Lakeview - Final Plat Review May 21, 2015 Page 2 Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements The applicants have submitted an updated draft Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements, attached as Exhibit C. The City will be granted specific easements and covenants regarding the private road, the wetlands, and the conservation area, in separate documents not subject to potential future amendment by the HOA, to guarantee the permanence of the various provisions. Stormwater Management In the initial development plans, stormwater management was primarily being handled by establishment and maintenance of the conservation areas in natural vegetation to act as a filtration system, with no NURP ponding proposed. The plans reviewed by the Council in March included 4 ‘biofiltration basins’ or dry ponding areas, clustered around the area where the outlet to the large existing pond will flow under the main road through culverts. Since then the MCWD has required the developers to incorporate additional such basins (for a total of 16) scattered throughout the development area at locations where runoff from the new streets can be captured and held for infiltration. The locations can be found on Sheets C401 thru C406; pond design details are depicted on Sheets C601/602/603 of the attached plan set. The low area in the northwest corner of the property may have been a wetland prior to construction of the golf course in the 1950s. When the course was built that area was drained with underground tiling. While a formal restoration of this wetland is not proposed and not required by MCWD, the plan is to remove the draintiles and allow the low area to revert to a natural state. The low land is within the defined Conservation Area. Applicants have been working closely with MCWD regarding stormwater management, and final MCWD Board approvals are expected to be granted on May 28. The MPCA has approved the SWPPP/NPDES permit for the site. City Engineer Comments The development plans have undergone a number of minor engineering revisions since March, based on comments from the MCWD and the City Engineer. Staff and Bob Bean from Bolton & Menk met with the applicants on May 20 to review Bob’s most recent engineering comments (see Exhibit E). It appears that all engineering issues have been or are in the process of being addressed and will be resolved to allow for Final Plat Approval at the June 8 Council meeting. Development Agreement A draft of the Development Agreement drafted by the City Attorney and staff has been reviewed by the applicants and is attached as Exhibit F. Private Road Names The proposed private road names include Lakeview Parkway for the main road, with cul-de-sacs proposed to be known as Augusta Street; St. Andrews Street; Lakeview Court; and Pinehurst Court (previously labeled as Quail Hollow Avenue).
