5 Stormwater Management There are 26 acres of ponds noted in the concept plan. Existing ditches and wetlands on the parcels are currently managing stormwater. Native vegetation buffers should be included around all ponds. Greenway System and Trails The proposed project site is noted in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan as being part of the Greenway System Plan, with Natural Resource Enhancement Area noted specifically. This site provides opportunity for the creation of a multi-functional greenway corridor that incorporates many attributes into one comprehensive design, including: • Interconnected trail system and parks • Protected open space and natural areas • Wetlands, including Wetland Management Corridor and buffers • Major and minor drainage routes and other elements of the local surface water management system (including stormwater ponds) • Floodplain management Per the 2040 Parks, Greenways and Trails System Plan, local and regional trails are proposed along both the north and south side of CSAH 14 (Main Street).

Pedestrian connection and trails to Sunset Avenue are provided at the street and northwest corner of the site. The existing trail in Century Farm North near 7836 Century Trail shall extend to the east into the development. A trail to Robinson Drive currently exists between proposed Lots 30-31. This will provide connectivity to the park land in Century Farm North. Wetlands There are wetlands indicated on the proposed project site. A wetland delineation will be required. Any wetland impacts related to the project will be mitigated for per Rice Creek Watershed District rules. The large wetland complex east of this project does extend onto the proposed project parcels, and is part of the Wetland Management Corridor. A vegetated buffer with an
