With the likelyhood that only 2 new homes will be <br />constructed on lots of 5 acres and 6 acres respectively, and no new roads being created to serve the <br />subdivision, it was staffs expectation that MCWD would not require a permit nor any ponding, and <br />no fee contribution. However, in a recent discussion with MCWD representatives, it was noted that <br />this plat would likely not be exempt from a permit under the current Rule B requirements, and may . <br />in fact require a stormwater management plan. Applicant is advised to contact the MCWD to <br />determine whether a permit and/or plan will be required. <br />The City's goal for this development, as noted by the City Engineer, is that pre-development water <br />quality and quantity parameters be maintained at post-development. This may be accomplished by <br />merely maintaining vegetated buffers along the property perimeters. Applicant has provide drainage <br />area calculations and information as requested by the City Engineer, based on assumptions about <br />future house and driveway locations. The vegetative buffer proposal (Exhibit D) includes <br />preservation ov vegetated strips along and across the major drainage routes, which would be subject <br />to covenants requiring their maintenance in a vegetated condition. Subject to confirmation by the <br />City Engineer, it is staffs opinion that this plan is very appropriate for this subdivision given the <br />layout of the proposed plat. <br />Erosion control using Best Management Practices (BMP's) will be required during home <br />construction, especially on steep slopes. <br />Summary of Issues for Consideration <br />1. Confirmation of dry buildable acreage for Lot 1, Block 1; consideration of Planning <br />Commisssion recommendation for lot area variance if required; consideration of lot width <br />variance for Lot 1, Block 1. <br />2. Review drainage analysis and vegetative buffer proposal, identify any concerns. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat, per the attached resolution, which contains a <br />number of specific conditions including: <br />1.Applicant to confirm dry buildable acreage of Lot 1, Block 1; lot area variance to be granted <br />if it’s under 5 acres. <br />2. Granting of lot width variance for Lot 1, Block 1. <br />3. New driveway access locations will be subject to Public Services Director approval.
