<br /> <br />A wetland delineation has been receieve3d and accepted by the Watershed District. <br /> <br />Shoreland rules. Section 78-1221 Subdivision/ platting provisions apply to this subdivision. The Planning <br />Commission and City Council will need to consider the following in determining land suitability for subdivision: <br />(1) Susceptibility to flooding; <br />(2) Existence of wetlands; <br />(3) Soil and rock formations with severe limitations for development; <br />(4) Severe erosion potential; <br />(5) Steep topography; <br />(6) Inadequate water supply or sewage treatment capabilities; <br />(7) Near-shore aquatic conditions unsuitable for water-based recreation; <br />(8) Important fish and wildlife habitat; <br />(9) Presence of significant historic sites; or <br />(10) Any other feature of the natural land likely to be harmful to the health, safety or welfare of future <br />residents of the proposed subdivision or of the community. <br /> <br />Additional information will be required as part of the preliminary plat process: <br /> <br />(c) Information requirements. Sufficient information must be submitted by the applicant for the city to make a <br />determination of land suitability. In addition to information required by other provisions in this chapter <br />and chapter 82, the following information shall also be submitted: <br />(1) Topographic contours at two-foot intervals showing limiting site characteristics. <br />(2) The surface water features required in Minn. Stat. § 505.02, subd. 1, to be shown on plats, <br />obtained from United States Geological Survey quadrangle topographic maps or more accurate <br />sources. <br />(3) Adequate soils information to determine suitability for building and on-site sewage treatment <br />capabilities for every lot from the most current existing sources or from field investigations, such as <br />soil borings, percolation tests or other methods. <br />(4) Information regarding adequacy of domestic water supply; extent of anticipated vegetation and <br />topographic alterations; near-shore aquatic conditions, including depths, types of bottom sediments, <br />and aquatic vegetation; and proposed methods for controlling storm water runoff and erosion, both <br />during and after construction activities. <br />(5) Location of 100-year floodplain areas and floodway districts from existing adopted maps or data. <br />(6) A line or contour representing the ordinary high water level, the toe and the top of bluffs, and the <br />minimum building setback distances from the top of the bluff and the lake or stream. <br /> <br />Utilities. Stormwater. It is advised to meet with the watershed district early to understand their permitting <br />requirements. Three lots (the two pink lots and the existing home) will trigger stormwater management. <br /> <br />All lots will be served by municipal sanitary sewer services, at the developers expense. The sanitary sewer main <br />will need to be extended to the north, with individual lots served by service lines. <br /> <br />Conservation Design. City Code requires conservation design for projects either greater than 5 acres, or at densities <br />greater than one unit per 2 acres. We can support a waiver of the conservation design requirement in lieu of <br />identifying substantial trees (Oaks, Maple, Basswood, etc. greater than 6’ DBH) <br /> <br />Variances/ waivers necessary <br />Based on the information available, the following waivers or variances are identified: <br /> Cul de sac length
