REVIEW REVISED SITE PLAN FOR VILLAS OF LAKE GERVAIS RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AT 0 EDGERTON STREET The City Administrator reported that the initial Preliminary Plat application from Cara Builders included eight (8) single-family homes and was presented to the Planning Commission on July 14th and to the City Council on July 27t". He stated that based on input received from the Planning Commission and the City Council, the subdivision proposal has been modified and reduced to seven lots. He reviewed the revisions: • The total number of lots in the proposed subdivision was decreased from 8 lots to 7 with the elimination of a lot on the north end of the parcel. • An outlot was created to accommodate stormwater management. • All 7 lots now meet the R-1 district requirement for lot area, (10,000 sq. ft.), which eliminates the need for the request for this type of variance. • The watershed district continues to review the application for compliance with their requirements. The City Engineer is working closely with the watershed district in evaluating the upcoming soil borings results and next steps in approvals. • The road width of the development will likely change from 28 feet in width to 26 feet in width to reduce impervious surface and stormwater management. • The street grade has been reduced from 8.0% to 7.5% with the inclusion of a longer flat area (2.5%) near the curve and intersection with Edgerton Street. • Additional retaining walls have been added to the plan to reduce steep grades on the site. The City Engineer will continue coordinating with the Developer and his Engineer on modifications to the grading plan.
