Mr. Steve Ach February 17, 1997 Page Two utility easements. It appears from records at City Hall that one part of Ditch 28 may cut through the north sections of Lots 1 and 2. This may affect the buildability of these two lots. 10. 11. The Preliminary Grading Plan shows sedimentation ponds. However, at this point in time, no detailed storm drainage calculations have been provided. It will be necessary for the Developer to submit storm drainage calculations. These calculations should show adequate sedimentation capacity and no net increase in the rate of runoff leaving the site. The drainage and utility easements around the perimeter of the lot should be expanded to 10 feet where the adjacent property has not already given a 5-foot easement. This is due to the fact that the surrounding property may stay unplatted for many years and a 5-foot easement is virtually unusable. The Developer has supplied a soils report indicating that conventional on-site septic systems should be buildable on this property. There is some question, however, regarding the location of the primary and secondary septic system locations. For instance, Lot 4 shows the primary on one side of a wetland with the secondary on the opposite side. It is not reasonable to believe that a homeowner would build around a large wetland in this case. We would suggest that the Preliminary Plat be revised to more accurately reflect the primary and secondary location, taking into account well locations where these will affect the septic system location. We have discussed with the Developer's engineer the need to show at the southwest coruer of the plat a little more topo on the property to the west to indicate that this is a workable location for a future extension of the road. They indicated that they will provide this information. Easements need to be provided on the Preliminary Plat, protecting all of the wetlands identified. 12. 13. The site is essentially completely wooded. The revised Grading Plan at the 50-scale should indicate the amount of trees to be removed so the road, storm drainage ponds, and house pads construction can proceed. It should be noted that this development will essentially be a long cul-de-sac until the 40 acres to the west develop. At that time, there will be an opportunity to connect this plat with the plat of Weatherwood. Until such time as the road is extended, there will need to be a temporary turnaround at the end of the road. This can be accomplished by providing temporary easements on Lots 5 and 9, which can be vacated in the future. 230/349-1413.feb
