MS-3097 April 18.2005 Page4 of6 The property would also be subject to a park dedication fee based on 8% of the value of the land or a cap of $5550 per lot (excluding the lot with the existing house), 5 Lots X $5,550 = $27,750 The Park Commission will be asked to review and comment on the proposed plat and how it relates to park dedication. Road Improvements and/or Easements Needed The City will require a Road, Drainage and Utilities Easement over the private road, which should be platted as an outlet. The City would also require standard 5* perimeter and drainage easements around all property boundaries (10* along periphery property boundaries) as well as conservation and flowage easements over all delineated wetlands. Stormwater and Drainage Improvements The applicant has proposed a NURP pond near the proposed road on lot 2. While the City Engineer has not provided form^ comments, he has indicated there is a problem with this proposal as the proposed pond is only treating 8 of the 21 existing dry acres. It is assumed that the other 13 dry acres and their potential stormwater will be drained to the lake. The City Engineer has indicated that all 21 dry acres must be treated. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District will have to approve the proposed methods of treating stormwater. The property will also be subject to the Stormwater and Drainage Trunk Fee, established by the 2005 fee schedule as $2,770 per acre for the 2-acre zone. The total acreage is 57.91 acres.

All septic systems must be located 100’ from the 929.4 elevation, 20’ ^m all property boundaries, 10’ from structures, and 26 ’ from the delineated edge of wetlands. The sites proposed appear to meet these setbacks. A review of the actual septic designs has not been completed as of the date of this report. Private wells must be provided and shall be setback 3’ from structures and 50’ from septic systems. Lakcshorc Proximity and Conformity with Shoreland Regulations The property is essentially a large peninsula with well over 3,500 feet of shoreline. Although the property abuts a 929.4 elevation, the individual lots may have only limited riparian rights. Docks and lake access of any kind, if allowed, will likely require wetland alteration or encroachment approvals from the City and other agencies. Because of the proximity of the property to the body of Lake Minnetonka and Long Lake Creek, all J
