. . . Memo to Planning Commission Planning Case #02-25: Preliminary Plat and Master Plan PUD Page 6 of 12 · Reconstructing "Cummings Park Drive" at Guidant's expense in accordance with plans and specifications approved by the City Engineer. The City currently has standards for street reeonstruction. After an evaluation of the private access drive by the City Engineer, it was determined that the pavement eondition index (PCl) was within the threshold for street reeonstruction. As such, prior to dedicating the street to the City, it will be neeesSWY for it to.pe reconstructed in conformance with plans and specifieations approved by the City Engineer. Based on discussions with Guidant, they areamen<lcble to this. To ensure that the above is appropriately accounted for and implemented, staff would also recommend incorporating a condition requiring the exeeution of a development agreement for developer installed pnblie improvements. Finally, it will also be necessary for Guidant to provide a perpetual aCcess easement for the Xcel Energy Substation. Xcel currently accesses the property from Fernwood on the south via an nnimproved access drive. Xcel also has lot frontage on County Road F. This agreement would essentially allow them to maintain their existing acc.ess. 9. Park Deification, Since the properties were never previously platted and the Preliminary Plat calls for the creation of 3 new parcels, park dedication is required. A cond.ition is included in the recommendation requiring Guidant to satisfy the park dedicat.ion requirement as approved by the City Council.
