Each lot appears to have a buildable envelope of 75 feet by 40 feet or greater as shown on the <br /> submitted plat drawing. <br /> 9. Stonnwater ponding is proposed within Outlot A adjacent to Willow Drive, and a smaller pond at <br /> the rear of Lot 6. <br /> Gaffron indicated the City Engineer has provided coinments on the revised plans,which include the <br /> standard request for pavement design and geotechnical reports, drainage calculations, and level of detail <br /> required in final design plans. In addition,the City Engineer has noted that,the��alkout elevations on <br /> Lots 8, 9, and 10 will need to be raised and that some revisions to the street grades are necessary to <br /> prevent water from damming on the church property. <br /> Gaffron stated the City's new Wetland Ordinance designates this wetland, including its extensions into <br /> Lots 8 and 10, as being a"Manage 2"protection classification,requiring a 25 foot buffer plus 20 feet <br /> structure setback from the buffer. In Staff's discussions with the MCWD,it was pointed out that the <br /> MCWD would treat the wetland extensions as part of the main wetland body for buffer purposes. Gaffron <br /> stated this will have a significant iinpact by reducing the buildable area within Lots 7, 8, 9, and 10, which <br /> has not been accounted for in the current plans. <br /> The Park Commission has reviewed this plat at fheir September meeting and has recommended that a <br /> ten-foot trail easement be established within the property along Willow Drive. This easement would <br /> allow flexibility in the development of trail connections to Hacicbeny Park. <br /> Gaffron stated the applicant has been infonned that the City would like this project to incorporate <br /> elements of Conservation Design, as this are adjacent to Willow Drive was the subject of a specific <br /> ecological analysis by DSU as part of the Rural Oasis Study.
