MEMORANDUM
TO: Chris Leeseberg, Planner
FROM: Terry Maurer, Public Works Director ./'' U
DATE: February 12, 2008
SUBJECT: Portside Addition
File #226-193P
As requested, I have reviewed the proposed plat of Portside Addition located on Business
Center Drive just east of the County Government Center. Along with the proposed plat of
the subdivision, I also received a layout for the MetalCraft Machine and Engineering
building on Lot 1 of Portside Addition. Based on my review, I would offer the following
comments:
The site is approximately 18 acres and proposed to be divided into two lots. Lot 1 is the
larger lot at approximately 10 acres, with the second lot being just over 3 acres.
2. There is no additional right-of--way needed for Business Center Drive.
3. There currently is a temporary cul-de-sac for Naples Street from the Sandpiper Estates
2nd Addition that falls on Lot 2. There is no easement to allow this cul-de-sac to remain
at this location. At the time is was built, the property was all under the same ownership
and the concept was that Naples Street would extend through to Business Center Drive.
Obviously, that concept has changed as business traffic and residential traffic should not
be mixed. I conftttned with the Street Department that they will be able to maintain the
short section of Naples Street without a temporary cul-de-sac, since it is only two lots
long. The final plat of Portside Addition should provide access control such that there
will be no access from Portside Addition ever allowed to Naples Street.
4. The final plat shows a larger drainage and utility easement near the rear common corner
shared between Lots 1 and 2, while the site plan fox Lot 1 shows a drainage pond located
near Business Center Drive adjacent to the common lot line. The drainage area for these
two lots should be shared in common so there axe not two distinct ponding areas. A
drainage calculation needs to be provided so that the size of the ultimate pond can be
verified and then an appropriate drainage and utility easement needs to be placed on the
final plat.
5. An attempt should be made between the layouts of the two lots to combine at least one
driveway. If that is not possible due to the ponding location, adequate spacing for the
driveways along Business Center Drive should be adhered to.
6. The drainage from the ponding area shown on the MetalCraft site plan goes easterly
along the north line of Lot 2 in a ditch adjacent to Business Center Drive. It appears
that the intent is to use a pipe in the future when Lot 2 develops. Unless the
development of Lot 2 is imminent, the drainage area should not be allowed to flow
through a ditch. A pipe should be required along this alignment so that Business Center
Drive does not have a ditch constructed immediately adjacent to the sidewalk. Also,
since this is the outlet from a pond on a different lot, there should be an easement
provided for this alignment.
7. The MetalCraft site plan does not allow any space on the south lot line for berming and
minimal space for landscaping adjacent to the single family homes in Sandpiper Estates
2°d Addition. I would recommend that additional space be provided there to allow for
berming and landscaping to buffer the business use from the residential use. The same
would be true with the future development of Lot 2.
Sanitary sewer and water is available in Business Center Drive to service both of these
lots. Based on the development on the two lots, a decision will need to be made in the
future relative to extending water in and strategically placing hydrants around the
building site.
9. This property has previously been assessed for sanitary sewer, water and street
construction. Therefore, no additional street or utility assessments are anticipated with
the development of these two sites.
If you have any questions regarding any of these comments, please contact me.
