I: <br /> reviewing this property with the City Engineer, we feel that although thi. <br /> wetland does not appear on the City's designated wetland maps, a goo <br /> portion of it would likely be designated as such if a subdivision wa <br /> applied for. It is our opinion that the dry buildable area east of th <br /> wetland would probably not be large enough to meet the 2 acre minimu <br /> standards, and we note that due to the wetland and wet soils, it would tak <br /> considerable care in site planning to place both a house and primary an, <br /> alternate septic system sites on the eastern part of the property. A larch, <br /> share of the property is mapped as Glencoe soils, not suitable for septi. <br /> systems. <br /> Given the above information , as I noted to you previously on th <br /> phone, the potential for a subdivision of the Plant property would appea <br /> to be marginal at best. <br /> I hope this answers your questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> • , <br /> Michael P.
