Wetlands. The northwestern and southwestern portions of the property are located within large protected wetland areas. The proposed subdivision will need to address erosion control, grading, and drainage control. No excavation or filling may occur within the wetland areas, unless mitigation occurs. The project will require approvals from the DNR, Watershed District, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in addition to City approval. Lot Size and Setbacks. The City's minimum lot width and size requirements are met by the proposal. All homes to be built must set at least 30 feet back from road right -of -ways, and rear lot lines, and 10 feet back from side lot lines. Easements. The Subdivision Ordinance requires easements for utilities of at least six feet in width to be provided along all lot lines. Lot Access. Lots will be accessed from a proposed cul -de -sac that intersects with Edgerton Street. The subdivision ordinance requires that cul -de -sacs be no longer than 500 feet in length. The proposed cul -de -sac is roughly 800 feet long, therefore a variance from the City's minimum requirement must be applied for. However, due to the existing topography and wetlands, the layout of the cul -de -sac may be appropriate. Elevations are too steep to extend Sunrise Drive from the south. Utilities. The City Engineer and Public Works Director will have to review the proposed subdivision to determine utilities impacts for adequacy in this area. SUMMARY The Planning Commission is asked to review these and other issues toward the objective of giving direction to the developer to proceed toward a Preliminary Plat application. The Preliminary Plat application should be submitted by June 29, 1993, and include the following: Grading and Drainage Plans; A Utilities Plan; And a Landscape and Tree Preservation Plan. cc: Kathy Glanzer John Palacio Dave Harris Mike Lynch Fred Schletty David Sorenson 2 Page 42
