#2372 - Haglund - Preliminary Subdivision Junes, 1998 Page 2 Setbacks . The existing house will meet the required setback from all existing and proposed lot lines. The existing garage was granted location variances prior to its remodeling in 1991, and its relation to lot lines does not change as a result of the subdivision. The proposed setbacks for Lot 1 appear to be • correctly oriented per City code requirements. Wetlands No wetland delineation report has been submitted. There are no_wetlands mapped in either the City inventory or the National Wetland Inventory for this property. The only potential weUand is a small (less than 0.1 acre) low spot in the SE comer of Lot 1. This area is not expected to be impacted by any development of the site, but might be improved to serve as a sedimentation or runoff rate control basin for the site. A wetland delineation report should be required of the applicant and if in fact a wetland is delineated, a covenant should be filed in the chain of title wa^g future owners of approvals needed if that wetland is will be impacted by development. Stormwater Plan . No grading/drainage/stormwater plan has been proposed at this time, but will be required. The City Engineer has reviewed this plat, and his comments are attached. Under MCWD's proposed Rule B changes, it is likely no stormwater ponding would be required for this subdivision; however, in a recent meeting involving Orono and MCWD staff and consultants, it became clear that under the current Rule B, unless MCWD grants a variance, this site would be required to have a NURP pond because it is a proposed subdivision that involves more than 2 acres of land. The City Engineer is recommending that some stormwater facilities be provided. Drainage calculations are needed to demonstrate that Phosphorus loadings leaving the site can be hrnited to a maximum of 0.28 lbs. per acre per year. It may be possible to develop a small pond in the depressional area at the southeast comer of Lot 1. RInffAVondland Impacts . No part of the property i'. eonsidered as bluff. No significant woodland will be irapaeted by the proposed subdivision. Most of the north half of the site was formerly an open field which has partially revegetated. park or Trail Needs. The Park Commission at their May 4 meeting recommended that a park dedication fee be required rather than land dedication.
