General Site Characteristics This site is on the northeastern side of Maxwell bay. It has a wooded slope near the lakeshore and pasture with wetlands on the non-lake portion of the property.There is an existing home, guest house, and barn located on the property,all which will remain following the subdivision; the setbacks and area requirements are met. The existing driveway configuration will remain, described above. The Conservation Design Report by Jacobson Environmental(see Exhibit H) provides a more detailed overview of the natural site characteristics.According to the report,the owner will be implementing a 20-foot wide no-cut buffer along all proposed lot lines(10-feet on either side)to preserve the existing trees for screening.Significant trees may only be cut if they are diseased or damaged,and will be replaced at a 2:1 ratio. The Report states that reed canary grass was identified within the wetland basins on proposed Lot 2,and no management is proposed. Planning Commission should review the Report and discuss the recommendations. Hardcover Allotment and Tier Assignment.The entire property is within Hardcover Tier 1 allowing 25% impervious surface. Per the tier assignment methodology established in 78-1701, all proposed lots will remain within Tier 1. Each of the lots exceed the area requirement limiting structural coverage. Air conditioning units serving the existing Dayton home are shown on the west side of the new lot line.These units should be relocated to be within the boundaries of Lot 2.
