The developer has addressed most of the issues previously discussed <br /> by the Planning Commission. Preliminary septic reports have been reviewed and conditionally <br /> approved by Steve Weckman. <br /> The proposed subdivision creates a rural residential development with five plus acre lots served by <br /> private septic systems and individual wells. The proposed subdivision is in keeping with the general <br /> character of the neighborhood. Due to the topography of the site and wetlands, many of the lots <br /> are irregular in size and shape, but each lot appears to demonstrate a suitable building site within <br /> the required setbacks and allow for a primary and secondary septic site. <br /> Weinberger stated that Outlot A is intended to be a private road held by the Homeowners <br /> Association and will be responsible for the maintenance of the private road. The outlot is platted at <br /> 1,100 feet in length, with City Code allowing a maximum of 1,000 feet for cul-de-sacs. The road is <br /> being platted with the intent to extend the road when access is required to the west. Future <br /> extension of the cul-de-sac is shown as Outlot B. <br /> 110 Weinberger stated that this development lies within two major drainage districts. The City <br /> Engineer is recommending that the final plans include water quality provisions for storm water <br /> 5 <br />
