Plan for the area to be known as South Park with the following eight (8) conditions: 1. A drainage plan should be prepared for this entire area. This plan should address the need for any additional storm sewers, retention ponds and so on. The developers should cooperate allowing adjacent property owners to the west address their drainage needs. 2. A phasing plan for the.General 6evel-opmeritPlan should be included. 3. A pedestrian walkway between 24th and 23 1/2 Street S. E. should be included and should be located adjacent to the 30' drainage easement. The remnant parcel of land between the school property and 23 1/2 Street should either be dedicated as ROW or conveyed to the school to provide access to the school property. 4. Proposed 22nd Street S. E. should end in a cul-de-sac and a 20 ft. wide walkway should be provided to the school property. This street dead -ends at the Pinewood School property and there doesn't seem to be any reason to extend it to the west property boundary. The walkway on the other hand, would provide the necessary pedestrian and. bike access. 5. The cul-de-sac on the east side of 21st Avenue S.E. should be replaced with a bulb street. It does not appear to be necessary to provide a connection to the east since this property is already developed with a single family dwelling. 3581 No 3582 RECORD OF OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL CITY OF ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA N9 35-82 Agenda Item E-13 6.
