The proposed layout is generally consistent with that proposal. <br /> The proposal includes the creation of a new private road terminating in a cul-de-sac. All seven properties <br /> would be served by municipal water and sewer. <br /> The developer proposes the construction of a single, new private road that will terminate in a cul-de-sac. <br /> The length of the road is 1,000 feet, meeting the maximum length requirement. This road will provide <br /> vehicular access for all lots. <br /> The grading plan shows grading to support the new road and house pads. <br /> Staff has received one comment letter expressing concerns from a wetland impact standpoint. Staff does <br /> not see any impacts to the wetland and the Watershed District is in the process of reviewing the <br /> application. <br /> Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat subject to the following conditions: <br /> 1. Sanitary should be a low-pressure system with individually privately-owned pumps. <br /> 2. All elements of the storm system required to meet regulatory requirements must be included in <br /> and completed as part of the development work. <br /> 3. Engineering comments included in the engineer's letter of April 8,2019. <br /> 4. The addition of a fire hydrant at the entrance to the development. <br /> 5. Reconfiguration of street trees. <br /> The Planning Commission had no questions for Staff. <br /> Mike Steadman, Developer, stated they are in agreement with Staffs recommendations and that they are <br /> available for questions. <br /> Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 7:45 p.m. <br /> Ted Schultz, 744 Brown Road North, stated his only concern is to preserve as much of the wetland as <br /> possible and asked whether the applicants could reconfigure the two lots to reduce the negative impact on <br /> the wetland. <br /> Thiesse noted the applicants are meeting the requirements of the Watershed District. Thiesse asked <br /> whether there is a wetland buffer required. <br /> Barnhart indicated there is. <br /> Thiesse asked whether Mr. Schultz feels there should be an additional buffer. <br /> Page 13 of 29 <br />
