Memo to the Mayor and City CouncilfP 97-1 April 21, 1997 Wetlands Page 2 There are 10 wetlands that impact this development. Six are located in the north and northeast portion of the plat. They impact the layout of the road as well as the configuration of the lot lines. The street has to be laid out so that it avoids the wetlands whenever possible and the lots have to be configured to allow an area for the house, primary and secondary septic locations, and wells while maintaining the required setbacks from the wetlands. There is an area near the intersection of the proposed road and Pascal Street were the proposed road will encroach into a wetland; there is another area in front of lot 4 on the eastern part of the plat that may also encroach into a wetland. Wetland mitigation plans will have to be submitted and approved if any development infringes into any wetland. Approval of this plat will be conditioned upon receiving appropriate wetland permits from the city and other agencies. County Ditches There are 2 county ditches that are located on the parcel. Since the layout of the lots, placement of houses, septic systems and wells are affected by the ditches, the applicant will have to provide accurate locations of these ditches. The applicant will also have to provide drainage and utility easements over the ditches. The plat will be reviewed by the County Ditch Inspector to ensure that the location of the ditches are shown accurately on the plat. Minimum Lot Size The minimum lot size in the Rla district is 2.5 acres with a minimum lot width of 160 feet. The 14 lots range in size from 2.5 acres to 3.1 acres. All of the lots comply with the minimum lot size and width. Streets The proposed road will intersect with Pascal Street in the northwest corner of the site. The applicant will have to improve Pascal Street to city standards so that it can be used to provide access to the site The proposed road will be constructed to city standards which includes bituminous surface and curbs. The street is proposed to loop through the site and extend to the western boundary of the plat. The applicant will have to provide additional information that shows that the road will be able to be extended on to the adjacent property from the proposed location. From looking at air photos and the wetland map of the city, it appears that there may be a wetland in the area in which the applicant is proposing to extend s:\planning\scott\p97 lcc.doc
