Drainage <br />The City Engineer's letter in Exhibit C notes an existing wetland on the new lot. He suggests <br />that area exists for a water quality pond. The MinnehiJia Creek Watershed District has indicated <br />via a telephone call that they will not require stormwater ponding for this subdivision. <br />Flowage and conservation easements will be required across the wetlands. Drainage and utility <br />easements are required along the internal and external lot lines. <br />Access and Driveways <br />The current driveway serves two properties. An easement exists for the property owner at 2160 <br />to use the driveway that serves 2140. The subdivision ordinance requires that a separate outlet <br />be platted to serve three lots. The outlet as platted did not include a cul-de-sac. The City <br />Engineer has recommended a cul-de-sac for emergency purposes. The proposal has been sent to <br />the Police Chief and Long Lake Fire Department for review and comment. <br />The location of a future possible cul-de-sac is limited by the shape of the lot, the wetland, and the <br />proposed so; ■ s..es for the new lot. The subdivision ordinance requires a cul-de-sac of 100 feet <br />in diameter, 50 feet radius. <br />The private road outlot will require the subdivider to provide a homeowner's association <br />agreement for the maintenance of the private road. <br />Park Dedication Fee <br />The Park Commission has recommended a park dedication fee in lieu of land. The new parcel is <br />being created out of Lot 1, Block 1 Phillips Woodland Terrace Second Addition. The lot was <br />platted in 1986 as part of a larger subdivision involving land in Orono and Medina. Records <br />indicate that S400 was paid for the park dedication fee for the entire subdivision at the time. The <br />propov d plat has been referred to the Hennepin County Assessor to determine the fair market <br />value cf the undeveloped parcel. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff finds that the proposed preliminar>' plat meets the zoning and subdivision ordinance with <br />the e.xception of the outlot not showing a cul-de-sac. The Planning Commission should discuss <br />the need fo* il-de-sac and em.ergency access. <br />Attachments. <br />k2430 Paul Phillips <br />Preliminary Plat <br />So\ ember 16. 1993 <br />page-2 <br />A <br />B <br />c <br />D <br />Application <br />Plat map <br />Engineer's letter <br />Woodland Terrace plat map <br />E <br />F <br />Proposed Preliminar>’ Plat <br />Septic Report
