, ` #09-3412 June 22,2009 Page 3 of 3 SKETCH PLAN ANALYSIS Lot Area/Width: Re uired Lot 1 Lot 2 Lot Area 2 acres * 4.15 acres** 2.92 acres** Lot Width 200 feet 225 feet 250 feet Lot De th As necessary 550 feet 550 feet ' *excluding wetland**includes wetland The preliminary plat will need to demonstrate that each lot contains two contiguous acres that are not wetland. Circulation: Access for Lot 1 would remain as is. A new driveway would provide access for Lot 2. It appears this driveway will need fo meander to reduce its slope to the maximum allowed 10 percent. � Wetland: Approximately 5,900 squaxe feet of wetland is proposed to be filled to provide a driveway to the new lot. This will require a rezoning to remove that portion of the property from the wetland overlay district and to add the mitigation area to the wetland overlay district. A permit from the MCWD will also be required. This permit should be obtained before an application is made for city approval of the fill and preliminary plat. While the fill requires both City and MCWD approval,the MCWD approval is narrower in scope (i.e. only the fill) so it should come first. Staff required a sketch plan with a public hearing because of the wetland fill proposed. Utilities: Septic Systems and Private Wells. The preliminary plat application must include certification of the existing septic system and an alternate drainfield location(or a primary and alternate drainfield location for this lot)plus primary and alternate septic locations for the new lot. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION REQUESTED Planning Commission is requested to review the applicant's submittals and identify any specific issues that need to be addressed if the application moves forward. As a sketch plan, this review process should not result in any formal motion or commitment to any approvals, and no vote should be taken. Staff intends to ask Council to review the proposal.
