»2755 Long Lake Fire Station Site Febrtiary 15,2002 Page 4 Stormwater Management . Development of the fire station site results in approximately 60% of Lot 1 being hardsurfaced. A stormwater pond sized to serve the needs of Lot 1 cannot be constructed within Lot 1 unless Lot I is substantially expanded. A pond location directly east of Lot 1 could have possible negative impacts on the future development potential of Lot 2. However, a somewhat linear pond that could serve Lot 1 with the ability to expand it to serve Lot 2, is feasible north of the creek in Lot 2. This pond would be sandwiched beuveen the creek and the sewerAvater lines which will cross Lot 2 (see Preliminary Plat draw'ing). If additional ponding is ultimately needed to serve a higher intensity use than anticipated on Lot 2, it could be developed as a second linear cell north of the sewer/water line corridor. Because the actual use of Lot 2 has not been determined, it is the City’s intent to delay expansion of ponding to serve Lot 2 until Lot 2 is developed. A City stormw ater trunk fee would normally be charged to a plat such as this, based on the acreage and use of the site per the current fee schedule. The Fire Station site (Lot 1) would be considered as commcrcial/industrial if the fee is charged, currently $6,480 per acre. Lot 2 would be charged as a residential site, although the per acre fee amount is based on the actual development density which is not yet known. The City Council will ultimately determine whether any stormwater trunk fees should be due for this subdivision. City ordinance allows the City to develop policies in regards to trunk fee credits when a developer provides stormwater facilities that provide benefits greater than just to the development site. Such policies are not currently in place. 1
