13. The City has no current plans for trails or parks that specifically require <br /> dedication of land from this property. Because dedication of land for park <br /> purposes is not required at this location, a Park Dedication Fee in lieu of land per <br /> City Ordinance would be appropriate. <br /> 14. The applicant has submitted preliminary recommendations from Applied <br /> Ecological Services (AES) dated November 18, 2005 with regards to <br /> Conservation Design. The topics addressed by AES include forest preservation; <br /> forest enhancement and expansion; wetland preservation; wetland replacement <br /> and enhancement; vegetated buffer establishment; stormwater management; and <br /> ecological restoration and management. It would be appropriate and desirable <br /> that the developer adhere to the AES recommendations. <br /> 15. The City's wetland consultant, John Smyth of Bonestroo & Associates, has <br /> provided comments with regard to wetlands on the site, specifically with regards <br /> to the location of the existing creek drainage easement as compared to the actual <br /> creek location, and with regards to potential impacts to the wetland of the <br /> proposed stormwater treatment pond. It would be appropriate that his concerns be <br /> addressed as part of a comprehensive stormwater and wetland management plan <br /> for the site. Additionally, because certain elements of the proposed ponding plan <br /> may ultimately involve fill or excavation in existing wetlands, review and <br /> approval by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District is necessary. <br /> 16. All proposed lots have been tested and found capable of providing suitable <br /> primary and alternate sites for on-site sewage treatment systems. For all lots, <br /> mound systems will be required. On Lots l, 2 and 3, Block 1 and Lot 2, Block 2, <br /> treatment sites are relatively near the proposed house locations, and may limit the <br /> location or extent of potential future amenities. Special precautions, including but <br /> not limited to protective covenants as well as physical barriers during construction <br /> activity, must be taken to protect these sites on both a short-term and long-term <br /> basis, as municipal sewers are not projected to be extended to serve this area of <br /> Orono. <br /> 17. All proposed lots will contain suitable area meeting all established setback, <br /> requirements to allow the construction of single family residences. <br /> Page5of13 <br />
