION (NW-44, OF SECTION 25) The Fngineering Division of the Public works Department offer the following ccmnents for consideration in review of the above referenced preliminary plat: UTILITIES Sanitary sewer and water will be provided during the 1979 construction season under Project #241 to the Saddle Horn Addition, immediately east to and adjacent to this proposed plat. Extensions of this proposed plat to service Sunset Addition itself will have to be at the specific written request of the developer. DRAINAGE The existing drainage of this land splits in the middle and drains to the north and to the south. Because no storm sewer system has been proposed or will be provided to service this plat, it is the developers responsibility to handle any excess runoff generated frcan this plat in a positive manner. 3 The drainage for the south half of this plat is proposed and will be required to be handled in a temporary holding pond to be constructed on Lot 1, Block 1. A berm of sufficent height and width as determined by the City Engineer will be required along the west property line of Lot 1, Block 1, to insure that all excessive drainage generated from this plat will be retained on site until a positive storm sewer system is made available. Drainage for the north half of this plat will drain to the north and then east across the north property line to the existing drainage swale on the existing property to the north of this proposed plat. Drainage easement or letter of understanding granting permission for this excessive runoff to run across this property to the north must be obtained by the developer prior to final plat approval. STREETS It should be required that Hackmore Drive be improved to the west proper-ty line of the proposed Sunset Addition. Whisper lane will be improved with a temporary cul-de-sac at the north end providing for continuation of the street i when the properties to the north eventually develop. It will be the responsibility of the developer to petition for the streets should he want it to be installed under City improvement project. Memo/Planning Commission February 21, 1979 Page 2 EASEma\7rS/R. o . w. Tb insure proper access to this proposed plat with a standard 32 foot- residential 5 ton street, a 60 foot street right-of-way is required for the extension of Hacktmre Drive. The northerly 30 foot half right- of-way will be dedicated as part of this plat. Whether the City or the developer is required to obtain the southerly 30 foot half right-of-way it is reccurended that this must be acquired prior to final plat approval. In addition to the common 5 and 10 foot drainage and utility easement adjacent to the lot lines, a 15 foot drainage and utility easement will be required adjacent to the north lot line of Lot 6, Block 2, for proposed future storm sewer extension. And a 30 foot drainage and utility easement will be required to be centered over ccnmon lot line of lota 3 and 4, Block 1, for proposed future storm sewer and/or drainage swale construction. I will be available to answer any further comments or questions at the meeting of February 27, 1979. Respectf y submitted, Thomas A. Colbert, P.E.

A 15 acre neighborhood park has been designated to be located in part on the Braun property (E2 of the NW;, Section 33) and in part on the R & D Services property (WZ of the NE4). This the Park Committee at the February 8, location was reviewed by 1979 meeting. The planned all purpose trail link from the High Line Trail to Holland Jensen Park transects Section 33 and impacts the subject property. This route was also approved by the Park Committee at the February 8, 1979 meeting. See attached map. i Previous Action s~ The Park Committee recommended that staff pursue the dedication of two trail easements; one located along the north line of Lots 9-12 for the all purpose trail, (width to be determined) and one located between Lots 66 and 67 for a walkway to Holland Jensen Park with the park dedication to be satisfied by a cash donation.' In addition the dedication of Outlot A to the City for future transfer to Dakota County has been discussed. Park Director's Comments It is suggested that park dedication be accomplished as follows: 1. The developer shall provide the City with a 30 foot easement for trail purposes south of the north line of R2 lots 9,10,11 & 12. An easement is recommended at this time since the trail link has not been totally finalized. An outlot could be requested prior to final plat approval if the trail location is firmly established r through this section and to the north at that time. Park Dept. Report Page Two 2. The developer shall construct an 8 foot wide asphalt pathway, to City specifications, between Lots 66 and 67 at the time of road construction and will grant an easement to the City for the pathway plus one additional foot on either side when the pathway has been constructed and accepted by the City. The development bond should include escrowed funds to guarantee this construction and dedication. 3. Outlot A should not be accepted by the City for park dedication. but should be dedicated directly to Dakota County or platted into lots. See attached memo dated 2-26-79. 4. The park dedication should be satisfied by cash per lot. Additional Comments i t The developer has been notified of the City's sidewalk require- ment and has agreed to construct an 8 foot asphalt pathway on the east side of Johnny Cake Ridge Road within the road right- of-way. Dakota County plans to construct a 10 foot asphalt pathway on the west side of Johnny Cake Road to the zoo and will also construct a pathway from the subject property south -along the park border. The county would prefer a 10 foot width or could conform to what the City requires of the developers. The Park Committee may wish to recommend that the pathway adjacent to this development be constructed to the ten foot width because of the potential heavy use from zoo traffic. Current figures indicate that a 10 foot asphalt pathway costs only 6% more than the 8 foot width. /Of / / aK+ m V3 t itA ZA UTILITY S`1'AYFS POW F7 L r- ~Cl r I r ~ t ~ ~,~J ` • ~ rya R 32 a, rso po~6~ ?aM `h o ISP TATo T~ a g, EA"AgAt o SS , _ - J J Jam? ► ' ;.f'~"'»~ •t ~ •~,~•1~.,,`^~ ) J •J//J~~ 1 .)~~J ~ vir..) ` + . _ .f .

MEMO TO: CITY STAFF COIBERT, RUN=, VOSS AND ROSENE FROM: PARK DIRECTOR SCH!N= DATE: FEBRUARY 26, 1979 SUBJECT : OUTLC T A - BRITTANY MANOR It appears that there could be scene problems associated with the suggestion that the City of Eagan take dedication of Outlot A in the Brittany Plat and then in turn donate it to the County as an addition to Holland-Jensen Park. The County Park Director indicates that he has no real concern about whether this outlot is added to the County Park. Acceptance of the outlot would require formal action by the County Board who could easily raise questions about what value this would have to the County. This would be difficult to answer since the County is not concerned about controlling the run-off into this particular pond. According to the CcmPr&,ensive Sewer Plan, if I read it correctly, this f pond is LP-3 and has a high water level of 899 and a normal water level of 887. Sketching these lines on the topo map shows me there would be fairly steep area approximately 200 feet wide between the normal water line and the property line. If the County does not accept the outlot, this area would become a maintenance responsibility for the City. It is my understanding that we are attempting to avoid dedication of land and water for parading purposes and instead are requiring ponding easements to specific water elevations. In veiw of the above, I recomTend that the City not accept this dedication but rather that the developer either plat the pcnding area as part of the adjacent lots or contact the County directly regarding its possible addition to Holland-Jensen Park. Please let me know your thoughts on this matter. . In addition, the developer should be made aware of the City sidewalk policy. A sidewalk or trail should be constructed within the road right-of-way. In the past, sidewalks have been required only in conjunction with road construction. However, the sidewalk policy is part of the subdivision ordinance. The right-of-way was benched in when the road was constructed. Dakota County plans to construct a ten foot asphalt bike path on the east side of Johnny Cake Ridge Road from Eagan's south bonder to the north side of Holland-Jensen Park just south of this plat. If Eagan was to require an eight foot trail from Brittany, Dakota County would construct their trail eight feet wide to conform. (The County will be constructing a ten foot trail on the west side of Johnny Cake Ridge Read this summer.) :ITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: Rezoning & Preliminary Plat DATE OF HEARING: February 27, 1979 PETITIONER: William R. Dolan DATE OF PLANNING REPORT: February 21, 1979 LOCATION: East of Johnny Cake Ridge PREPARED BY: John S. Voss, Planning Consultant Road - 1/2 mile south of Cliff Road EXISTING ZONING: Agricultural PETITIONS Two (2) petitions have been submitted - - A rezoning petition for 71.3 acres from Agricultural to Residential (R-1) and Residential (R-2). - A preliminary plat in order to create 111 single family lots and 20 two-family lots. °LANNER'S COMMENTS 1. Land Use Plan: In both the "Eagan Land Use Plan" and the "Zoo Area Development Guide" this area is proposed for low density, mixed residential use, therefore, the proposed ; rezoning to R- l and R-2 appears to be consistent with these guide plans. j2. Design: The preliminary plat appears to be well-designed. It provides street*con- tinuity to the adjacent Beacon Hill plat to the north and provides for street access in the future, to the east along proposed Brittany Road. Most of the area is planned for large-lot single family development (20,600 s .ft. average) with with a 6.6 acre area proposed for ten (10) two-family structures (20 dwelling units) adjacent to Johnny Cake Ridge Road. The plat also provides for a 20' wide walkway easement to the south where this plat would border the Dakota County Park - Lebanon Hills. 3. Park Dedication: In a preliminary review, the Park Committee indicated that a cash donation wou d e required rather than land dedication because of the proximity to the Dakota County Park and plan for a neighborhood park in another location to the north to serve this neighborhood. The petitioner has indicated a willingness to dedicate Outlot "A" which is located at the southwest corner of the plat to the City which, in turn, could dedicate this outlot to the County Park. The outlot would provide for dedication of a portion of a ponding area and a slope which more naturally should exist as a part of the park area. The petitioner would not receive park dedication credit for dedication of this outlot. Also, the Park Committee is requesting the dedication of a 30'_widetrail easement along the north boundary of proposed lots 9, 10, 11 and 12 of-the-R-4 area (Brittany Court North). , .wr-...... ...r+,.Vl'" ,I.' -/r'" _ .R...... ~F'+' _._s. ..r:_...

COLBERT, DIREC'T'OR OF PUBLIC TAURKS Y 1 DATE: FEBRUARY 21, 1979 SUBJECT: PRELIMINAIY PLAT - BRITTANY MANOR (N' OF THE SW, OF SEC 11 33) The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department offers the following comments for consideration in the approval of the above referenced preliminary plat: F UTILITIES Sanitary sewer excessibility is provided by the existing 24 inch trunk sanitary sewer line located on the eastern end of this proposed plat and also through the proposed development and utility installation associated with Beacon Hill Plat northeast to and adjacent to this plat. These two systems are capable of handling the proposed flows generated by this plat. Water main will be provided through the previously mentioned Beacon Hill develognent. It is also proposed to be stubbed to the east from the cul-de-sac in the southeast corner and the proposed through street and also proposed to be stubbed to the north for future development along the proposed cul-de-sac on the northwest corner. Appropriate looping, hydrant placement, gate valve placements, etc., will be provided for during the final utility plan approval process. STREETS Because of the existing irregular terrain, the proposed street pattern appears to be the most feasible. Some minor variations are recommended though. The cul-de-sac in the northwest corner of this plat should be extended to the north with a temporary cul-de-sac for a proposed through street providing for a proper connection to the future development to the north. The proposed through street through the middle of this plat should be bowed to the east, sufficient distance to eliminate the proposed half cul-de-sac. After reviewing the preliminary street grades that were submitted, it is.recamended that the maxinum grade be established at 8% for any particular section of street. DRAINAGE All drainage from this p t is proposed to be handled on-site through a series of existing low land depr ssions. With the Dakota County Park immediately south and adjacent to this plat no drainage will be allowed to enter into Gerhardt Lake. An internal storm sewer system is proposed to direct surface drainage into these existing we and depressions. In reviewing the Environmental Assessment Worksheet ( +1), satisfactory erosion control measures have been proposed to prevent any excess siltation or erosion during the development of this plat. The overall drainage of this plat is consistant with the comprehensive storm water plan of the City. Menn/Planning Commission February 21, 1979 Page 2 FASII`g3V'L5/R.O. W. Sufficient right-of-way shall be dedicated to provide for a 50 foot half right-of-way from the center line alignment of Johnny Cake Ridge Road. The nominal 5 foot drainage and utility easement adjacent to all side and rear property lines and the 10 foot drainage and utility easement adjacent to all road right-of-way will be required as normal. Pdditional drainage and utility easements will be required once the final utility plan has been submtted and approved by the City. The drainage easement proposed on the plan dated 2/2/79 for the existing storm water basins is satisfactory as shown. A 25 foot all purpose trail easement must be dedicated through separate deed process over the westerly 500 feet adjacent to the north property line. I will be available to answer any further questions regarding any of this information at the February 27, 1979, Planning Commission meeting. Respectfully submitted, ~oamas A. Colbert, P.E.

No final decision made to be reviewed Spring 1979. Previous Action and Park Director's Comments Park dedication for this plat was satisfied in the past when the City accepted DeBoer Pond. However, a required trail connection to the pond was not provided at that time. In addition the trail connection which was required for Duckwood I has also not been provided to the City. Contact has been made with the developer and the easements are currently being prepared for the trail for Duckwood I and have been delivered to the City Attorney's office. Enclosed is the old drawing for the trail for the Duckwood II area for review by the Park Committee. Staff recommends the 30 foot width as previously agreed and the alignment of the trail in relation to the buildings should be carefully reviewed in the future when the final plan for Stage V is brought before the City for approval. 1 I i I 1 U I' ti+ I W IN ~ I ~ rU T N ri I a ` I N I } t rl i - 1 I k ` CA a r~ ' o r7 I r y x O U I u I (qi ~ ' W W Q . \ I O W L N G u' D m v' 1 n ~ p I C~ ` Z m ' yr ➢ I N ut ` (1 ~ I 0 0 1 I I ~ r' ~ 1 I I I • x i AGENDA REGULAR MEETING PARK COMMITTEE EAGAN, MINNESOTA CITY HALL MARCH 8, 1979 7:00 P.M. 1. 7:00 - Call to order, Pledge of Allegiance, approval of minutes of February 8, 1979 minutes, establish agenda.

Development Proposals Four development proposals are in order for consideration by the Park Committee as listed on the agenda. Please note Park Department report attached to each item for specific recommendations by staff. Both the Brittany and the Duckwood plats were acted on at the February 8, 1979 Park Committee meeting, however, additional information is now available which could warrant further action by the committee. IV. Park Department Business A. Administrative items 1. Fire Station #3 According to Public Works Director Tom Colbert, the recommended site for Fire Station #3 is the Electric Co-op Substation which should prove feasible barring any unfore- seen complication. 2. Park Committee meeting dates It has been recommended at a recent staff review, that the regular meetings of the Eagan Park Committee be scheduled for the first Thursday of each month in order to allow time for Park Committee input to be properly communicated to the Planning Commission,and!.City Council. In the past staff has not had adequate time to research and prepare reports in time to make the deadline for packet preparation. B. Recreation Programmer, Dorothy peterson, is requesting input from the committee regarding a field use policy for future tournaments at Northview Park. See enclosed recreation report for more information. V. Special Meetings A. The Trail Subcommittee may wish to schedule their next meeting. B. The committee may wish to establish other subcommittees at this time. C. An orientation session for the new Park Committee members could be scheduled. VI. Follow up on Development Proposals 1.

File No. 14402 Dear Ms. Schmidt: We have recently been commissioned by the County Board of Dakota County and Mr. Charles Lowry, Dakota County Park Director to prepare a complete and comprehensive design study for the future development of the Dakota County Park known as Holland-Jensen Park. The park is basically within the Eagan City Limits however the park is adjacent to the Cities of Apple Valley and Rosemount. It is therefore expected that the park development will be of in- terest to all three communities and also to the private developments within the area. It is felt that with proper planning and design this park area can be an asset to the affected communities. For this reason it is felt that your input is very important at this time since the overall design will gradually be realized and can benefit your com- munity. We would like your thoughts, ideas and desires as to what you and your com- munity would like to see in the park. This should indicate types of accivities$ facilities, location suggestions, means of coordination with your coemmunity de- velopments and any other pertinent information you might feel would b@ helpful in the study. We would also appreciate copies of your zoning and land use maps, park and trail location maps and major road layouts. If you have any other suggestions or questions on this matter, please feel free to send it to us or contact our office. We will appreciate your help and in- terest in this endeavor.

Instructors were two members of the Rosemount High School Figure Skating team. Classes were conducted on five consecutive Saturdays in January and February. Parents of the children were enthusiastic about the lessons and delighted with the progress their children made, moving from non skaters to work on spiral turns, the Bunny Hop, Shoot the Duck and other exercises in balance and sill. Parents were amazed by how much the children learned. Broomball for men and Couples Badminton These offerings were cancelled due to lack of registrations. Skating Rinks, Warming Houses The season began December 23 and ended on February 26. This 9 week season was the longest in recent years. Numbers of skaters were greatest at Rahn Park, the Well Site and Lexington Park. The fewest numbers of skaters were reported at Highview, Pilot Knob and Cedar Pond. Woodhaven and Carnelian seldom had large numbers of skaters but on the other hand, usually had some skaters present. A limited number of calls challenging the Park Department policy of closing warming houses when the wind chill is -300 or colder were received by the Park office. South St. Paul has a similar policy, however, no other area city closes their rinks during bitterly cold weather. The Park Department is in the process of surveying other communities regarding their policies for use of City fields for weekend softball tournaments. Dorothy Peterson would be happy to work with the Park Committee to establish policy for tournament use of Northview Park. Park Department Report March 1, 1979 Subject: Park Dedication Bosela preliminary plat w Location: East of Pilot Knob Road, North of Deerwood Drive i Neighborhood Study Results A preliminary neighborhood study for Section 22 indicates need for active park area. Patrick Eagan Park satisfies the passive park needs. The proposed expansion will provide six additional acres for active park use. In addition the City office center may allow for s me active facilities. A more detailed study as to specific pale locations in this neighborhood is needed. Previous Actions This plat was reviewed informally by the Park Committee at the February 8, 1979 meeting. See enclosed minutes. Park Director's Comments This proposal is for 44 townhouse units and one open space lot. Staff recommendation is for cash for each of the 44 units as the land is not located adjacent to either of the two public properties located within this neighborhood. Additional Comments I This application was denied at the February Planning Commission meeting but will appear before the City Council March 6, 1979 therefore a Park Committee recommendation is in order. r i i } i s i CITY OF EAGAN SUBJECT: Rezoning & Preliminary Plat DATE Of HEARING: February 27, 1979 PETITIONER: Paulette Bosela DATE OF PLANNING REPORT: February 21, 1979 LOCATION: East of Pilot Knob Road - PREPARED BY: John S. Voss, Planning Consultant l block north of Deerwood Or. EXISTING ZONING: Residential R-1 PETITIONS Two petitions have been submitted; - a petition for rezoning a 13.24 acre area from Residential R-1 to Residential Town- house R-3. - a preliminary plat in order to subdivide this same 13.24 acre area into 45 lots (44 townhouses plus one common open space lot.) PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 1. Land Use Guide: The "Eagan Land Use Guide Map" proposes mixed residential for this property o a density ranging from 3 to 6 units per acre. Therefore, the proposed rezoning and development appears to be generally consistent with the Land Use Plan. The adjacent properties, both north and south of the subject site, have been subdivided - Skovdale Additions - and developed with single family homes. It-is somewhat unusual to propose a townhouse development development between two single family subdivisions, however, if properly developed in terms of preserving much of the natural terrain and tree cover and with proper access, the townhouse development could fit well into the area. Much would depend upon the design and architecture. 2. Site Design: The site plan submitted by the petitioner appears to be well-designed and it respects the terrain features of the site. There are minor problems with certain details, namely; A. Section 52.06, Subd. 24b of the Zoning Ordinance requires a landscaped buffer where a townhouse development abuts a single family development. Along the very long expanse of driveway (north boundary of property) a landscaped buffer should be required. Landscaping is shown over a portion of this driveway (Scotch Pine) however, this should be more completely developed and a landscaped buffer should be provided along the driveway along the southwest corner of the property leading to Pilot Knob Road. B. The landscape treatment in general and preservation of natural features of the site is very good. However, the landscaping along the entrances to the units and around the individual units should be increased. C. There should be assurance that a second access (public street from the east) will r 'CITY OF EAGAN Paulette Bosela February 21, 1979 be provided in the reasonably near future to insure that this development will not be served only by an access directly to Pilot Knob Road. This would leave 44 units on a very long, private cul-de-sac. D. It would be desirable to have this site plan drawn to a scale of 1'= 100' with more dimensions so that it could be more easily interpreted. 3. Preliminary Plat The petitioner has not submitted a preliminary plat which totally satisfies the minimum requirements of Eagan's Subdivision Ordinance #10. Much of the information required on the preliminary plat is contained on the "Plot Plan" submitted with the petition, however, a separate document titled "Preliminary Plat" detailing dimensions, proposed grades, proposed utility plans and similar information, as required, should be submitted before final action is taken on a preliminary plat. This was communica- ted to the petitioner at the staff meeting and still the City only has a "Plot Plan" drawn on an existing contour nap and a landscape plan. 4. If approval is given to a preliminary plat it should be subject to the following; A. All of the engineering information normally required for a preliminary plat under Ordinance #10 shall be required and approved by the Director of Public Works before a preliminary plat is approved by the City Ccuncil. B. Park dedication shall be satisfied as recommended by the Park Committee and approved by the City Council. C. The City shall have reasonable assurance that a second access (from the east) can be provided to the property within the near future before any building permits are issued. D. A landscape bond in the amount of $1,000 shall be required to be submitted with the initial application for building permits to insure compliance with the land- scape plan. E. Drainage and utility easements shall be granted to the City as required by the Director of Public Works. F. Site development shall be in accordance with the comments made in the Engineer- ing report and concrete curbs as required by the Zoning Ordinance shall be re- quired along the perimeter of all parking areas. G. The preliminary plat shall be approved by the Dakota County Plat Committee before final action is taken by the City and this shall include dedication of 75' for 112 right-of-way along Pilot Knob Road (County Road #31) and an additional 50' setback for any buildings from the future right-of-way for Pilot Knob Road and the driveway access to Pilot Knob shall be approved by Dakota Co. H. A landscaped buffer shall be provided along the boundaries where parking areas or driveways are adjacent to single family residential development. Said land- scaped buffer shall be approved by the City Planner. MEMO TO: PLANNING CCMIMISSION DALE C. RUNKL E , CITY PIWVER FROM: THONIA.S A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: FEBRUARY 21, 1979 SUBJECT : PRELIMINARY PLAT - PA TLE'I'rE BOSELA (SWa OF THE NW4 OF SECTION 22) Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has reviewed the above referenced preliminary plat and offer the following suggestions for consideration by the Planning Ccurnission and City Council: UTILITIES Water main availability is provided by the 12 inch trunk water main located on the west side of Pilot Knob Read. The internal 6 inch water main lateral will be looped and eventually connected to the future extension of water main when the 80 acre Orr property is developed immediately east of and adjacent to this proposed plat. Sanitary sewer service will be provided by future extension of an 18 inch trunk sanitary sewer main along the east boundaries of this proposed plat. Due to the elevation of this area, it will require the installation of a lift station as part of this trunk sanitary sewer extension. Before final plat is approved, it should be required that this development petition for the initiation of the trunk sanitary sewer extension project. DRAINAGE An internal storm sewer system with intermittent catch basins will be provided to positively handle the street drainage. Natural on-site drainage will then be directed to the existing natural drainage basin located in the center of this plat. It is requested that this detention/ retention pond be designed to handle a.100 year storm with a minim= 12 inch storm sewer outlet extending to the existing drainage basin in the property immediately adjacent tc and east of this plat. STREETS Access will be provided off of Pilot Knob Road with an eventual connection to future street pattern when the 80 acres to the east is developed. In the interim period, it will be required that a 60 foot radial cul-de-sac be dedicated with a subsequent 46 foot radial improved surface at the extreme eastern end of this plat until future road connection has been completed. At such time, this cul-de-sac area could be converted to an overflow parking lot facility or totally eliminated. It is recanmended that appropriate access permits will have to be obtained from Dakota County Highway Department for the access onto Pilot Knob Road. Because of the unavailability of sufficient land to dedicate the necessary 60 foot right-of-way for a public street dedication, it is my understanding that the developer intends to propose this as a private maintenance street system. As such, it must still be constructed to City Mem/planning Cc. rmssion February 21, 1979 Page 2 standards of the 32 foot wide, 7 ton design with concrete curb and gutter. The road adjacent to the north property line must have a 10 foot setback to provide for snow storage and a boulevard area from the property line. EASEI,=/R.O.W. Sufficient right-of-way must be dedicated to provide for a 75 foot half right-of-way adjacent to Pilot Knob Road. A 10 foot drainage and utility easement should be dedicated adjacent to all proposed future property lines. A 15 - 20 foot drainage and utility easement will be required to be centered over the proposed storm sewer outfall alignment for the internal storm sewer detention basin. Drainage and utility easement or blanket letter of agreement must be obtained by the property owner immediately adjacent to the east property line of this plat for the storm sewer outfall. I will be available to discuss these items in detail at the Planning Corrdssicn meeting should any Camdssioner have any further questions. Respectfully submitted, Z:z A.
