REVIEW OF PRELIMINARY & PINAL PLAT: 5.5 The proposed plat seeks to create 17 town home lots (Lots 1 17, Block 1, Applewood Pointe of Arona 3rd Addition) and 1 common area lot (Lot l8, Block 1, Applewood Pointe of Arona 3rd Addition), that replace the cunent Outlot B. Staff has reviewed this configuration of the town home lots and the common lot and concludes that the design and configuration it is acceptable and consistent with the previously approved town home lots. However, there are a few items that will need to be addressed on the Final Plat and/or included as a separate document, prior to City signatures and recording at Ramsey County. 5.6 Specifically, all subdivision plats require a 10 foot wide minimum utility and drainage easement around the periphery of the lot boundary where no existing easements have been established. In the case of the proposed plat, Lot 18 has been identified as being a utility and drainage easement, but will only be 7 feet wide adjacent to Lots 1, 2, and a portion of Lot 3 in the northern most section of the lot, which lies adjacent to the Arona- T enace intersection. Lot l8 will also be the "Common Area" of the home owners association. 5.7 The City cunently has a force main that pumps water from the Applewood Pond to an existing storm pipe west of the Arona site. The preliminary and final plat do not acknowledge this lO foot wide easement. The Final Plat must include the exact location of the City's utility and drainage easement. 5.8 The previously approved Planned Unit Development Agreement for the Arona development required the creation of an easement for the trail. To the City's knowledge this trail easement has not been created where the trail was built nor was it recorded with Ramsey County. Prior to placing City signatures on the recordable version of the Final Plat, United Propertied will have to submit the trail easement to the Public Works Department for review, approval, and recording with the plat. 5.9 A 10 foot wide utility and drainage easement must be created over the water line that will be extended from the north property line south to an area adjacent to Lot 10, Block l, Applewood Pointe of Arona 3 rd Addition. REVIEW OF EASEMENT VACATION: 5.l0 The original plat of Applewood Pointe of Arona dedicated a utility and drainage easement over all of Lot 19. The proposal, which includes the southern 19 feet of Lot 19, would need to be vacated in order to allow the town home lot to be created and a structure to be constructed in that area.
