However, staff would offer the following issues to be discussed as <br />Council considers granting preliminary PRD plat approval: <br />1. <br />- * f, ■ V <br />'Mi <br />A revised stormwater management plan addressing the concept of a linear <br />ponding area, has not been provided. This needs MCWD review and approval as <br />well as City iqiproval, as it makes use of a portion of the wetland for stormwater <br />treatment. The application should not move much further forward until there is <br />some commitment by MCWD to a stormwater plan involving linear ponding <br />within the wetland. Also note that the judicious use of curb and gutter may be <br />required to ensure that runoff fiom the road and driveways reaches the stormwater <br />ponds. <br />Significant fill will be needed to create the road access onto Watertown Road, and <br />this will require substantial retaining walls in Outlot B, requiring engineering... <br />The grading plans for individual homes leaves a lot to be desired. In all three <br />Block 2 lots, the steep slopes result in an immediate drop away from the house, <br />leaving no functional back yard, or the need for substantial terracing and retaining <br />walls to have any sort of flat back yard. The actual grading for each site may end <br />up substantially different than shown on the current plans, and any amenities such <br />as pools, ^rt courts, etc. will be difficult to establish without major topographic <br />changes. These lots may be difficult to market under the proposed layout... <br />Please review the City Engineer ’s most recent comments which if not included as <br />Exhibit D will be added to this packet prior to delivery... <br />Staff is in the process of drafting a Prelimiiuuy Plat Approval resolution, a first <br />draft of ediich is attached as Exhibit H. Please review this draft, which <br />incorporates a number of conditions of approval not discussed above... <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Review the^ proposed subdivision, and especially the Conservation Design <br />reGommaidations of AES in Exhibit E. Address tlM concerns noted above and any other <br />issues vdiich need consideration, and direct staff and applicant as to whether and/or under <br />what additioiud conditions Preliminary plat approval should be granted. <br />"fc-r •ifiiTiriniriT iTirnSMflSi
