Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 2 will have an average lot area of 2.3 �tcres of non-wetland <br /> are�. While these lots e�tch have a proposed building site locatecl at the miiumum <br /> reqLiired front setback, steep slopes to the east of each homesil:e result in proposed <br /> grading tllat allows for walkouts bttt miiiuilizes the ability for a relatively flat <br /> bacic yard. Lot 3 Block 2 should be subject to covenants that limit the gradin� <br /> and tree removal on these steep slopes in order to preserve the wooded backdrop <br /> as viewed froin Watertowii Road. <br /> 11. The Plaiuiing Conuiiission has reconunended that a conservaiion easement be <br /> dedicated over the 035telly p0l'�1OI13 of Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 2, in order to <br /> preserve the wetland and wooded areas at the base of tlie long eastward slopes. <br /> Tlus wooded wetland is part of a large 100-acre wetlaiid complex lying <br /> northeasterly from the property. <br /> 12. Due to steep slopes and the proxiz�iity to wetlands, it is critical that as inucll <br /> storniwater and snowi�zelt runoff from the developinent as is feasible be <br /> discharged to the proposed stortnwater quality ponci to be located within Outlot B. <br /> Tlus may require tlie use of curb and gutter and storm sewers, rather than a rural <br /> section, to efficiently collect road runof£ The use of curb and gutter and bttried <br /> storm sewers may result iil less disruption of existiilg vegetation, especially if this <br /> avoids cuttiilg wide swaths tlu�ough the wooded are� to acconunodate swales. <br /> 13. The City has no CLII'I'�llt plans for tt•ails or parlcs that specifically require <br /> declication of land fi•oz11 this property, Because dedicatioil of land for park <br /> pur�oses is not required at this location, a 1'zrlc Dedicai:ion I'ee in lieu of land per <br /> City Ordinance would be ��pro�ri�te, <br /> 14.
