CITY rte` RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL " �' ' �, NO. 6 5 and wetlands and allow for a somewhat curvilinear driveway without creating a more complex outlot configuration and description. 11. The shared driveway will be subject to joint ownership and maintenance, and subject to easements between the two property owners for use and maintenance, and subject to an underlying drainage and utility easement. 12. Each proposed lot contains at least 2.0 acres of contiguous dry buildable land and ate least 5.0 acres in total land area, with the proposed building sites meeting the RR-lA setback standards (100' front and rear, 50' sides). 13. Due to the large size lots, the need for stormwater improvements appears to be limited to erosion control and floodplain management per the review by the City Engineer. The property will be subject to the Stormwater and Drainage Trunk Fee of $3,075 per acre based on two buildable lots in the 5 -acre zone. The fee is based on 5 acres for each lot, or $15,375 per lot, for a total fee of $30,750. 14. The Community Management Plan indicates that no future trails are proposed along Orchard Park Road, and there is no need for trail easements. Since a house currently exists on the site and one additional homesite is being created, payment of the standard Park Dedication fee for one new building lot at the rate $5,550 per lot would be appropriate. I.S. The Applicants have submitted a Conservation Design Report and Master Plan prepared by Svoboda Ecological Resources dated September 22, 2015 that inventories and describes in detail the environmental features of the site, defining what natural values of the site should be preserved or enhanced and how that should occur. The Conservation Design Report describes the existing landscape as "a mixture of grassland, wetland and small woodlots around the homestead and between fields". With the homes being proposed quite far from Orchard Park Road and the use of the shared driveway, views into the site will continue to reflect the rural character typical of the 5 -acre zone. Wetlands and drainage patterns will be maintained. The proposed Vegetation Management Plan discusses procedures for management of wetland buffer areas and invasive species that are scattered through the property including buckthorn and reed canary grass. It is noted that most trees on the property are healthy but are mostly non-significant undesirable species. There are no areas of the site that contain defined `significant tree stands', as this is primarily open field. Removal of dead trees Page 4 of 9
