RE:
Preliminary Plat, Grading, Drainage, and Utility Plan
Center Oaks
SEHNo. A-ALBEV 9701.00
I have reviewed the above referenced drawings and have the following comments:
PreliminarY Plat
1. There are a number of lots that do not meet the 100-foot width at the setback line required
for the R-IA zoning. It is my understanding the proposed PUD zoning would be established
with the construction of a golf course. Within the PUD, a minimum lot width should be
established. As shown, there are a number of lot widths that are less than 90 feet, which is
. the minimum required in the R-l zone. Please verify the minimum lot widths with the City
Attorney and City Planner.
Preliminary Grading and Drainage Plan
1. Identify the positive overflow elevations for the detention ponds and low rear yard areas in
Blocks 2 and 6. Set walkout elevations a minimum of 2 feet above the positive overflow
elevation.
-
2. Drain tile lines will be required in all rear yard areas that do not back onto a detention pond
or wetland.
3. Grade the rear lot area of Lots 22 - 26, Block 7 to drain to the proposed detention pond.

4. House pads should be perpendicular to the street. It is my understanding that the "coving"
concept being utilized with this development allows for variable setbacks. However, there
are several building pads shown that are also skewed to the street. In my opinion, with the
proposed narrow lots, this will have the look of trying to "shove in" one more lot along that
particular street when there isn't room.
5. Submit drainage calculations used to size the detention ponds. for review. Because of
downstream drainage issues with County Ditch 9, the allowable discharge from the ponds
will be limited to half the predevelopment rates.
6. On Lot 6, Block 2, the pedestrian trail is shown 10 feet from the building pad. A wider
corridor should be created for the trail.
Preliminary Utility and Street Plan
1. The proposed street pavement section shall be according to the City Standard Detail and shall
be revised accordingly.
Wetland Mitigation Plan
1. Submit plan to the Wright Soil and Water Conservation District for review and approval.
If you have any questions please call me.
