A <br /> buildable site must also have room for a house meeting 50'front and rear setbacks,30'side setbacks,and <br /> 26'setback from wetlands. Two 5-bedroom septic system drainfield sites must be available meeting 20' <br /> setbacks from lot lines,buildings,and impervious surfaces,and meeting a 75'setback from wetlands. I <br /> have sketched these setbacks onto a 1"=50' map of the property to assist in assessing the potential <br /> buildability. <br /> Based on the MnDOT proposed acquisition map you provided me, the following numbers are relevant: <br /> Before Acyuisition Post-Acauisition <br /> Gross Lot Area(Incl. Road) 140,662 s.f. (3.23 ac) ------------ <br /> Gross Lot Area(Excl. Road) 131,510 s.f. (3.02 ac) 104,433 s.f. (2.40 ac) <br /> Wetland Area(Est. Per MnDOT map) 22,520 s.f.* (0.52 ac) 22,520 s.f.* (0.52 ac) <br /> Net Dry Buildable Area 108,990 s.f. (2.5.0 ac) 81,913 s.f. (1.88 ac) <br /> *Estimate based on scaling the MnDOT drawings <br /> There are two factors which make it impossible to reach an absolute conclusion regarding the buildability <br /> potential of the site at this time. These are: 1)lack of septic testing&design work to show whether <br /> acceptable septic sites are available;and 2)lack of a formal wetland delineation to define the boundaries <br /> and actual extent of the wetlands.The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District wetland map indicates a larger <br /> area of wetland on the site than is depicted on the MnDOT map. <br /> � Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-4616 <br /> www ci.ornno.mn.us <br />
