BACKGROUND
The City Council approved the preliminary plat for Marshan Meadows on May 9, 2005
with Resolution 05 -61. Marshan Meadows is a 20 -lot residential development on Lake
Drive.
The final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat. The City Attorney has
reviewed the title commitment. The City Engineer has prepared the development
agreement.
The approval of the preliminary plat included a condition for a conservation easement
along the lake. The proximity of a nesting area for a rare species, the Forsters' tern,
makes it important to protect the wetlands and the lake. This bird has been documented
as nesting in wetlands in the Marshan Lake area. The conservation easement coincides
with our standard drainage and utility easement over the wetlands that line the lake. The
easement prohibits such things as mowing and dumping of grass clippings or fill. There
will be signs along the easement edge so the homeowners know where it is.
