8. <br />9. <br />All 7 lotc will be served via a private road to be constructed by the Developer in <br />approximately the same location as the existing driveway. Because the private road <br />will also sei*ve the adjacent Lot 1, Block 1, Kallestad Acres, the total number of <br />homes to be served by the driveway is 8, for which City Code would normally require <br />a minimum paved road width of 28*. However, in order minimize the impact on <br />existing trees and vegetation within the roadway area between the property and Brown <br />Road, and to maximize retention of existing vegetative screening, it would be <br />appropriate to allow a reduced width to 24' in this area where on-street parking and <br />driveway approaches will likely be minimal. The private road will be subject to <br />homeowner association ownership and maintenance, and subject to an underlying Road. <br />Diainage and Utility Easement to be granted to the City. The private road as <br />proposed docs not meet City standards for horizontal curve radius for a 30 mph <br />roadway. However, the approximately 80' horizontal curve radius proposed is <br />acceptable because this is not a tlvough road, the curve is near the cul-de-sac, and <br />the curve will have a traffic calming effect as vehicles approach the homesites. <br />Due to the proximity to Long Lake Creek and the steep slopes surrounding the <br />portion of the Property to be developed, it is critical that as much stormwater and <br />snowmelt runoff from the development as is feasible be discharged to the stormwater <br />quality pond to be located w'ithin proposed Lot 7. This can be accomplished by use <br />of curb and gutter and stomi sewers to collect road runoff; by grading dn\ ew ays to <br />drain toward the road storm sew-cr system; by finish grading individual yard areas to <br />drain wherever possible toward the road storm sew cr system; and by establishing roof <br />gutter systems to discharge as much roof runoff as possible to the road stonn sewer <br />system. <br />Tlie City has no current plans for trails or parks that specifically require dedication of <br />land from this property. Because the southerly part of the property abuts the Luce Line <br />Trail, a private walking path access to the Luce Line over the area proposed to <br />be preserved as an outlet, would provide an appropriate pnvate amenity for <br />homeowners within the development. Because dedication of land for park purposes <br />is not required at this location, a Park Dedication Fee in lieu of land per City <br />Ordinance would be appropriate. <br />Page 3 of 13
