Drainage and utility easements at least ten (10) feet wide shall be provided on all exterior lot lines, and centered on common rear and side lot lines. Easements are also required around wetland and ponding areas. These drainage and utility easements are shown on the plat in conformance with City requirements. Additionally, a 100 -foot wide drainage and utility easement covers the entirety of Anoka County Ditch Ten. A separate ingress /egress easement for maintenance purposes will be required across Lot 2, Block 1, for City access to ponding areas. Floodplain. The portion of the site which bounds County Ditch Number 10 lies within a Flood Plain Zone A. This affected portion of the ditch runs generally east -west across the northern portion of the property. Zone A represents areas of 100 year flood where base flood elevations have not been determined. The City's Floodplain Management Ordinance requires that all principle structures be located no lower than one foot above the regulatory flood protection elevation. The remainder of the project is locate in Zone C, a non -flood plain area, and no impacts to the flood plain are proposed as a result of the project. Wetlands.

Minnesota Rules Chapter 4410.4300, subpart 14 requires the preparation of an EAW for industrial and commercial projects that exceed a gross floor space threshold of 300,000 sq.ft. for 3rd or 4th class cities. Because subdivision of the property provides the potential for this threshold to be exceeded, an EAW has been prepared. The EAW was reviewed by the City's Environmental Board on July 30th, and approved by the City Council for distribution and comment on July 14, 2003. The required 30 -day public comment period ended on August 20tH Minnesota Statute 16D.04 prohibits final decisions on a proposed project until a negative declaration on the need for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is made.
