A noise study will be required with the PUD Preliminary Plan/Preliminary Plat. <br />3. Berm and/or any noise mitigation requirements shall be measured from rear yard <br />ground elevation near the house to top of berm or fence. <br /> <br />Environmental Review Record <br /> <br />An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) is required. The threshold computation of 205 <br />unattached units and 229 attached units is greater than one (1). <br /> <br />As discussed at the May 28, 2024 Work Session regarding a potential moratorium on residential <br />development, an Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) and master plan for the greater <br />northwest quadrant of the City is being considered. This AUAR would replace the need for an <br />individual EAW. <br /> <br />Wetlands <br /> <br />Per the May 29, 2024 Environmental Board staff report: <br /> <br />There are wetlands indicated on the proposed project site. A wetland delineation will be <br />required. Any wetland impacts related to the project will be mitigated for per Rice Creek <br />Watershed District rules. <br /> <br />The large wetland complex east of this project does extend onto the proposed project parcels <br />and is part of the Wetland Management Corridor. A vegetated buffer with an average width of <br />50 ft. and a minimum width of 25 ft. will be required per Rice Creek Watershed District rules. <br /> <br />A 50-foot buffer should be included adjacent to the County ditch system. <br /> <br />Filling and mitigating for the private ditches running along the north and south perimeters even <br />with Robinson Drive should be considered. These ditches are likely low quality wetlands, and <br />this space could be utilized to better effect by adding the space to the greenway system <br />components. <br /> <br />The proposed east/west collector street stubbed to the eastern property line appears to run <br />into a large wetland complex that lies off-site on the rural lots. This road should be rerouted to <br />run south of the wetland to minimize impacts to this Wetland Management Corridor.
