Payments to support utility service to these lots will be addressed as with any development. Staff recommends finding that the project meets these Interim MUSA Reserve and Infill Policy criteria. ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD The Environmental Board reviewed the project and made recommendations on September 23, 1998. Those recommendations (see attached memo) can be summarized as: 1. Site planning should consider infiltration design, soil mixing practices, and native wetland vegetation. 2. Consider deed restrictions for wetland buffer areas. 3. Consider requiring individual builders to follow soil mixing practices in yards. 4. Consider a new ordinance requiring standards for soil preparation. 5. The grading plan should include a tree preservation plan. Much of the site will be wetlands which will be covered by typical drainage easements. The tree plan has been reviewed and approved by the Environmental Specialist. The City has no soil mixing policies. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD ACTION The P & Z approved the rezoning, MUSA allocation, and preliminary plat on November 12, 1998. The P & Z included conditions attached to the approval of the preliminary plat, including: 1. The preliminary utility plan is reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. 2. The City Engineer shall review and comment on the capabilities of 62nd St. and whether the funding and resources available is sufficient to support upgrade of 62nd St. 3. The grading plan is reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. The plan may be subject to modification to provide for the maximum number of trees to be preserved.
