• • • Preliminary Plat Shoreland Ordinance: The subject site is adjacent to Marshan Lake, which is considered a Natural Environment Lake and therefore is subject to the more restrictive Shoreland Ordinance Requirements for Lot Dimensions, Impervious Surface Coverage, and Setbacks as listed below: Lot Area Lot Width Impervious Surface Coverage Setback from OHWL Abutting Non - Abutting Abutting Non- Abutting 20000 10800 80 80 30% 150 feet Lots: The lots will vary in depth from 135 feet to 260 feet (along the shoreline), and the widths will range from 80 feet to 86 feet. The lots located along Marshan Lake exceed the shoreland ordinance required 20,000 square feet of upland, and the western lots all exceed the 10,800 square foot R -1 requirement. The parsonage lot will be reduced in size to allow the other three lots west of the proposed street to meet all subdivision standards. Setbacks: The submitted plans depict all required setbacks, including the 150 foot setback from the Ordinary High Water Line as required by the Shoreland Ordinance. This setback is measured to any improvement attached to the single family dwelling, including decks and /or patios. This means that the northeast lot (indicated as Lot 1, Block 2) will be very limited in that regard. Impervious Surface Coverage: The lots will all be required to comply with the 30% Impervious Surface Coverage requirement of the Shoreland Ordinance as they develop. Streets: Stage Coach Trail will extend from the southern border to the northern border connecting The Shores of Marshan Lake and Marshan Meadows. The alignment of the street is proposed to vary slightly from the current easement granted by the church. This was necessitated by the requirement to provide 20,000 square feet of upland for each lot along the shoreline and will allow a seamless connection with the existing rights of way on either side of the project. This proposal will require the approval of an easement vacation that will need to accompany the final plat to the City Council. Conservation Easement: A Conservation Easement was supplied by the developer for Marshan Meadows and it is the city's intention to have this continued along the rest of Marshan Lake with any new development. Several rare species may exist in the area: Forsters' tern, a water nesting bird, and Blanding's turtle; which are 011 the threatened and endangered species lists. The conservation easement coincides with the drainage and utility easements required by the subdivision ordinance, both being 10 feet beyond the wetland edge. The conservation easement will include additional restrictions such as no mowing or dumping of clippings. There should also be a special packet of educational information supplied to homeowners and monuments at the easement boundary of all lake lots.
