and must be incorporated into other land to total ten acres or more. The conditions of • approval are listed in the resolution. • • Preliminary Plat: Resolution 01 -113 The Planning & Zoning Board reviewed this project in November 1998. The number of lots has not changed since then. The basic layout is the same. Some adjustments to easements and the trail location have occurred. Site Data and Density: The site includes 19 acres. The proposed plat would create 22 single family lots. Upland is 11 acres, wetlands cover 8 acres. Gross density would be 1.16 units per acre. Net density (upland only) would be 2.0 units per acre. Lots, Blocks: The R -1X lot size requirements are 90' width, 115' depth, 12,825 sf upland. All 22 lots meet the minimums. The setback from the street is 40', since West Shadow Lake Drive is a minor collector. This project is approximately 1320 feet long from north to south. There is no reason to break up the block into shorter lengths. No roads can enter from the east due to the Colonial Woods development. To the west is parkland and wetland. Natural Features: The tree plan was reviewed in 1998 and approved. It has not changed. A wetland mitigation plan was reviewed by the Rice Creek Watershed District. It received approval May 23, 2001. Parks and Trails: Park dedication for this project was fulfilled through the dedication of land. This occurred as part of the Miller's South Glen development. Land was dedicated to fulfill the park requirements for that development and for the future West Shadow Ponds. This land is included in Birchwood Acres Park. A trail corridor runs from West Shadow Lake Drive to the park on the new plat. This trail was originally along the north side of Lot 1 Block 1. It was moved between Lots 1 and 2 in response to concerns from residents on Fox Road. The difference between the originally planned trail corridor and the current one is a loss of 0.19 acre. The original land dedication to Birchwood Acres Park included excess land, which compensates for this 0.19 acre. Utilities: Sewer and water service will be extended down West Shadow Lake Drive from the Birchwood Acres 3`d Addn.
