Weston Estates Preliminary Plat & Final Plat Page 5 Wetlands/Floodplain The applicant has not completed a wetland delineation of the site. City staff will required a wetland delineation to be completed at the time of development of any of the proposed parcels. Much of the property within the plat is within the floodplain. Floodplain, including the floodplain elevation, will need to be further evaluated upon development of any of the proposed parcels. Utilities The occupied properties are all served by private well and septic systems and currently, do not have access to City utilities. The properties are within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA), which means the properties are eligible to receive City utilities in the future. According to our municipal sewer and water service plan, the proposed plat is planned to be served by a 33 inch trunk sanitary sewer pipe and 12 inch watermain that is planned to be located along 165th St. The City's Comprehensive Plan also indicates that the proposed plat is within a search area for a future well location. Upon development of the site, City staff will further evaluate adequately supplying the area with City utilities. Park Dedication Park dedication is required of all land subdivided for residential purposes. The applicant has not created any new lots, therefore, it not required to dedicate parkland or pay any park dedication fees for the plat. 6. CONCLUSION: The applicant is proposing a plat to clean up miscellaneous parcels with lot combinations and property line adjustments. Many of the existing parcels do not meet FUS zoning district standards for lot requirements or setbacks. It is in staff's opinion that the proposed plat is reducing existing non -conformities and is a good way to attain greater compliance of the FUS zoning district standards. The applicant is not proposing to develop the property. At the time this area develops, further evaluation will need to occur regarding streets/access, drainage/grading, wetlands/floodplain, and utilities.
