Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 21, 2011 Page 20 written Comment received to-date by staff(Attachment E); and DRAFT Planning Commission Meeting Minutes dated March 2, 2011 (Attachment G). Mr. Trudgeon pointed out corrections to the Drainage Plan as part of conditions of approval; and noted that Pulte Homes would need to enter into a Public Improve- ments Contract with the City for construction of roads and public utilities in con- junction with the Final Plat coming forward; and other conditions as detailed in the RCA. Staff recommended approval of the PRELIMINARY PLAT of the property in the northwest corner of Lexington Avenue and County Road C-2, based on the com- ments and findings of Sections 4-6 and the conditions of Section 7 of the RCA dated March 21, 2011. At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Trudgeon reviewed the next steps in the process as the applicant prepares the Final Plat to be recorded with Ramsey County; their development and submission of final grading and drainage plans, and final street plans, receipt of the necessary watershed district permits, staff review of each component submitted during the process; and negotiation by staff of a Public Im- provement Contract between the developer and City for City Council approval, with each document recorded prior to construction start, anticipating a minimum of six (6) weeks to two or three (2-3) months before returning to the City Council for action. Discussion among Councilmembers and staff included Attachment C pathway connections, with Ms. Bloom confirming a continuous pathway along County Road C-2, crossing the new Fernwood Street at a width of eight feet (8'); confir- mation of drainage requirements on-site and mitigation requirements; perfor- mance requirements of the City of Roseville and the Rice Creek Watershed Dis- trict to maintain water quality and remove phosphorus; eventual drainage into the wetland across Lexington rather than into Lake Josephine through use of a diver- sion pipe installed by the City with EPA grant funds in 1976; warranty periods to ensure compliance and functionality of infrastructure in the development; delay in installing the bituminous wear coat until all work is confirmed and tested; and easement signage to educate homeowners related to overall stormwater manage- ment. Further discussion included the timing of the traffic study and trends for a.m./p.m. peak traffic with little change in those trends based on summer traffic accessing Lake Josephine; commendation to staff for the environmental work on this plat and for application of the Tree Preservation Plan; and apparent gaps in the berm for the private property with the drainage easement.
