of the development, and narrowing Oneka Parkway as it continues north. Ethan Trail is proposed to extend from Prairie Village, to the south, and connect to the main north/south connection of Oneka Parkway. The developer has proposed extending Falcon Avenue for use of the entrance to the proposed park. The developer has also included an extension of Farnham Avenue with a connection to a vacant parcel to the east. It's in staff's opinion that the road connections and access are generally good and connect existing residential developments while also planning connections to other parcels for future development. Wetlands The developer has applied for approval of a wetland delineation through the City. They are currently going through the City's Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) for approval of their wetland delineation on the site. A wetland replacement plan would need to be applied and approved by the TEP if the developer plans to impact any wetlands on the site. This will be evaluated as the project moves forward. Stormwater Management/Water Re -Use The developer is proposing to have a stormwater management plan through the construction of ponds within the site. Staff will be working with the developer, as this projects moves forward, as it relates to stormwater management, floodplain, and infiltration. The developer has also indicated that they will be evaluating the potential of using stormwater, for irrigation purposes, within the development. If the system is feasible, from a water availability and design standpoint, it will require additional review and analysis as the project moves forward. 5. CONCLUSION/ RECOMMENDATIONS: The developer has been working with staff to develop a basic concept plan for informal comments. The applicant intends to abide by single-family detached residential requirements for lots on the west side of Oneka Parkway, while requesting flexibility on lot sizes and setbacks for lots on the east side of Oneka Parkway. Staff believes that the layout of the proposed development is generally good. The applicant has done a good job providing a mix of housing products, openspace, and trail connections. The developer is also planning to evaluate a stormwater re -use system that uses water from the stormwater ponds to irrigate the development, which is a system that is fitting with the City's "Reduce, Reuse, Replenish" initiative.
