The District issued a Notice of Decision regarding the wetland delineation (Exhibits C & D) and is not requiring buffers with the plat however, development on Lot 1 may trigger the need for a wetland buffer in the future. Hennepin County Hennepin County was asked to comment on the proposed subdivision. They responded with the email attached as Exhibit G indicating they do not have comments on the proposal. Stormwater Quality Overlay District The property is within Tier 3 of the City's Stormwater Quality Overlay District limiting total site hardcover to 35% of the lot area. As each of the lots exceed 1.99 acres in area there is no limit on overall structural coverage. Drainage and Utility Easements The City requires standard perimeter drainage and utility easements around all property boundaries on the Plat and drainage easements over the wetland areas and 25 -foot setback from the wetland. The easements are not shown on the proposed preliminary plat drawing; the Final Plat must meet the City's standards. In the future, Drainage and Utility Easements should be required over any stormwater facilities that are required by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Private Driveway Outlot The new lots are proposed to be served via a private driveway within a 30 -foot wide outlot. Drainage and Utility easements should be granted over the entirety of this outlot on the plat. Access easements shall be provided over the outlot for driveway purposes benefitting both of the proposed lots. A maintenance agreement for the private driveway should also be provided by the developer. Park Dedication A developer shall be required to dedicate to the City for parks, playgrounds, trails, open spaces and other public purposes an amount of land proportional to the amount of land being developed and to the number of residential units or commercial industrial employment, as set forth in City Code Section 82-226 in the amount of 0.1 acres of land per residential dwelling unit. The Parks, Open Space and Trail Plan chapter of the Orono Comprehensive Plan does not specify the need for a neighborhood park or a trail at this location which may specifically require dedication of land from this property. Saga Hill Park Preserve is connected to Wildhurst Trail via an undeveloped right-of-way. The Park Fee Cash contribution requirement is equal to the amount of land required to be dedicated. In instances where a cash contribution is to be made in lieu of a conveyance or dedication of land, the cash contribution to be contributed shall be equivalent to the fair market value of the land to be dedicated. For the proposed development, the estimated Park Fee is based only on the newly created lot. The Park Dedication Fee for this project is estimated to be $6,391.82. The County Assessor will be consulted to determine the market value of the land for establishing the amount of the fee. Stormwater Drainage Trunk Fee
