<br />Memo to Planning Commission <br />Planning Case #02-25: Preliminary Plat and Master Plan PUD <br />Page 4 of12 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />4. Setbacks. All existing structure setbacks are maintained with the proposed <br />consolidation. <br /> <br />5. Easements. City subdivision regulations require easements at least twelve (12) feet wide <br />centered on lot lines for utilities and shall be dedicated to the City. Additionally, wetland <br />and drainage easements are also provided on the plat. However, it should be noted that <br />the City will not assume responsibility for maintenance of these areas. Rather, the <br />easement will allow access if it is ever necessary to enter these areas, All existing utility <br />easements that the City currently has will be maintained. <br /> <br />In conjunction with the plat, the applicant will also dedicate for public use those areas <br />that currently extend into existing right-of-way and streets. More specifically, the <br />proposed preliminary plat will dedicate to Ramsey County the portions of property that <br />currently extend into Hamline Avenue, County Road F, and Lexington Avenue. The <br />enclosed plat highlights easement areas to be dedicated. <br /> <br />Finally, in reviewing the survey that the applicant submitted, it came to staffs attention <br />that the current City trail off of Ham line Avenue running behind the houses off of Indian <br />Oaks Circle is currently outside ofthe easement area and on Guidant"s property. This is <br />located on the northwest portion of the site. To resolve this issue, staff is proposing a <br />trail easement be provided with the proposed preliminary plat. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />6. Grading, It is not anticipated that any grading will occur in conjunction with the plat <br />approval. Grading will be evaluated in conjunction with any future development of the <br />property. <br /> <br />7. Utilities. Since this is a consolidation of properties, no additional utility development <br />will occur on the property. Enhanced Dr expanded utilities on the property will be <br />evaluated in conjunction with any future development of the property. Existing utility <br />easements on the site are maintained. <br /> <br />. <br />
