Report #78-253 page #2 discussed at th~ time of platting the lots on the south side of Innsbruck Drive. Such a road would permit access from the west to the property immediately south of Lots 7-12, Block 2. This alignment would also be consistent with the goals of the proposed Comprehensive Plan in that there could no longer be a need to access this property from Silver Lake Road. An alternative to extending 27th Avenue would be for the applicant to dedicate the southern portion of Lot 26, Block 2 for road purposes. Such a dedication should align itself with the future road on the south side of Innsbruck Drive that was considered and set aside at the time of platttng the property on the south side of the street. Staff strongly recommends that provisions for access to this neighboring property be made at this time. The location of the remaining streets generally are acceptable though it may be preferable to eliminate 29th Avenue and connect 32nd Avenue and l3~ Street which would eliminate the two dead end cul-de-sacs and would eliminate the additional intersection on Innsbruck Drive. It is proposed that portions Qf l3~ Street, 14th Street and 27th Avenue be acquired from adjacent property owners. Roads in similar locations were discussed by the City Council at an improvement hearing in 1974. There was near unanimous neighborhood opposition to these streets and the Council ultimately did not order their installation. As the proposed plat is dependent on these road locations staff feels that prior to any final plat being approved the applicant should petition and the Council should hold an improvement hearing to consider the installation of these roads. In this regard the applicant has submitted a petitiQn for the street improvements. Regarding drainage, the applicant has and is working with the Rice Creek watershed District in preparing a comprehensive stormwater management plan. It is recommended that such a plan be presented and be acceptable to the watershed District and City Engineer prior to any final approval of the plat. Also to be resolved is the disposition of the remaining portion of the private road that runs just south of the proposed 13th Street Court out to Silver Lake Road. It is recommended that this private road be vacated or otherwise disposed of 'prior to final approval of the plat.
