• #13-3595 15 February 2013 Page 3 of 5 southeast for potential future road connection to serve that property. This would allow for a future through road from Willow to Watertown. This would provide more options for future development of the property to the southeast, and ultimately make for more efficient road maintenance. Rural Oasis, Conservation Design &Woodland Impacts This project triggers the need for the developer to conduct and submit a conservation design plan. A Conservation Design Master Plan and Report should be submitted with the preliminary plat application for review. Wetlands on Site and/or Impacted According to the City's wetland map a wetland exists on the property primarily in the area surrounding the creek/drainageway. Due to winter conditions a wetland delineation cannot be completed; a wetland delineation should be conducted and the edge shown on the survey in addition to the required buffer and 20 foot buffer setback. A copy of the delineation report and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District approval of the delineation will be required at the time of preliminary plat. Establishment of wetland buffers and buffer setbacks will be triggered for the lots containing wetlands. Wetland buffer signage should be purchased by the developer for installation along buffer areas and where the buffer intersects lot lines. Road Improvements and/or Easements Needed The City requires standard perimeter, drainage and utility easements around all property boundaries in the plat as well as Conservation and Flowage Easements over the delineated wetlands and wetland buffers. Conservation easements should be provided to protect the views and natural features identified with the comprehensive Conservation Design Master planning process. Stormwater and Drainage Improvements The developer will be required to provide stormwater management facilities on the site. Additionally, the development is subject to the Stormwater and Drainage Trunk Fee, which should be based on an equivalence to the standard fee for the 1/2-acre zoning district given the lot sizes proposed. That fee is $5,765 per gross acre, and at 4.8 gross acres (net of Willow Drive r-o-w) amounts to$27,672. Park/Trail Easement/Fees or Dedication Needed The 2008-2030 CMP Comprehensive Trail System Map (Exhibit J) indicates that a future trail is planned on Willow Drive which stops just short of the subject property. The Park Fee is determined as 8%of the fair market value of the land being subdivided, with a minimum of$3250 per dwelling unit or a maximum of$5,550 per residential dwelling unit. The Hennepin County Assessor will review the value upon receipt of a preliminary plat application. As there will be five new dwelling sites,the Park Fee will be between $16,250 and $27,750. Utility Locations and Availability The subject property is located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA); sewer service is available to these properties via the Hackberry system which discharges to the Long Lake system. Water service is available from the Long Lake system subject to Long Lake approval. Sewer and Water Fees will be due to Long Lake, subject to the provisions of the Glendale Cove Sewer and Water Agreement of January 2012, which defines the applicant's properties as Category 3 Properties (see Exhibit H).
