T 1 #13-3637 January 24,2014 Page 4 Revised Landscape Plan Applicant has revised the landscape plan to provide additional screening along Willow Drive and buffering to adjacent properties. See Exhibit A(4). The new landscaping plan suggests swales rather than rain gardens for stormwater management. This needs to be resolved. Easements & Covenants Staff has reviewed the various easements and covenants that would be required and considered the possibilities for consolidating them into a more compact fortnat. A depiction of the various easements required for this plat is shown on the map in Exhibit C. As a review, here is a list of the standard easements and/or covenants that would be required of this plat: Easement Description Comments Shown on Mylars? 1 Perimeter Drainage & Shown on the mylars but not accompanied by a document. Utili Easements - 10' along exterior plat boundaries and roadways Yes (no separate document) - 5' either side of interior lot lines 2 Other Draina�e & Utility Shown on the mylars, but potentially referenced in a separate document. Easements These typically would be the areas devoted to stormwater facilities- Yes (potentially a separate ponds, rain gardens, non-wetland drainageways. document) 3 Wetland Flowage and Taken over the area of just the delineated wetland. Until the City Conservation Easement discontinued requiring buffers,the Wetland F&C Easement description Yes and depiction on mylars included the wetland as well as the required (separate document) �'etland buffer. This easement area is normally shown on the mylars as simply"Draina�e Easement" because County won't accept the term Wetland Flowage and Conservation Easement on the mylars. 4 Trail Easement 10' wide along Willow Drive - in same location as Perimeter Drainage & No (separate document) Utility Easement 5 Ci . Sewer Easement 20' wide(10' either side of existing sewer main)and ]0' either side of Yes (separate document) proposed sewer extension up to the cul-de-sac. If not exactly coincident with any other drainage and utility easement, will be shown on the plat as a"Utility Easement"and described in a separate document. 6 Tree Preservation This is functionally a conservation easement document that contains a No Easement description of the area being conserved and a set of conditions and (separate document) covenants about how it is to be conserved. * Wetland Buffer(MCWD) In this plat, MCWD is requiring a 16' buffer bordering the wetland. It (separate document) would not necessarily show up on the mylars, although MCWD might No, but request that it be described separately for the document and could be added Maybe to the mylars as part of the"Drainage Easement" if MCWD requests that City do so... Note that if the road was to be private, it would be platted as an outlot, over which the City historically has required an underlying Road, Drainage &Utility Easement as well as a covenant establishing that the neighborhood has maintenance obligations for the road. In the case of Oliver Hill,the road is proposed to be platted as a public road which automatically places the ownership and maintenance responsibilities on the City, and no easements are required.
