• as a through street. As a condition of this plat, Troy Street will be required to be extended through the Fairhaven Hills plat at the expense of the developers. Near the proposed 199th Avenue/Zebulon Street intersection the road alignment follows the current location of Mr. Mastley's driveway. The proposed alignment of 199th Avenue is only 20' from an existing house located in the exception along the western boundary of the plat, causing the house to become non-conforming in terms of front yard setback. Staff is proposing that 199th Avenue be shifted to the north approximately 15 feet so that the existing home in this location meets the required 35 foot front yard setback. This will require additional filling of wetlands which will need to be mitigated. Proposed streets are extended to the boundaries of the plat to provide future access to adjacent vacant properties. Attachment A shows how these roads can tie in with surrounding vacant property to provide a logical extension for future development. COUNTY DITCHES • The preliminary plat shows the location of several branches of County Ditch 28 which run through this property. The ditch is an underground tiled drainage system and is protected with a 60 foot wide easement area. A permit will be required from the County to cross the ditch for road or driveways. The developers have indicated that the ditch system is in need of repair to fix several broken tile lines. County approval is required prior to any maintenance on the County ditch system. Another issue related to the County Ditch System is an existing detached garage which is currently located within the ditch easement area on Lot 6, Block 4. Discussion should take place with the County related to the location of the existing detached garage. Possible options to address this issue include: 1. Remove or relocate the shed outside of the existing easement area or; 2. Stipulate to the property owner that if maintenance work needs to be accomplished in the county ditch in that particular location, the shed will need to be removed by the owner at their expense. Again, this issue should be taken up with the County. The developers will also have to work with the County Auditors office regarding a redistribution of the ditch assessment onto the individual lots of the plat. All the County ditch issues will need to be resolved prior to • recording the plat.
