FILE#LA19-000084 <br /> October 21,2019 <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br /> it is recommended that refined plans, including grading plans be provided prior to making <br /> a formal recommendation. <br /> Site Grading. At this sketch plan stage no grading plans have been submitted. However, <br /> to accommodate a home in the flood plain, grading will likely be necessary. An Interim <br /> Use Permit will be required to permit that activity. <br /> Stormwater and Drainage Improvements & Fees. Stormwater plans have not been <br /> developed at this stage. Stormwater will need to be managed as required by the Watershed <br /> District. <br /> The project will be subject to the Stormwater and Drainage Trunk Fee (SW&DT Fee). <br /> Final calculation of the fee would be based on the final lot count. If for example the <br /> development results in 2 lot at 0.5 acres, the SW&DT Fee would be $6,050 per new lot as <br /> outlined in the 2019 Orono Fee Schedule. <br /> Utility Locations/Availability/Assessments/Connection Fees. It is not stated, but it is <br /> assumed that the property will connect to sanitary sewer services. A SAC connection fee <br /> will be required at the time of connection. Extension of the sewer will be the responsibility <br /> of the developer. <br /> Municipal Water does not serve the property. A well will need to be developed for each <br /> lot. <br /> It is assumed that all other utilities will be underground and located within easements. This <br /> will be verified with the review of the utility plan. <br /> Wetlands. It appears that a portion of the western shore is impacted by wetlands. The <br /> MCWD will likely require a buffer of some width, which may impact access and building <br /> sites. Wetland buffers may be included in lot area calculations, but not the wetlands <br /> themselves. <br /> Tree and/or Woodland Impacts. The site plan indicates several large cottonwood trees on <br /> the property, many of which will be removed to accommodate construction. <br /> Conservation Design. Conservation design is not required because this is a proposed plat, <br /> not a proposed subdivision. <br /> Summary of Issues for Consideration <br /> Staff suggests that the primary focus for consideration and discussion by the Planning <br /> Commission should include the following topics: <br /> 1. Does the Planning Commission support the lot layout as presented <br /> 2. Has the Commission identified issues in addition to those identified by staff? <br /> Staff Recommendation <br />
