Memo to the Mayor and City Council/P00-6 May 11, 2000 Page 4 jurisdictions. A funding mechanism for payment of this project will need to be determined. Trails Pedestrian trails are being proposed to provide access and connection to the gazebo on the separate 40-acre parcel. The trails are connected to 226th Avenue at three points: two on the south side and one from the extension piece to the north. One of the southerly connections is located in a 50 foot trail corridor between Lot 5, Block 1, and Lot 1, Block 2. As the area along the south side of the plat is seasonally wet, this trail is proposed to be a mown trail, with no pavement or chips. The path near the north property line is located on higher ground and could be either a limestone or woodchip trail. It is not clear if these trails would be open to the general public. There are no other public recreational facilities located in this area at this time to connect these trails to. If, in the future such facilities are developed, the trails may serve some public benefit. Grading and Drainage Terry Maurer, Howard R. Green, is reviewing the grading plan and his memo will be provided at the meeting. In general, however, minimal grading relating to the road is proposed. By maintaining a minimal grading area, the proposed tree loss is kept to a minimum. Some fill is proposed as part of the construction of the cul-de-sac. It is unclear as to whether this area is a wetland. If this is a designated wetland, approval to fill this area must be granted by the Technical Evaluation Panel. Six sedimentation ponds are proposed, four between homes and straddling lot lines, the fifth and sixth in Outlot B. These sedimentation ponds will treat stormwater runoff from the street. These are accessible to Public Works for maintenance purposes. There is very minimal stormwater pipe proposed in this project, most of the stormwater will flow over the surface of the road. Drainage and utility easements need to be granted along property lines, over sedimentation ponds, and over delineated wetlands. At the April 11, 2000 Planning Commission workshop, the applicant indicated that the house locations had been identified. The house locations were identified to be sensitive to the original topography and to minimize tree loss due to excessive grading. Typically, this type of development would not require a development plan due to the size of the lots. However, in order to implement the applicant's intent, some type of limited development plan or controls should be developed to ensure that the homes are built within the area identified by the applicant. Utilities The subdivision will be served by a community septic system and individual wells. Each home will have its own septic tank. The amount of septic flow will not trigger a MPC^ permit; staff will review and approve the septic design and issue a permit. The
