Hugo Gardens Page 7 Mechanical Equipment Screening All ground-level mechanical units shall be low profile and located to the side or rear of the building and shall be screened from view of adjacent properties. The applicant shall provide additional information to show how this condition will be met. Trash/Recycling The applicant indicates that each unit will have their own trash/recycling containers and will be managed by the apartment manager. Wetlands The wetlands on site were delineated when the property was platted. There are no direct wetland impacts proposed. However, the construction limits are shown at the edge of the wetland where retaining walls are proposed. The developer will need to work closely with City staff to design the retaining wall construction plan to ensure no impact. Grading/Drainage The applicant is proposing to use stormwater management ponds to meet stormwater requirements. The plan includes new ponds on the west side of Outlot B and on Outlot D, LaValle Fields First Addition. The City engineer will continue to work with the applicant to ensure that rate and volume control rates are being met. It appears that the pond is being sized in order to provide stormwater management for the development, Finale Avenue, and a small portion of Lions Park, however a breakdown of impervious area will be needed to confirm. The City is currently planning a water reuse system that would take stormwater from the pond located in the northwest quadrant of Oneka Parkway and CSAH 8. This project is proposed to irrigate the CSAH 8 median and boulevard areas, Lions Park, City Hall, Finale Boulevards (new segment) and 147th Boulevards (new segment). To fulfill infiltration requirements, Hugo Gardens is proposing to participate in the costs associated with the water reuse project. Since this water reuse system will not be in place at the time of project approvals, use of the credits generated from previous water reuse projects could be used for this project. The Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan is currently being finalized and will be brought forward to the City Council and Rice Creek Watershed District for approval. The developer shall evaluate the feasibility of a stormwater reuse project for the development. If a stormwater reuse project is feasible, as evaluated by the City, it shall be constructed. This may include the connection to another stormwater reuse system. As part of the final plat application, the developer and the City shall agree on a cost share for stormwater management and stormwater reuse. The applicant is proposing to vacate the existing drainage and utility easement in the west portion of the lot and provide new easements with the final plat. The existing easement is for a stormwater pipe from the senior housing site that applicant will relocate. The easement vacation application must be filed with the final plat application.
