Marshan Lakeview • Page 3 • • Wetlands: Wetland exists on the southern part of the property, and would be contained within lot 1 of block 2. Appropriate easements containing the wetland areas and a 10 foot buffer are depicted on the proposed plat. Park / Open Space: The proposal does not include any land dedication for parkland, only a cash dedication will be required. Park dedication fees will be calculated as required by city policy. If the property owner were to follow the Environmental Board's recommendation of donating the wetland area at the south end of lot 1, block 2 it would not count as land dedication for parkland. Anoka County has expressed interest in the donation of the land, and if this is going to be donated it must be platted as an outlot so it can be then quit claimed to the County and subsequently combined with the adjacent County parcel. Utilities: Adequate municipal services exist within the Marshan Lane right -of -way, and all properties will be required to connect to municipal services. Grading and Drainage: Easements are required adjacent to property lines (5 feet side -yard and 10 feet front and rear - yards), and are provided. Additional easements are provided over the ponding area on the northeast corner of Lot 1, Block 2. That pond does encroach slightly into the right -of -way, however the City Engineer in his comments states that it is an allowable encroachment as long as it is minimized. The current configuration is acceptable in that regard. The City Engineer has completed a thorough review of the submitted plans, and his memorandum is attached at the end of this report. The applicant will be required to satisfy all of those comments prior to recordation. Environmental Board: The Environmental Board reviewed this proposal at the January 26, 2005 regular meeting. The comments from the board are attached to this staff report and address water run -off, buffering of the wetland, erosion control, soil compaction, saving more trees than proposed, alternatives to the cul -de -sac, and donation of wetland to Anoka County Parks.
