8 plan sheets have been revised to remove the word “proposed” and include the recording document number. The preliminary plat plan set also shows a 66 ft wide UPA Easement along CSAH 54. It does not appear this easement is over an existing utility line. If the easement is not required, it should be vacated. The owner is corresponding with the utility company to vacate the easement. Wetlands A Wetland Delineation Report was completed by Midwest Natural Resources, Inc. on October 12, 2016. A WCA Notice of Decision (NOD) approving the wetland delineation was issued by VLAWMO on November 14, 2016. Although the NOD states the delineation is good for 3 years, staff received confirmation from VLAWMO that the NOD is actually good for 5 years. Five (5) wetlands were delineated on site.

The City will require a 75ft wide wetland buffer equivalent to the shore impact zone as a stormwater BMP. Wetland buffer widths in accordance with VLAWO’s Buffer Management Class are provided on the preliminary plat and have been approved by VLAWMO. A 75 foot wide vegetated wetland buffer equivalent to the shore impact zone area is provided along Wetland A (lake) as a stormwater management best management practice (BMP) to minimize runoff pollutants from entering the lake. The buffer extends 75 ft from the delineated wetland boundary. A wetland buffer declaration shall be recorded. The wetland buffer shall be indicated by permanent, free- standing markers. The wetland buffer widths have been adjusted according to VLAWMO policy. The driveway on Lot 2 no longer impacts the wetland buffers; therefore, a variance is not needed. A drainage and utility easement 10 feet above the delineated wetland is provided. All plan sheets have been revised to show the correct wetland buffer and drainage & utility easements.
