Page 2 Mike Falk September 5, 1996 4. When Acorn Road was reconstructed as part of the 1995 PMP projects, residents, including Mr. Mueller, expressed a great deal of concern regarding trees. Many neighbors expressed an interest in maintaining a rustic appearance in the neighborhood. As a result, a great deal of effort was made to preserve existing trees. Also, an intensive landscaping plan was developed by the City to enhance the neighborhood. The proposed development would occur on a parcel ofland that is heavily wooded. Many of the trees will need to be removed in order to perform the grading that is proposed. As requested, the applicant has provided an inventory of trees that exist on the site. The Commission and Council should consider requiring a landscaping plan that will keep the development consistent with the remainder of the lots in the area and, preferably, preserve as many of the existing mature trees as possible. 5, The proposed plat includes two parcels and a portion of a third parcel. The portion is part of a lot with PIN 08-29-23-44-0001. This lot will require a division of platted lot or the entire lot will need to be included as part of the plat. The owner(s) of the lot must sign the new plat if the entire lot is to be included. 6. The existing pond at the southwest comer of the plat along with the proposed new pond in the northwest corner of the plat should each be within an outlot or easement over the entire pond dedicated to the City ofRoseville. The outlot should cover all property within the 100-year flood plain of each pond. This may create some difficulty for Lot 1, since the proposed pond is included as part of Lot 1, 7, The utility plan shows existing 6-inch water and 8-inch sewer stub-outs. The locations shown do not match with the locations shown on the City's as-builts. The City's as-builts show the stubs located approximately 35 feet south of where they are shown on the plans. An attempt should be made to align Acorn Lane with the existing sub-outs. If this is not possible, the utilities will need to be realigned within the right-of-way and easements provided in the plat. 8. A developer's contract will be required to install the public improvements. Plans and specifications must be approved by the City ofRoseville as part of the developer's contract. In addition, a surety in the amount of 1 ~ times the estimated cost of the construction work will be required. The City prefers the improvements to be constructed by the City rather than the developer. 9. The proposed center island may not include any trees or other large objects which would impede the movement of emergency vehicles across it. Also, no utility boxes are allowed within the landscaped island. 10. Street lights will be required at both the intersection of Acorn Road and Acorn Lane and also at the eastern end of the cul-de-sac. The cost of these items is the responsibility of the applicant.
