Powers Ridge Apartment Homes
April 1 0, 2000
Page 10
SUBDIVISION
The subdivision request consists of subdividing 21.34 acres into one lot and one outlot. Lot 1
will contain apartment building A, which was approved by the City Council on March 13,2000.
Outlot A will be replatted in the future into 3 lots and will contain the remaining three phases of
the Power Ridge Development. The subdivision request is a relatively straightforward action.
GRADING & DRAINAGE
The project will involve grading the entire site to prepare building pads, street and parking lots,
and stormwater ponding areas. Temporary stormwater ponds are also proposed to manage site
runoff in general accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook (BMPH). As
a condition of preliminary plat approval, the berm in the southeasterly part of the site adjacent to
Lots 4 and 5, Lake Susan Hills West, was to be extended northwesterly 25 feet. The plans do not
reflect this condition of approval. Staffhas directed the applicant's engineer to go back and
increase the length of the berm. The final grading and utility construètion plans were returned to
the applicant's engineer for additional modifications. The corrected plans should be returned to
staff by Monday,
April 10, 2000.
UTILITIES
Municipal sewer and water will be extended from Lake Drive West from the utility stubouts
provided. Sewer and water service will be extended through Phase I and temporarily dead ended
at the south line of Lot 1. Sanitary sewer and water improvements are proposed to be installed in
general accordance with City Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. The developer's
engineer will need to provide on-site inspection to a level at which the engineer will be
comfortable in certifying to the City that the public improvement portion of the project has been
completed in general accordance with the City's plans and specifications.
The project involves installation of public improvements. The developer will be required to
enter into a PUD Agreement/Development Contract with the City and provide the City with a
financial guarantee in the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow to guarantee construction of
the public improvements, erosion control measures and site restoration. The construction plans
and development agreement are also being considered by the City Council for approval with the
final plat approval process.
Powers Ridge Apartment Homes
April 10, 2000
Page 11
STREETS
Phase I of the project will include extending an 8-foot wide bituminous trail along the south side
of Lake Drive West and constructing the easterly driveway entrance through the site. No
additional street improvements are proposed other than a pedestrian crossing at Lake Drive West.
Access to the site during and after construction shall be limited to the access point shown on the
plans. The boulevard along Lake Drive West shall be restored with sod. The developer shall be
responsible for any/all relocation of street lights, draintile and appurtenances along Lake Drive
West impacted by site construction.
EROSION CONTROL
Construction plans propose erosion control measures adjacent to all disturbed areas. Type I
erosion control which is just a silt fence is proposed around the perimeter of the construction
limits. Staff recommends that Type III (heavy duty) erosion control fence be installed adjacent to
all wetland bodies. A rock construction entrance will be employed off Lake Drive West.
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT
The site overall consists of 21.34 acres of which one acre is wetland, The developer is only final
platting 6,6 acres with Phase 1, therefore, the surface water management fees (SWMP) are only
applicable to the 6.6 acres (Lot 1). The remaining site will be charged when platted into lots.
The developer is providing water quality ponds for the entire site and therefore is receiving
credits against the SWMP fees for Phase I. Future platting of Outlot A will not be entitled to any
more water quality credits. The developer shall be responsible for a SWMP fee of $3,742.00
with this plat.
MISCELLANEOUS
Upon review of the construction plans and final plat, the final plat needs to be revised to
incorporate drainage and utility easements over the public portion of the sewer and water lines.
The utility width shall be a minimum of 20 feet wide over each public utility line depending on
the depth of the utility service. In addition, the final plat shall be revised to reflect the current
surrounding plat north of Lake Drive West.
LANDSCAPING AND TREE REMOVAL
Landscaping required for the proposed development is shown in the following table.

The applicant has submitted ground cover plan showing areas of seed or sod. Minimum
maintenance areas have been seeded with a ground cover that will not require mowing. These
areas are generally sloped and would be difficult to manicure.
PARK AND TRAIL DEDICATION FEES

the city and trails were to be developed by the applicant. Therefore, the PUD contract requires
no trail fees and Yo park fees. No parkland will be required with this proposal.
