Currently the lots are not <br /> identified as lakeshore lots. <br /> The Planning Commission should provide feedback whether or not some flexibility from <br /> identifying the front lot for Lot 3 along the Outlot A will be supported. <br /> Natural Environment. <br /> For the Preliminary Plat a determination of the floodplain, wetlands,top of bank and bluff for <br /> the property will be required. These areas are to be preserved and protected.A wetland <br /> delineation will be required and approved by MCWD. Long Lake Creek is a main waterway to <br /> the lake. Further analysis of the project with regard to shoreland management may yield <br /> additional comments. The applicant has stated there will no grading south of the proposed cul- <br /> de-sac where the creek crossing,wetlands,floodplain, steep slopes and woods areas exist. The <br /> grading plan, once developed,will need to be further evaluated to ensure that this goal can be <br /> met. <br /> A Long Lake Creek runs through the property, running from the pond in Lot 2 toward Long Lake. <br /> Depending on the identified top of bank all three proposed lots could be affected by the 100' <br /> creek setback. This creek is considered a tributary, and the 100 lake yard applies from the top of <br /> bank if the lots are served by septic systems.The watershed districts comments may influence <br /> changes to the plan. The applicant is stating no work is being proposed in the wetlands, creek, <br /> floodplain and steep slopes. A Wetland Delineation and a NOD from the MCWD will be <br /> required. <br /> City Code requires conservation design for projects either greater than 5 acres, or at densities <br /> greater than one unit per 2 acres. A Conservation design plan will be required, unless waived by <br /> the City Council. <br /> The Planning Commission should discuss support a waiver of the conservation design requirement <br /> in lieu of identifying substantial trees(Oaks, Maple, Basswood, etc. greater than 6'DBH). <br /> Engineer Comments <br /> The following are comments given by the City Engineer to be addressed with a preliminary plat. <br /> 1. Private Roadway-A maximum of two properties are allowed to share a driveway.The <br /> proposed roadway should be extended to a point to allow the homes to the south to <br /> access it directly without a shared drive.As currently depicted three houses would share <br /> driveway south of the proposed cul-de-sac. <br /> 2. Private Roadway-a roadway and cul-de-sac conforming to City standards will need to be <br /> constructed in Outlot A. <br /> 3. Sanitary-Property is within the MUSA and therefor eligible to connect to city sanitary <br /> sewer.Applicant should explore the possibility of constructing a low pressure system to <br /> serve the properties included in the sketch plan.The closest connection is to the south <br /> and would require easements to cross private property. <br /> 4. Any existing easements on the property should be shown. <br /> 5. All existing structures on the property should be shown such as the dam and Creek <br /> crossing. <br /> 6. Extent of the wetlands/creek flood plain should be depicted <br />
