• Issues • Lot Size The minimum lot size in the Rla zone is 2 1/2 acres. The lots range in size from 2.51 acres to 4.84 acres, excluding type 3, 4 and 5 wetlands larger than 1 acre and area below the ordinary high water level. The lots comply with the other dimensional requirements of the Rla zone and the Shoreline Management Ordinance. On lots 1, 13 and 24, the existing UPA powerline easement will impact the placement of houses on the lots. UPA has a 150 foot wide easement that runs parallel to the north boundary of the site. The proposed configuration of lots 1 and 24 limits the possible placement of a house on those lots. On lot 1, the proposed house pad abuts the UPA easement. Lot 24 is an even tighter fit; the proposed house pad does not meet the side yard setback requirements. Lot 24 should be widened to allow for a larger buildable area outside the UPA easement. With lot 13 there is some flexibility in placement of the house; the lot is wide enough so that there could be 35 to 40 feet between a house and the UPA easement. UPA has indicated that they do not have a problem with houses being • located next to the easement. There are other areas of the City were houses are constructed in close proximity to transmission lines. There are two lots in Hidden Creek Country Estates with houses that appear to be very close to the same transmission line easement that affects this development and there is another transmission line through Hillside Estates, in the area of the city water tower, that will most likely have houses constructed in close proximity to the transmission line easement. The existing single family house and detached garage will be incorporated into lot 22. The existing structure on Lot 9 will remain and be incorporated as part of the house which will be built on the lot. • Wetlands The wetlands, in general, are located to the rear of the proposed lots. Construction of the road and houses will be far enough away from the wetlands so that they will not be affected. Drainage and utility easements need to be in place over all the wetlands and drainage areas. A wetland joint notification form should be completed and filed. • Roads • This plat has one road. The proposed road winds its way through the site beginning at Filmore Street and terminating in a temporary cul-de-sac near the
