f MEMO FROM; David Drown, Assistant City Engineer Planning File No. 1526 Proposed Apartment Complex and Subdivision off Rice St. Behind Country Kitchen. (1) Proposal provides for the creation of three new parcels. In accor- dance with the city ordinance, this will require a plat. The draw- ings submitted are adequate for preliminary plat purposes, but final plat must be prepared by a registered land surveyor. (2) Plans call for relocation of a public sanitary sewer which exists on the site, together with construction of watermain across the site. In each case, construction work must be done to city standards, designed by a registered engineer, and inspected by a member of city staff. In lieu of this, the developer may petition the city to do utility work as a public project and assess the cost involved to the project. (3) Additional utility easements will be needed for the new public utilities, and old utility easements will need to be vacated. (4) Proposed landscaping - trees in particular - will be kept off utility easements, (5) Joint driveway and access easements between all parcels will need to be prepared koi. Site plan includes filling activity on State right-of-way. Applicant will have to secure approval from the state to do this work. (7) Site plan calls for 1011 driveway grades leading up to the Country Kit- chen entrpnce off Rice St. A 10% grade is maximum allowable, and we strongly suggest the site designer work to reduce these grades as such as possible. Providing a heating element in the driveway approach to the underground garages could make that steep grade acceptable. (8) Additional right-of-way to 49.5 feet is required on Rice Street. Be- cause this is a plat, and the plat will incluae the Country Kitchen site, dedication along that parcel is required, as well. (9) Sidewalk is required along Rice Street per the ordinance, but not across the already developed Country Kitchen parcel. (10) Drainage plans are incomplete, and due to the steeply sloping site, erosion protection will be important. Drainage plans should be subject to staff review. (11) If the development is approved, it is the public works recommendation that the access easement leading west of the parcel to Marion Street to be vacated.
