Re: Psyks 5th and 6th Additions
Preliminary Plat
Planning Commission Members:
Mr. Doug Psyk, the applicant, has submitted an application for
preliminary plat approval of a 19-1ot, single-family subdivision to
be named Psyke's Fifth Addition and an 18-1ot, single-family
subdivision to be named Psyk's Sixth Addition. It is our
understanding that preliminary plat approval is requested for both
the 5th and 6th Additions; however, only the 5th Addition can be
developed at this time. A release from MPCA for additional sewer
service will be required for the 6th Addition. Both the 5th and 6th
are submitted at this time to assure compatibility of street
grades, drainage, etc. for the two.
1. The property in question is zoned R-3, single and two-family
district. The following chart indicates the zoning requirements
and the proposed plats' conformance to the requirements:
Requirement

Min. lot size 12,500 12,500 to yes

co rn er 100 100 to 118 yes

2. The proposed preliminary plat indicates the required fi ve- (5)
foot drainage and utility easement along all lot lines. The plat
also provides a la-foot easement along the street lines.
Additional drainage easements are shown in areas subject to
storm water drainage and storage.
3. The walkway, or access to the wetland area, shall be over a
14-foot dedicated park land between Lot 1, Block 4 and Lot 1,
Block 5. This dedicated walkway coincides with the sanitary
sewer trunk easement.
4. The drainage system for the 5th Addition utilizes the existing
lowlands as detention ponds with outlets into the wetland areas.
storm sewer will be provided for the street and rear lot line
drainage system with eventual outlet into the wetland areas. As
the general terrain is relatively flat with very little relief
from high land to the wetlands, cross sections have been
provided with the drawings to assure each house pad will receive
proper drainage. The grading of the streets and sites wi 11 be
done under a city contract and supervision, to be assessed back
to the developer, to assure proper drainage of all critical
areas. Final construction plans may vary slightly from the
preliminary plans.
The drainage for the 6th Addition will be dependent upon a
drainage easement over the adjacent property. The natural
drainage direction from the 6th Addition is to the northeast
into the large 7-acre wetland area located on the Marx property.
A storm sewer easement or temporary drainage way easement will
be needed on this adjacent property if the 6th Addition is to be
developed.
5. The utilities, water and
under a city contract and
compatibility with the
expansion areas.
sani tary sewer, shall be installed
supervision to assure coordination and
existing system and planned future
6. street grades are at or greater than the minimum street grades
(0.5%) required by the ordinance. street construction will be
done under city contract and supervision and will be according
to the city standard for residential streets (36--foot width,
concrete curb and gutter, 12" gravel base and 3" bituminous
surfac ing) .
7. This subdivision is subject to the City's Parkland Dedication
requirements. As no parkland is shown on the preliminary plat, a
per-lot deposit for parkland will be required. This should be
clarified with the Park Board.

Based upon the above review, our office would recommend approval of
the proposed preliminary plat subdivision that would create 19
single-family lots and 18 future single-family contingent upon the
following:
1) Clarification of the parkland dedication requirement,
2) The developer enters into any required developer agreements,
3) Enter into Chapter 429 Improvement Agreements with the City
for all platting, site and street grading, utility and street
construction.
