southwest corner, a stand in the northeast corner and a small stand in the northwest corner of the property. All other significant trees are to be removed from the central areas of the property as part of the grading plan and development of the site. The existing conditions sheet and grading plan identify a 0.74 acre wetland in the center of Block 2. This wetland area is not to be disturbed as part of development of this project. The wetland will be included within a drainage and utility easement that also covers drainage ponds adjacent to the wetland. Grading. The applicant has submitted grading and drainage plans for the proposed subdivision. The grading plan is subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. Parks and Trails. Outlots A and D are proposed to be dedicated as partial satisfaction of park land requirements. Outlot A provides a desired trail corridor from Main Street to the neighborhood. Connections to the park abutting the southwest corner of this parcel will be provided over the local streets. Outlot D is land dedicated to add to the existing park. The amount of the land required to be dedicated is 10 percent of the gross area of the plat or 3.37 acres. An additional amount of land must also be dedicated to offset the loss of existing parkland caused by the extension of Arlo Lane to serve the plat. The area of Outlots A and D is 0.72 acres, from which the replacement park land must be subtracted. The balance of required park dedication will be required to be satisfied in the form of a cash fee in lieu of land based upon the formula outlined in the Subdivision Ordinance. Outlots. The preliminary plat includes Outlots B and C, in addition to those being provided for park dedication purposes. Outlot B is a parcel of land fronting Street A that is intended to provide access to a land locked parcel to the south east. This land locked parcel is also intended to have frontage to 79th Street via a reserve strip that was to be dedicated to the City. Staff will need to follow up on resolution of this matter. Outlot C is a 0.07 acre parcel of land that abuts the expanded park. The outlot is being conveyed to the abutting property to the east in order to create a buffer between that lot and the park land. Utilities. Water and sanitary sewer are both proposed to be provided to serve the single family uses. Sanitary sewer and water service are shown within the rights-of-way. Storm sewer facilities are also shown on the plan. Easements have been provided at the perimeter of each lot and over all drainage facilities. All utility plans are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. Environmental Board. Comments from the Environmental Board have been received and are attached.
