Staff questions whether it is <br /> appropriate to allow the Fox Street access and address for proposed Lot 1 as it will have no <br /> frontage on this roadway. 1840 Fox Street accesses over 1860 Fox Street (proposed Lot 2) via <br /> the existing shared driveway with an existing easement. There are other similar situations <br /> � within the City; however staff would view this as a potential opportunity to resolve an <br /> inconsistency. <br /> Staff discussed the potential address conflict with the Police Department and they indicated that <br /> there are many residences within their service area in similar circumstances and they have a <br /> notification within their CAD mapping system to alert emergency personnel to the <br /> access/address conflict. <br /> Park/Trail Easement/Fees or Dedication Needed <br /> The CMP indicates that future trails are proposed along both Brown Road and Fox Street. <br /> Planning Commission may wish to address whether dedication trail easements should be <br /> required. The City has not determined on which side of the roads trails might be developed. A <br /> 10' wide trail easement along both frontages, in the same location as 10' wide drainage and <br /> utilify easements that should be granted will be appropriate and won't impact use of the property. <br /> Staff will recommend that as there are no new buildable lots being created the standard 8% Park <br /> Dedication Fee should not apply. <br /> Road Improvements and/or Easements Needed <br /> Currently, the applicant is proposing to maintain the existing shared driveway for the three <br /> homes being served. Staff would suggest that this private driveway be platted as an outlot. In <br /> which case, the City will require a Road, Drainage and Utilities Easement over the private road, <br /> platted as an outlot. The City would require standard perimeter, drainage and utility easements <br /> around all property boundaries in the plat as well as Conservation and Flowage Easements over <br /> the delineated wetlands. Establishment of wetland buffers and buffer setbacks will likely be <br /> triggered for the lots containing wetlands. <br /> Stormwater and Drainage Improvements <br /> As no new lots are being created, the property should not be subject to the Stormwater and <br /> Drainage Trunk Fee. <br /> Utility Locations and Availability <br /> The property would be served by septic systems and private wells. All septic systems must be <br /> located 20' from all property boundaries, 20' from structures, and 75' from the delineated edge <br /> of wetlands. Private wells shall be setback 3' from structures and 50' from septic systems. <br /> Wetlands on Site and/or Impacted <br /> According to Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) maps there are four wetlands on <br /> the properties. As the wetlands have not been delineated; the appropriate buffer widths and <br /> setbacks have not been indicated on the survey. According to the MCWD maps the management <br /> classification of the wetlands are the two highest protection quality. Please refer to Exhibit E for <br /> a map showing wetland classification and buffer width requirements.. As mentioned earlier in <br /> 3 <br />
