FILE # LA18-000068 August 20, 2018 Page 3 of 5 Road Improvements and/or Easements Needed. Assuming the road would be private, the City will require a Road, Drainage and Utilities Easement over the private road, which should be platted as an outlot and designed and built to City private road standards. Standard perimeter drainage and utility easements around all property boundaries as well as conservation and flowage easements over the delineated wetlands will be required. Remedy: Plat outlot, prepare easement if private. Parks, Trails, Sidewalks. No sidewalks or trails are proposed. Based on the comprehensive trail plan, no trails are recommended. Park Dedication. Since this is a proposed plat, versus a subdivision, no park dedication will be required. Stormwater and Drainage Improvements & Fees. Stormwater plans have not been developed at this stage. Stormwater will need to be managed as required by the Watershed District. The project will be subject to the Stormwater and Drainage Trunk Fee (SW&DT Fee). Final calculation of the fee would be based on the final lot count. If for example the development results in I lot at 0.5 acres, the SW&DT Fee would be $6,050 lots per the 2018 Orono Fee Schedule. Utility Locations/Availability/Assessments/Connection Fees. It is not stated, but it is assumed that the property will connect to sanitary sewer services. A SAC connection fee will be required at the time of connection. Extension of the sewer will be the responsibility pf the development. Municipal Water does not serve the property. A well will need to be drilled. It is assumed that all other utilities will be underground and located within easements. This will need to be verified. Remedy: Confirm easement authority to extend utilities to property. Wetlands. It appears that a portion of the western shore is impacted by wetlands. A delineation will need to be completed as part of the preliminary plat. The MCWD will likely require a buffer of some width, which may impact access and building sites. Wetland buffers may be included in lot area calculations, but not the wetlands themselves. Remedy: Delineate wetland, to be approved by Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, adjust lot area as necessary. Tree and/or Woodland Impacts. The site plan indicates several large cottonwood trees on the property, many of which will be removed to accommodate construction. Conservation Design. Conservation design is not required because this is a proposed plat, not a proposed subdivision. :
