Mitigation sites are proposed to be fenced off after grading is completed to restrict construction traffic. If soils are to be brought to the site they must be consistent with existing soil types. Utilities. The City Engineer has completed review of the Utility Plans. His comments, dated July 3, 2002, are attached. Sanitary Sewer is proposed to be extended to the site from its existing location in Sherman Lake Road, north of Birch Street. Water will be provided by connection to the existing 16" trunk water main lying adjacent to the property on the south side of Birch Street. The water main is proposed to be looped back to the system by crossing Birch Street at Pheasant Hills Drive. Adequate capacity exists in the sanitary sewer system to service the proposed development. In addition, the Black Duck Lift Station, which services the area, is scheduled for replacement in 2003. Drainage and Utility Easements. Drainage and Utility easements are proposed being five feet in width and adjoining lot lines, and 10 feet in width and adjoining street lines and rear lot lines as required. Drainage and Utility easements covering the 100 year High Water Level and those covering underground storm sewers are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. Easements should be provided to access all pond and wetland areas. Specifically, an easement should be provided for access to Outlot F and covering the emergency pond overflow on Lot 6, Block 8. Parkland Dedication. The Park Board discussed the proposed subdivision at its February 4, 2002 meeting. The board is recommending 100% cash payment in lieu of parkland dedication. As explained in the Public Services Director's February 5, 2002 memo (attached) the proposed development lies outside the planning limits of the Comprehensive Park and Trail System Plan. The Park Board looked at several alternatives and recommended the payment in lieu as the preferred option. Floodplain. Portions of the site lie within a Flood Plain Zone A. Zone A represents areas of 100 year flood where base flood elevations have not been determined. The City's Floodplain Management Ordinance requires that all principal structures be located no lower than one foot above the regulatory flood protection elevation. The submitted grading plan identifies proposed 100 year High Water Level elevations. The Rice Creek Watershed District's 1998 Calibration Study identifies the regulatory flood elevation for this area as 887.6. As currently proposed, all lot pads are located entirely above this elevation and all first floor elevations satisfy the flood plain requirements. The proposal is subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer and Rice Creek Watershed District. If the proposed subdivision is approved, the Developer will be required to make application to FEMA for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) or Stoneybrook Page 5
