Little Canada Planning Commission Page three 6 July 1978 5. Section 1004.010(c)(2) requires "Location and widths of utility easements." The easements shown on the applicant's preliminary plat are unclear and incomplete, i.e. Lots 12 -22 at the south property line. Section 1006.070 further requires "Easements at least a total of 12 feet wide, centered on rear lot lines, shall be provided for utilities, where necessary. They shall have continuity of alignment from block to block, and at deflection points, easements for pole -line anchors shall be provided." 6. Section 1004.010(c)(3) requires an "Indication of the proposed storm water runoff through use of arrows or notes." One of the most significant requirements with regard to this proposal is indication of drainage. Since the property in question drains to the County ditch and ultimately into Lake Gervais, the direction and flow of runoff water becomes very important, especially in light of problems previously experience in Little Canada. Drainage is also referred to in Section 1004.010(c) "Before any preliminary plan is approved by the Village Council, the information furnished with said plan must show conclusively that the area proposed to subdivided is drainable and that the land is of such nature as to make its intended use practical and feasible. If these features are not apparent, the owner shall be required to enter into an agreement guaranteeing that all adverse conditions will be corrected and that drainage will be accomplished in a satisfactory manner. The final decision in this matter shall be made by the Village Council acting upon the advice and recommendation of its Engineer or other authorized representative." 7. Section 1006.010 States "No full width street shall be less than 60 feet wide." While the proposed Beam Avenue measures 60 feet, it is labeled as 50 feet. Site Design. The following are issues which relate to the advisability of approving the preliminary plat based upon design. 1. The building designated "Mariana House" is shown as having a 30 foot setback from the newly proposed street entering the industrial area. The requirement contained in the Little Canada Zoning Ordinance calls for a side yard setback of 40 feet on corner lots. A 10 foot variance would be required if the plat were to be approved.
