AGENDA REPORT
PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR
JUNE 19, 1984
1. Approval of minutes June 5, 1984
2. Dakota County Estates Second Addition Preliminary Plat.
The enclosed copy of the preliminary plat includes all suggestions made
by the staff during preliminary discussions with the exception of a stub
street which would provide future access to the east. The project engineer
decided to omit this connection since the east property line is rather
close to the flood plain. Staff is of the opinion that the connection
should be included even if the property is not developable since permanent
open space is of little value if access to it is either difficult or im-
possible. The developer has agreed that Lot 21, Block 2 will be converted
to a stub street which will provide whatever access is necessary to the
land area immediately to the east. There will be 166 lots in the plat.
The park dedication is as requested by the City Park Board and the developer
will contribute cash for whatever portion of the open space requirement has
not been met by this land area. The City Engineer is reviewing engineering
plans submitted by the Developer and the Dakota County Soil and Water Con-
servation District has indicated that, like the original plat, this site
is troubled by an extremely high water table. However, the housing already
built in the original plat has had no problem with wet basements even though
surface water has been excessive in the recent past.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the preliminary plat subject to the incorporation
of advisory comments from the City Engineer and recommend that the City
Council schedule a public hearing during the month of July.
