• • Surrounding Land Uses: The residents of 6509 Hokah Drive have submitted a request to require that a fence be installed on the rear of their lot to provide screening. There is some existing vegetation that will remain based on the proposed grading plan. Single-family homes will abut single-family homes along most of the easterly boundary of the plat. There is short distance of road that runs adjacent to the property line. Should Outlot A be rezoned and developed as commercial use they would be required to provide appropriate landscaping and screening to buffer affected residents. The City typically does not require buffering between single-family homes or residential streets. Shoreland Management Overlay District: All areas within 1,000 feet of the ordinary high water level (OHWL) are subject to the Shoreland Management Regulations. Nearly all of this development falls within the Shoreland Overlay, as determined by the OHW of Rice Lake, a Natural Environment Lake. Because there is public land between the proposed lots and the OHW, none of the lots are considered abutting and thus, the regulations aren't as restrictive. However, there is a 150 -foot setback requirement from the OHW for all structures. There is adequate space to meet the setbacks and accommodate a reasonable house pad on the lots adjacent to the OHW. Greenway: The draft Comprehensive Plan identifies areas for greenways. The greenway areas adjacent to this property are currently public land and thus are already protected. In addition, the wetland areas will be encumbered by a drainage and utility easement. Environmental Board Review: The Environmental Board reviewed the application and their comments are attached. Lot Size and Layout: All of the lot areas meet or exceed the standard of 10,800 square feet of buildable area, the minimum lot depth and width requirements. Outlot B is intended as a site for a sanitary sewer lift station. The area is not adequate. The City Engineer has requested an area that is a minimum of 80' x 80'. Utilities/Grading and Drainage: The office of the City Engineer has reviewed the application and comments are attached related to these items.
