2. All local public streets require dedication of 60 feet of right-of-way and shall be constructed to 29 feet back to back of width.
3. All streets will follow the Anoka County street name grid system. The street in the plat shall be Lever Street NE.

4. Plans and specifications must be approved by the City prior to start of construction.
5. Street and utility extensions are required to the edge of the plat for future connection to the adjacent parcels. Sanitary sewer and water services shall be installed to serve current homes and potential lots on the east side of existing Lever Court NE in the plat of Sunset Pond 2nd Addition. The City will reimburse the Developer the cost to install these services at the City's typical rates from the City's Assessment Policy. When the services are used, the City will collect these charges back with the connection permit. This reimbursement for service installation was used with the Gardenwood plat for the existing lots on the south side of 117th Avenue, east of Lexington Avenue. Details of the reimbursement amounts will be set forth in the Development Contract.
6. Standard utility and drainage easements must be dedicated along all lot lines and over areas of delineated wetlands, wetland mitigation, infiltration trenches, drainage swales, and storm water management ponds.

An as-built grading plan will be required to show the location, depth, and types of fill for all affected lots in the plat. Required storm water detention basins shall not be over sized for sand excavation, so that additional areas of trees can be saved. Storm pipes shall not be routed through tree preservation areas.
