Building design may be limited to something less than a full basement or look-out <br /> design. Depending on further study, there is a potential slab-on grade foundations may be <br /> necessary. <br /> While not specifically included in this application,the existing remaining property at 1545 Maple <br /> Place will also be impacted by the plat. The applicant is proposing to create three new lots by <br /> utilizing the vacant portions of the property. The existing buildings which encroach into <br /> proposed Lot 1 will have to be removed. Further 1545 Maple Place will be a 50 foot wide 9,000 <br /> square foot lot. This lot will also be subject to the statute which allows it to continue to exist as <br /> a buildable lot, however it will be limited to 25% hardcover and not 30% as the City Code and <br /> lake setback zone would dictate; 1,350 square feet of structure and 2,250 square feet of <br /> hardcover would be allowed. <br /> � Storm Water• <br /> The applicant's property is identi�ed in Orono's Surface Water Mana�ement Plan (Jan 2011) as � <br /> being located within a drainage area (NA-9) which is a sub-part of the North Arm drainage area. <br /> Because this property is at the low point of the neighborhood drainage area storm water � <br /> facilities would be appropriately located within these properties to serve the neighborhood and <br /> the subject properties. Ideally, a storm water pond would be constructed that would then be <br /> piped to the north where it would discharge near the right-of-way upon which Sandy Beach is <br /> locatecl. Sizing of a pond will require engineering work to analyze the drainage area needs and <br /> the potential impact, if any, on development of these properties. It is unknown at this time if <br /> • that pond could be linear and located along the western boundary of the properties in the <br /> existing depression or whether some other configuration is appropriate. Given that this study <br /> has not been completed it is difficult to assess the impact a pond would have on these <br /> properties. From the information identified by the City Engineer it is evident that more time is <br /> needed to discuss with the applicant and their engineer the potential impacts of storm water <br /> management on this plat. <br /> Fees and Other Char�es: <br /> Stormwater Drainage Trunk Fee — The 2011 Fee Schedule assigns $4,990 per acre for <br /> developments within residential districts zoned % acre or less. The property is 1.239 acres in <br /> area. 1.239 x$4,990=$6,185.95. <br /> Metropolitan Council SewerAvailability Charge—The Met Council's 2011 rate is$2,230 per unit. <br /> The applicant is�proposing to connect three properties therefore the cost due at the time of <br /> connection would be$6,690(3 x$2,230=$6,690). <br /> Sewer Connection Charges — The sewer connection charges were assessed for existing Lots 8 <br /> through 13 with the 1965 sewer project. No City sewer connection charges will be due at the <br /> time of connection. <br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br />
