City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for April 4, 2018 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2018\PC 18-001 - 3246 New Brighton Road - Preliminary & Final Plat, Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Variance, CUP\Memos_Reports_18-001 Page 6 of 17 Drainage Lots are required to be graded so as to provide drainage away from building locations and direct drainage down lot lines within drainage and utility easements. The proposed grading plan satisfies this requirement. A 10,000 gallon underground stormwater collection tank is also proposed to be located in the front yard area between Lot 2 and Lot 3. Piping would be used to direct rainwater runoff from the roofs of the four dwellings into the tank. Separate piping would be installed for the reuse of the collected rainwater for indoor non-potable uses for the four dwellings. There would also be piping installed to allow for the collected rainwater to drain to the proposed small pond. D. Park Dedication The Subdivision Code requires developers of subdivisions to dedicate to the public a reasonable percentage of the tract to be developed. Section 1130.08 Subd. 2 of the Subdivision Ordinance indicates that for a subdivision that results in new dwelling units of less than 2.5 units per acre, the applicant shall dedicate 10 percent of the buildable land area in the subdivision or pay a park development fee of $6,500 per residential unit. Ten percent of the development would be approximately 0.28 acres, but the site does not provide for a feasible public park area. As a recommended condition of approval, the developer would be required to pay a park development fee of $6,500 per unit, for a total fee of $26,000. The City Council will be asked to make a final determination of the park dedication requirement. E. Required Improvements All other required improvements, including sewer, water, utilities, and driveway connections to New Brighton Road will be constructed in accordance with the City’s Subdivision Code. The Subdivision Code requires that each lot be provided with a minimum of three trees to be placed in the front yard. Coniferous trees must be at least 6 feet in height and deciduous trees a diameter of 2.5 inches. The development plans show three maple or cherry trees would be planted in the front yard of each lot. 3. Chapter 13, Zoning Regulations Review Section 1320 – District Provisions (R-2 Single & Two Family Residential District) A.
