4 <br /> <br />primary and secondary septic sites. A flnal detailed septic design is required <br />as a part of building a new home. That design process often ends up with <br />septic systems being located in areas outside of the original 10,000 sf test <br />area. <br /> <br />8. Flexibilities and/or Possible Flexibilities <br /> <br />a. Keeping existing driveway on Inwood - We believe this is a County issue <br />and we will be meeting with the County on this and on the type of bypass <br />lane needed for our development. We assume that Lot 1, Block 1 can keep its <br />existing driveway since this was already approved by the County with the <br />previously approved preliminary plat for Highpointe Crossing. <br /> <br />b. Setback for existing home and accessory structures . We are leaving the <br />option open to sell the existing homestead as is. Much like with the <br />previously approved preliminary plat we will need a 20’ front yard set-back <br />variance to accommodate the existing homestead. In large part this is <br />needed because of dedicating additional ROW for Inwood and because the <br />RE zoning has a signiflcantly increased front yard setback from historic <br />standards. <br /> <br />c. Wetlands(Lot Area) – Including wetlands within the lotted area of lots has <br />been the past practice in all Residential Estate developments to date. There <br />is no code requirement that we could flnd requiring wetlands to be excluded <br />from lots. From what we can tell excluding wetlands has been an unwritten <br />policy of City for more recent urban development projects. It is unclear if this <br />is now applied to rural areas so we are asking for this fiexibility proactively if <br />needed. <br /> <br />d. Ponds – Although we have shown that we can accommodate ponds in <br />outlots we are also asking the City to waive this engineering policy. This <br />policy much like wetlands has been a practice used in more urban styled <br />developments but has not historically been applied in the rural areas and <br />rural developments within the City. <br /> <br />e. 3:1 Length to Width Ratio – We believe that all of the lots meet this criteria <br />when length is measured at the middle of the lot and width at the front <br />setback. If length is measured at the longest side of a lot there are three lots
