r Zoning File #1236 December 17, 1987 Page 2 of 3 Garden Lane and Highview Lane are platted unimproved public roads. The looped road “proposed road" along the west edge would meet public road criteria and would be constructed per the same standards of other defined public roads. Spur road from north would remain a private road. As Cook's letter recommends the proposed construction of Highview Lane between Garden Lane and Wildhurst Trail would be difficult because of the steep topography. The area is also deeply wooded and to construct roads with such deep cuts would require major removal of these trees. Cook suggests realignment to the north per attached Exhibit E. The current sketch plan includes land holdings of four owners. It my understanding that other adjacent land owners may also join in the formal subdivision application (re/iew Exhibits B & I). Note the Morgart property - this property provides the complete connection to Wildhurst Trail. It is staff's under standing that this property may also be included in the formal application. The Morgart property is not included in the M.U.S.A. District, and if included within the subdivision, would require rezoning and a Comprehensive Flan amendment. It is interesting to note that although considered rural the property has been assessed 2 sewer units??? Refer to Exhibit F, it does not make any planning sense to include the property in the rural zone to the north. Cook has also advised in his commentary, the need to upgrade specific sections of existing streets: 1. The intersection of Wildhurst Trail and County Road 19. 2. Tonkaview Lane from Wildhurst Trail to Garden Lane. 3. Wildhurst Trail from Forest Lake Landing to Highview Lane. The developer would be ask-d to share in the cost for certain improvements. As to the actual determination of the share or which of the above noted improvements would be considered, cannot be defined at this point in our review. As for sanitary sewer capacity, three of the four lift stations would appear to have adequate capacity. Lift Station #10 is to be upgraded as part of a comprehensive metro-sewer project within the area and is due for upgrading next year. Cook has stated that it would take one month to m xe a complete analysis of the sewer capacity and recommends that a trunk sewer charge De determined for the property. Storm sewer will be required in order to re-direct major portions of surface run-off from the proposed developed area to the northeast, away from the already defined drainage area to southeast (see Exhibit H, drainage plan). Future access to west via Highview Lane corridor must be dedicated and designated as 30* along north line of Lot 1 (see Exhibit B). This would fulfill earlier planning decisions in Trapp application to define future through corridor to County Road 19. At the time the connector road between Garden Lane and Wildhurst Trail is located on preliminary plat. Planning Commission may recommend an additional access corridor to the north.
