Deviation Requested. <br />(b) Lot Design – Lot locations and configuration should be according to the following sequence <br />of review steps. <br />(1) Soils analysis conducted – Requirement met. <br />(2) Septic design identified - Requirement met. <br />(3) Buffer areas identified - Requirement met. <br />(4) Building pad locations identified - Requirement met. <br />(5) Placement of streets - Requirement met. <br />(6) Lots identified – see bulk standard review, above. Deviation requested. <br />(7) Open Space and park land adjustments – <br />a) Open space – The total preserved open space is over 50% Requirement met. <br />b) Park land – a cash fee in lieu of land dedication is suggested for this project. <br />Requirement to be met. <br /> <br />Development Standards for OP PUDs. <br />The following development standards are created for OP PUDs by City Code Sec. 105.12.1060. <br />For any standard not strictly met by the development, a supermajority vote is required to approve <br />the project: <br />a. Preserved Open Space Standards – The Applicant has submitted an Open Space <br />Restoration Plan. That plan details the management goals, objectives, and strategies for a <br />conversion from tilled agricultural land to natural habitat. The open areas on site are <br />generally split into three categories, Upland Prairie, Wildflower Drifts, and <br />Basins/Wetlands. Vegetation is proposed in each area that is intended to be consistent with <br />the topography and plant and animal species native to the area. A conservation easement <br />shall be placed over the Open Space areas to ensure permanent protection from <br />development. After the area is graded and restored and proposed vegetation is established, <br />the HOA for this development would be responsible for maintenance of the open space <br />area, and yearly reporting to the City. If additional management is identified as necessary, <br />the HOA would be responsible. The City’s Landscape Architect has reviewed and supports <br />the restoration plan. Requirement met. <br />b. Septic Design Standards – The Applicant is proposing a community septic system. An <br />acceptable location was identified for the primary and secondary drain fields. The <br />Community Wastewater Treatment System (CWTS) plans are considered incomplete by <br />the City Engineer. Staff believe that plans can be provided that will meet applicable <br />requirements. Requirement to be met. <br />c. Building Standards – The Applicant has submitted architectural guidelines for the site and <br />elevation renderings consistent with applicable City Code design requirements. HOA <br />controls for architectural standards are more restrictive than the City’s ordinance. <br />Requirement met. <br />d. Landscaping Standards – A total of 10 trees per lot and one boulevard tree located every <br />30 feet is required. The Applicant’s plan only provides 5 trees per lot and one boulevard <br />for every 50 feet. Deviation requested. <br />e. Impervious Surface Standards – The maximum impervious surface that is allowed in the <br />development is 25% of the developable (non-open space) areas. This number includes <br />roads and trails. The Applicant is proposing an impervious coverage of 47% of the
