• Agenda Item 5B • • Environmental Board Meeting Date: November 28, 2007 Topic: Vaughan's First Addition /Outlot D /Preliminary Plat/Environmental Site Plan Review. Background: Vaughn's First Addition is located in an area that was proposed for platting in 2004. At that time, there was an extensive study (EAW) to look at impacts from proposed development from the north end of Roughed Grouse Road to the island in Wards Lake, connected by a bridge. After the decision was made that there would be no adverse impacts, the project was approved. However, the developer at that time decided not to construct the bridge connection. The developer and land owner now wishes to develop one lot at the end of Rough Grouse Road. Request Owner requests to subdivide existing parcel into two parcels called Lot 1, and Outlot A. In addition, the owner wishes to build a single family residence on Lot 1. Site Data Lot 1 is a 3.38 acres parcel. Outlot A is 27.29 acres total (Attachment 1). The site is serviced with Sanitary Service and Water (Attachment 4). The lot and outlot are within a City Shoreland Overlay District. The Site is tributary to CD25 and Wards Lake. Wards Lake is classified as a natural resources lake. Wards Lake is a state protected water body. Houses built within a Shoreland Overlay District must meet the requirements as specified in the ordinance. For example, the lake side of any part of the structure on a sewered residential lot must be no closer than 150 feet from the ordinary high water level on a natural resources classified lake. Within all overlay district areas, there is a "shore impact zone." The shore impact zone means land located between the ordinary high water level of a public water and a line parallel to it at a setback of 50% of the structure setback. At least 70% Of the shore impact zone area of new developments must be preserved in its natural or existing state.
