• • • Lots within the R -1 District must also have a minimum width of 80 feet (100 feet for corner lots) and minimum depth of 135 feet (145 feet for double frontage lots). All of the lots meet or exceed these provisions. Existing Structures. There are four existing single family dwellings within the project area. The submitted plans do not identify those that are to remain or those that may be removed. The proposed subdivision design has been laid out such that each dwelling would be located on an individual lot within required setbacks. There is a detached accessory building in the area of Lots 2 and 3, Block 1 that must be removed as it overlays lot lines and encroaches into the right - of -way. Natural Features. The subject site includes several large stands of trees throughout the property. A tree preservation plan has been submitted that indicates trees to be protected and those to be removed as part of the development. Trees to be preserved are a large stand in the southwest corner, a stand in the northeast corner and a small stand in the northwest corner of the property. All other significant trees are to be removed from the central areas of the property as part of the grading plan and development of the site. The existing conditions sheet and grading plan identify a 0.74 acre wetland in the center of Block 2. This wetland area is not to be disturbed as part of development of this project. The wetland will be included within a drainage and utility easement that also covers drainage ponds adjacent to the wetland. Grading. The applicant has submitted grading and drainage plans for the proposed subdivision. The grading plan is subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. Parks and Trails. Outlots A and D are proposed to be dedicated as partial satisfaction of park land requirements. Outlot A provides a desired trail corridor from Main Street to the neighborhood. Connections to the park abutting the southwest corner of this parcel will be provided over the local streets. Outlot D is land dedicated to add to the existing park. The amount of the land required to be dedicated is 10 percent of the gross area of the plat or 3.37 acres. An additional amount of land must also be dedicated to offset the loss of existing parkland caused by the extension of Arlo Lane to serve the plat. The area of Outlots A and D is 0.72 acres, from which the replacement park land must be subtracted. The balance of required park dedication will be required to be satisfied in the form of a cash fee in lieu of land based upon the formula outlined in the Subdivision Ordinance. Outlots. The preliminary plat includes Outlots B and C, in addition to those being provided for park dedication purposes. Outlot B is a parcel of land fronting Street A that is intended to provide access to a land locked parcel to the south east. This land locked parcel is also intended to have frontage to 79th Street via a reserve strip that was to be dedicated to the City. Staff will need to follow up on resolution of this matter.
