The Preserve on Sunset Lake Page 5 The plans show 49 new trees be planted in the front yards and near the stormwater management pond. The applicant is also proposing to transplant a number of existing trees and relocated to the right of way along CSAH 7 in the vicinity of Lots 7, 8 and 9. Wetlands The site contains three wetlands. The wetlands were delineated within the site and the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) approved the delineation in on October 16, 2018. No wetland impacts are proposed and drainage and utility easements are provided over these wetlands. The largest wetland is a high -quality wetland located in Outlot A, the open space that will be preserved and managed by the HOA. The plans must be revised to show the delineated wetland boundaries and ensure that all wetlands are fully covered by the drainage and utility easements. Shoreland The adjacent Sunset Lake is a DNR protected water body. The shoreland overlay boundary extends 1,000 feet from the ordinary high-water level of the lake. There are some lots (Lots 2-4 and 9) that are within the boundary. The minimum lot size is 40,000 square feet and minimum lot width is 150 feet in the shoreland district. The proposed single family homes must not exceed 25 feet in height. Grading/Drainage The applicant is proposing to utilize swales, culverts and ponding for stormwater management. The applicant is showing a stormwater pond between Lots 5 and 6, Block 2. A City permit is required for the Stormwater Management Plan. The applicant is working with the City Engineer to address the outstanding issues on their stormwater management plan for the development. The applicant will need to meet all City stormwater management requirements, including appropriate storage, rate control, treatment, and volume reduction. Utilities Each home site will be served by private well and septic. Washington County has reviewed the preliminary plans and indicated that the sites are viable for septic systems. Detailed plans must be submitted to Washington County for approval prior to issuance of a building permit. Streets The site is bounded by three public streets and new public street cul de sac (Hilo Avenue Alcove North) off 125th Street North is planned to serve 11 of the 13 lots. As part of the sketch plan review, the Council asked the developer to look for a way to provide access for all the homes off this new public street, but due to existing conditions, the applicant was not able to do so. The existing house on the new Lot 9 will retain the existing driveway access on to lilies Avenue (CSAH 7) and Lot 4 is proposed to have a new driveway on 12511 Street. The City Engineer has reviewed the two new proposed access points for safety and visibility and finds them to be appropriately located.
