The 30 mph road will only serve 5 lots, so there should not be a need to support a queue of vehicles. If there are any changes needed the applicant can respond to those prior to placement on the City Council agenda. Ultimately, the developer should prepare a final plat application which responds to and incorporates these recommendations. Easements Drainage & Utility. The City requires standard perimeter drainage and utility easements around all property boundaries in the Plat and drainage easements over the wetland areas. The easements are not shown on the proposed preliminary plat drawing; the Final Plat must meet the City standards. Drainage and Utility Easements are required over any stormwater facilities that may be required by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Private Road. The property is proposed to be served via a private road with a minimum 24 -foot width to be contained within a 50 -foot wide outlot with a platted 100 -foot cul-de-sac. Road, Drainage and Utility easements shall be granted over the entirety of this outlot. Access easements shall be provided over the outlot/private road for each of proposed lots; a maintenance agreement for the private road should also be provided by the developer. Park Dedication The City has no plans for trails that may specifically require dedication of land from this property. The Park Fee is determined as 8% of the fair market value of the land being subdivided, but must be between a minimum of $3,250 and a maximum of $5,550 per residential dwelling unit. For the proposed development, the Park Fee would be based only on the newly created lots (3 new lots). The City's Assessor will be consulted to determine the market value of the land for establishing the amount of the fee. Stormwater and Drainage Improvements The developer should coordinate with the MCWD and provide confirmation regarding the permits or approvals they will require for this subdivision. According to the Anderson Engineering report, conservation easements will protect the wetland buffer areas as required by the MCWD. Additionally, according to the report, there will be two stormwater infiltration basins installed, the grading plan should be updated to reflect the pond areas. Placement and sizing will be determined by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Rules. The development is subject to the 2018 Stormwater and Drainage Trunk Fee of $4,030.00 per acre. For the 2 -acre zoning districts, any lot exceeding 2.0 gross acres, including wetland, shall be charged a maximum trunk fee equal to the trunk fee for a 2.0 acre parcel. Therefore $4,030 x 10 [5 lots x 2.0 = 10.0 total acres] = $40,300.00. Utility Locations and Availability The subject property is not located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). Therefore City sewer is not available to the property. They have provided septic system designs
