3 <br /> <br />In 2021, City Code Chapter 1011, Stormwater, Erosion and Sediment Control required each lot <br />to have it’s own stormwater pond for stormwater management. The original preliminary plat <br />and grading plans complied with this City code. <br /> <br />In 2023, City Code Chapter 1011 was amended to exempt single-family residential subdivisions <br />less than seven (7) lots from stormwater management requirements. <br /> <br />• City Code Section 1011.011(2) Exceptions: <br /> <br /> (d) Stormwater Management Requirements do not apply to single-family residential <br />subdivisions creating seven or fewer lots that: <br /> 1. Establish no new public roadway; and <br /> 2. Includes no private roadway/driveway serving three or more lots. <br /> <br />Now, each individual lot is not required to have a stormwater pond. This results in less tree <br />removal and no future stormwater pond maintenance. The applicant has submitted revised <br />grading plan compliant with current code. <br /> <br />Easement Vacation <br /> <br />As required, drainage and utility easements were dedicated on the Lake Amelia Woods final <br />plat over the stormwater ponds. These easements will be vacated since the stormwater ponds <br />are not required. The City Council will hold a public hearing on the vacation. New easements <br />will be dedicated on the Lake Amelia Woods 2nd Addition final plat. <br /> <br />Public Land Dedication <br /> <br />No new lots are being created; therefore, no additional public land dedication or fees are <br />required. <br /> <br />Wetlands/Floodplain/Shoreland Management <br /> <br />A 75 ft wide vegetated wetland/shoreline buffer declaration along Wetland A (lake) was <br />recorded with the original Lake Amelia Woods final plat as a stormwater management best <br />management practice (BMP) to minimize runoff pollutants from entering the lake. The buffer <br />will also help stabilize the shoreline, reduce erosion and support aquatic plants and wildlife. <br />One (1) access opening through the wetland buffer to the lake no greater than twenty (20) ft <br />wide is allowed per lot. No structures, not even water-orientated accessory structures, are <br />allowed in the 75 ft wide wetland/shoreline buffer zone. <br /> <br />This buffer will remain in place and will not change with the proposed revised grading plan. <br /> <br />Current Single Family House Construction <br /> <br />Page 69 of 145
