2 <br /> <br />Rural Development Plan – Optfon A: 30 Lots <br />After the approval of our preliminary plat for 65 units we learned that the state would not <br />approve our community septfc system. We then came back to the City Council with two optfons <br />for moving forward: a sewered 65-lot plan or a 30-lot rural subdivision. We remain open to <br />implementfng the 30-lot rural optfon. At that tfme, we requested flexibility in the following <br />areas: <br />• Wetlands and ponding allowed within lots <br />• Use of PVC in place of ductfle iron water pipe <br />• Minimum lot size: 1.5 acres (maximum density 2.5 units/acre gross) <br />• Minimum lot width: 125 feet <br />• Minimum side yard setback: 10 feet <br />• Minimum front yard setback: 30 feet (25 feet for existfng homestead) <br />• Minimum rear yard setback: 40 feet <br />• Maximum impervious surface: 25% <br />The Council’s primary concern at the tfme was the use of a rural road sectfon without a concrete <br />ribbon curb. If this remains the only objectfon, we are willing to reconsider the road design. <br />Rural Development Plan – Optfon B: 11 Lots <br />Our preferred rural alternatfve is an 11-lot large-lot subdivision. This plan creates lots ranging <br />from 5 to 10 acres, each accessed by private driveways, with individual wells and septfc systems. <br />In many respects, this plan exceeds the standards of the Rural Estate zoning district: <br />• Minimum lot size: 5 acres <br />• Minimum lot width: 150 feet <br />• Minimum side yard setback: 40 feet <br />• Minimum front yard setback: 50 feet (25 feet for existfng homestead) <br />• Minimum rear yard setback: 50 feet <br />• Maximum impervious surface: 25% <br />• Wetlands and ponding allowed within lotted areas <br />• Private driveways serving up to 6 homesites (maintained by landowners)
