Septic sites are downhill to the east, with 2 possible drainfield locations depicted. Setbacks as depicted are appropriate and correct, except tliat the 50* front setback should be carried around the ‘temporary cul-de-sac* as if it were permanent, rather than being measured from the straight section of road corridor. Lot width is 181*- lot area is 2.19 acres dry plus 0.02 acres wetland. Lot 2. Block 2 is centrally located in the property, and is intended to be a rear walkout, with long open views to the east. Septic sites proposed are downliill from the bouse site, on slopes appearing to be 12% or flatter. Setbacks as depicted are appropriate and correct. Lot width is 180* - lot area is 2.18 acres dry buildable plus 0.06 acres wetland. Lot 3. Block 2 has a proposed house location tucked into the northwest comer of the lot, to reduce impacts to the steeply sloped mature woods immediately northwest of the wetland. Due to the existing steep slopes (15-20%), relocation of the house pad from its prior proposed location further southeast, has allow^ for significantly less grading, and significantly less removal of trees as compared to the prior plan. The result is potential retention of more of the woods that provides a backdrop to the long views looking northwesterly from Watertown Road. Septic sites are located at the base of the slope just north of the wetland, and need careful review to ensure they will not impact or be impacted by the wetland. Setbacks as depicted are appropriate and correct. Lot width is 185* - lot area is 2.56 acres dry buildable, plus 0.59 acres wetland. QutlotB Outlot B is 3.72 acres, including the southerly portion of the property most visible from Watertown Road. Outlot B will be commonly owned by a homeowners association, along with the private road, and is intended as an area for stormwater management and preservation of natural amenities in line with the City’s Conservation Design concept and goals. Stormwater Pond The stormwater pond is being relocated to the base of the slope in the center of Outlot B, and if constructed correctly could function as an aesthetic and recreation amenity to the subdivision. The storm sewer system needed to serve the pond will have slight impacts on the woods, and judicious routing of pipes or swales could result in preservation of most trees along those routes. The stormwater pond is proposed partially within tlie existing delineated wetland, and will require special City and MCWD approvals to allow this location; staff has preliminarily indicated support for this concept, based on the limitations of the site for other elficient ponding li-kAfitinnfl — mifiaiifinn mioht af fhm ar\ii#ViAao« n 4^___1__locations - wetland mitigation might be feasible at the southeast portion of Outlot B to make this plan more acceptable. An easement for the existing drainageway through the site was granted when the property was subdivided as a part of the ‘Kintyre’ plat in 1983. Wetlands on the site will be subject to the stuiidard Flowage and Conservation Easement as well as the City’s new buffer requirements. The entire property including wetlands will be subject to the standard Storm Water and Drainage Trunk Fee.
