• SEPTIC SYSTEMS As mentioned earlier, each lot is proposed to have an individual private septic and well system. Staff is concerned that some of the proposed parcels may not be able to support the location of two septic systems as required by ordinance due to the numerous wetlands and county ditches on site. Staff is also concerned that some of the proposed lots may not be able to support any type of septic system. Therefore, staff is proposing that the developer indicate on the preliminary plat the location of two septic systems prior to the City Council review of the preliminary plat. Soil borings may also be required for the questionable lots prior to final plat approval in order to determine that each parcel is buildable and can support a septic system. PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At the April 12, 1995, Park and Recreation Commission meeting, the Commission recommended no trails or sidewalks be constructed with this plat and recommended a cash payment of $500.00 per lot for park dedication purposes. LOT SIZES • The subject site is zoned R1A, which requires a minimum lot size of 2.5 acres and 160 feet of frontage on a city street. The proposed plat consists of 21 lots which meet or exceed the minimum criteria. The lots range in size from 2.5 acres up to 16.7 acres. The majority of the lots are 2.5 to 2.7 acres in size. DRAINAGE Attached is a memorandum from City Engineer Terry Maurer regarding the proposed drainage and road issues. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat to subdivide approximately 80 acres into 21 single family lots based on the following conditions: 1. A development agreement be prepared outlining the terms and conditions for plat approval and installation of improvements. 2. Comments outlined in the City Engineer's memo dated June 21, 1995, be addressed and incorporated into final plans for the • development.
