#15-3774/16-3867 October 6, 2016 Page 2 2. The Developer has also provided depictions of the proposed traffic control signage to be placed temporarily during construction — see Exhibit F, which also includes the traffic management conditions as established in the preliminary plat approval. This signage is expected to remain during both road and new home construction. 3. Disposition of the existing cul-de-sac has yet to be determined. City Consulting Engineer Bob Bean in his letter dated 9/30/16 indicates that if the existing cul-de-sac is removed, it would require extensive work to reconnect driveway, and an existing manhole would be outside the remaining pavement in boulevard lawn area. His recommendation is to not remove the excess pavement, leave the existing cul-de-sac as -is. We have asked the Developer to discuss this with the neighbors to determine whether they have a preference for the cul-de-sac to remain or be removed. Additional Items of Note - The City will accept the road and cul-de-sac extension as public upon completion of road construction, and maintain this as public right-of-way thereafter. Similarly, the stormwater facilities which will be constructed to serve runoff from the road and cul-de- sac are on public easements and will be maintained by the City. - Possible house locations as depicted on the preliminary plat and final plans are approved as located on the plans absent the need for average setback variances. The final plat approval resolution states that proposed construction of homes lakeward of those depicted sites may be subject to an average setback review process if staff determines there might be an impairment of the lake views of adjacent lots. The final plat resolution declares that the extension of Heritage Lane is hereby open as a public road. PLEASE REVIEW THE DRAFT RESOLUTION, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, AND COVENANTS. The Development Agreement and Declarations have undergone extensive review by the City Attorney and the Developer's attorney, and appear to address all topics required based on the Preliminary Plat Approval Resolution. Minor revisions to these documents may be made prior to filing. Staff Recommendation The final plat approval resolution is drafted such that filing of the plat and associated documents with Hennepin County will not occur until all specific requirements of approval have been completed. This includes the City having in hand the issued MCWD permits, Letter of Credit and escrow, signed Development Agreement, signed covenants, etc. Staff recommends that the Council adopt the attached resolution, subject to staff and City Attorney confirmation of satisfactory completion of all required final submittals and documents. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Motion to amend or adopt the attached resolution entitled A Resolution Approving the Plat of Tanager Estates - File #15-3774/16-3867.
