• • • Marshan Meadows page4 credited to the park dedication, as is the typical City policy. The park dedication will be $2075 x 20 new home lots = $41,500 less the cost of the sidewalks. Utilities: Water and sanitary sewer are available in Lake Drive. The water main must be constructed to the southern property boundary to allow for a future loop to the existing Shores of Marshan Lake neighborhood. The final piece of this loop will be created when the property between Marshan Meadows and Shores of Marshan develops. The existing home will be removed. The existing well must be properly capped and the existing septic system must be properly abandoned. The church on the south of the site has a septic system and well. The stormwater pond for the Marshan Meadows project must be 50 feet from these. Plans submitted in 1991 for the church's septic system show the system's drainfield approximately 90 feet from the property line. A 2002 plan shows the well 80 feet from the property line. Grading and Stormvvater Management: The plan includes two ponds which ultimately discharge to the wetlands along Marshan Lake. The Rice Creek Watershed District issued a conditional approval on January 26, 2005. However, the review was of an earlier version with six lots along the lake. The reduction of two lots on the lake and addition of a lot elsewhere likely will not significantly differ from that plan from a water quality perspective. The new plan must receive a permit from RCWD prior to city council approval of the final plat. As noted above, the site is within a shoreland overlay. No disturbance will occur within the shoreland protection area, which is one -half of the 150' setback from the OHWL. Conservation Easement: Several rare species may exist in the area: Forsters' ter, a water nesting bird, and Blanding' s turtle. The developer will provide a conservation easement as well as the normally required drainage and utility easement. Both easements will cover the same area ten feet beyond the wetland edge —but the conservation easement will include additional restrictions such as no mowing or dumping of clippings. There also will be a special packet of educational information supplied to homeowners and monuments at the property borders of all lake lots. Monument Sign: The tree and landscaping, plan shows an "entry identification sign ", which would be located on Lot 1, Block 3. The sign ordinance allows such a sign (area identification sign) to be not more than 24 sf and no higher than six feet. The area applies to the actual sign portion only, but the entire structure cannot exceed six feet in height. The developer must submit information regarding ownership and maintenance responsibilities for the monument sign. At the very latest, this must be provided for city council review of the final plat.
