Setbacks would have to meet 150% of the <br /> standard RR-1B setbacks, i.e. 75' front and rear rather than 50', and 45' on the sides rather <br /> than 30'. See Exhibit D. The back lot setback standards do not have much impact on the <br /> proposed house location. The lot contains 4 viable drainfield sites. Extensive wetland <br /> buffers are proposed within the eastern third of the site. For emergency services access, the <br /> driveway within Lot 2 would have to be at least 20' in drivable width and include a loop <br /> near the house suitable for emergency and service vehicle access. Proposed is grading of a <br /> building pad to establish a new existing grade at the house location for height and stories <br /> determination. <br /> Lot 3: The lot as proposed contains 8.12 acres of which 4.87 acres is wetland and 3.25 acres is <br /> dry buildable. Access to the lot is proposed via a 20' shared driveway outlot (proposed <br /> Outlot C) with a 10' wide driveway extending from the existing private driveway within <br /> Outlot A of Tamarack Hill. Absent abutting a road and cul-de-sac, Lot 3 is a back lot and <br /> meets the required 3.0 acres area requirement. Setbacks would have to meet 150% of the <br /> standard RR-1B setbacks, i.e. 75' front and rear rather than 50', and 45' on the sides rather <br /> than 30'. See Exhibit D. For Lot 3, the west line abutting the 20' outlot is considered as <br /> front, the east boundary is rear, and the north and south boundaries would be sides. As <br /> proposed, the depicted house location would not meet the required front setback. Tested <br /> septic sites have not been shown on the submitted plans for this lot. Assuming the existing <br /> drainfield system is adequate to serve a new house on the site, a secondary site needs to be <br /> shown. If the existing system is inadequate, then two sites must be shown. Sites tested in <br /> 2015 appear to be within the proposed wetland buffer north of the proposed house site, <br /> based on a review of the prior information. <br /> Lot 4: Lot 4 contains a 2.45 total acres of which 0.42 acre is wetland, leaving 2.03 acres of dry <br /> buildable land. Similar to Lot 3, access to the lot is proposed via a 20' shared driveway <br /> �outlot with a 10' wide driveway extending from the existing private driveway within Outlot <br /> A of Tamarack Hill. Absent abutting a road and cul-de-sac, Lot 3 is also a back lot. It <br /> does not meet the required 3.0 acres back lot area requirement. Setbacks would have to <br /> meet 150% of the standard RR-1B setbacks, i.e. 75' front and rear rather than 50', and 45' <br /> on the sides rather than 30'. See Exhibit D. The northeasterly line abutting proposed <br /> Outlot C would be considered as the front lot line; the southwesterly line would be rear; <br /> and the easterly line abutting Lot 3 would be a side. The required back lot setbacks have a <br /> significant impact on house location. Substantial grading to create a house pad is proposed. <br /> Lot 4 has two septic sites that were found acceptable with the initial preliminary plat <br /> approvals. <br /> Lot S: Lot 5 also contains 2.45 total acres, of which 0.42 acre is wetland and 2.03 acres is dry <br /> buildable. With the south line being considered as front, the north line as rear, and the east <br /> line as side, the proposed house location does not meet the required back lot setbacks. The <br /> site contains two previously tested drainfield sites, and extensive grading is proposed, <br /> apparently to create a walkout site from relatively flat ground. <br /> General Site Layout Observations <br /> Due to the proliferation of wetlands surrounding and within the property, all lots except for Lot 1 <br /> have their functional buildable areas significantly reduced by the establishment of wetland <br />
