�i <br /> City of Memorandum <br /> Elk -�-� <br /> River <br /> To: Planning Department <br /> From: Kristin Mroz,Environmental Technician <br /> Date: July 9,2014 <br /> Subject: Site Plan Review Comments <br /> At the Site Plan Review on July 8,2014,we discussed wetland easements for a number of <br /> proposals. <br /> According to 30-418, <br /> (2) Easements shall be provided along each side of the centerline of any watercourse or <br /> drainage channel,whether or not shown in the comprehensive development plan,to a width <br /> sufficient to provide proper maintenance and for stormwater runoff for the designed storm <br /> event determined by the city,but such easements shall not be less than 20 feet in width. <br /> The ponds on Khever Lake Fields 5`h Addition are not designated wetland so I agree that the <br /> easement should at least stay as it was platted for the townhomes (at least 20 feet.) <br /> I propose a minimum of 45-foot drainage easement around all wetlands at Natures Edge <br /> Business Center 2"d addition, as per our City Code 30-1852 that requires a 25-foot Wetland <br /> Buffer Strip and an extra 20-foot Wetland Buffer strip setback which does not allow <br /> structures,principal or accessory. Creating the 45-foot easement will let potential developers <br /> plan accordingly. <br /> The West Oaks 6`h Addition should also include a 45-foot drainage easement surrounding <br /> the wetland in between the planned townhomes and single family homes. The current <br /> easement does not include the minimum 20-foot easment and should be altered to include <br /> the 45-foot drainage easement per the wetland ordinance 30-1852. <br /> PO11AII I <br /> (;\losers\kmroz\Desktop\Site plan Reviee Comments 7-8-14doex NATURE <br />
