This lot also <br />needs a width variance. <br />It. Drainage <br />Drainage is a concern on this property only in that <br />provision must to made to protect significant drainageways that <br />traverse the property. "Stubbs Bay Creek" follows along the <br />northwest lot line of the property. A detailed flood study of <br />the drainage area was done in the 1970's and floodplain <br />elevations have been defined. The City will require granting of <br />a Conservation and Flowage Easement coinciding with the <br />floodplain elevations along the creek. Staff's preliminary <br />review indicate; that lot areas east of the drainage easement <br />will Still exce-ed the required 2.0 acres in area by a wide <br />margin. <br />Both access corridors are traversed by a minor <br />creek/gully leading from a pond east of Leaf Street. Culverts <br />and driveway grading must be approved by the City Engineer to <br />ensure no restrictions in flow through this drainageway. <br />III.

Primary site for Lot 2 appears to be within a minor <br />drainage swale from the property tn the nort-east. <br />The alternate site on Lot 2 is a much better site. <br />4e would prefer to see the primary site moved to a <br />location away from the swale and further back from <br />the sauther ly lot line, since a mou; d in this area <br />will have a potential impact on the soil -water <br />regime of the neighboring properties due to <br />topog .-aphy. <br />b.) The primary site for Lot I is not in a swale but <br />shoul9 also be moved nortnwesterly to reduce its <br />impact on neighboring properties. <br />c.) The alternate sit- for Lot 1 needs tc be better <br />
