PAXMA R© Park lands will be dedicated as they are properly graded and in the plats they are adjacent to. Presuming there is not another substantial economic shock, a new phase per year is anticipated, allowing use of the southerly park lands by 2020, with all new roads being completed by about 2021. Outlot D of River Park is across Highway 40 and is a small Cul de sac for 65' wide lots. Water and access is available, but sewer is preferred to be part of a larger lift station planned to serve the land to the east when the time is appropriate. It is relevant to plan those lands under similar ownership to manage project certainty and design for the known issues of ponding, public roads, etc. III. NATURAL RESOURCES A. Wetland Delineation confirmation Sambatek has field verified prior boundaries that were plotted previously. Areas in Phase one have concurrence from City regulators for a fill permit to be submitted as a separate action for the required road connection of Edison. Mitigation is provided for on site. Wetlands on Phase III lands between proposed Johnson Street and Ivanhoe Drive have been plotted similar to the previous master plan approvals, but will be reviewed in the spring of 2016. They were farmed as permitted over the last several years and will have a recertified boundary assigned by the City as part of a separate review. That boundary will only confirm the setbacks to wetland impacted the proposed lots to the north. That boundary does not affect buildability, only lot pad size. B. Soil and Groundwater The soils are free draining fantastic for home building, may have several zones capable of crushing on site for road base to minimize import trucking near existing home sites and will allow for infiltration per current goals of water resource planning. Groundwater recharge is enhanced from prior calculations, but is substantially similar to the previous master plan. Most of Phases one to four drain to the north, the balance to the south. C. Existing Trees Existing tree cover exists throughout the phase three lots of Johnson and Ivanhoe Drive. Back yard areas will be preserved for quality with trees in the road and front yards through home pads removed per City standards. Deadfall will be removed. Fill of about 5' over existing ground elevations is required on Johnson Street to provide proper drainage. This is not as significant a fill as was previously planned. While this stand is in decline, the new urban forest will complement in future size and add a projected 82 new trees at a minimum of 2 per new housing unit.
