FA Grading/Drainage Wetlands: The site contains 1.48 acres of wetlands. The applicant is not proposing to impact the wetlands. A wetland delineation has been approved by the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP). Site Grading/Low Floor Elevations: The development contains a 1.48 acre wetland in the middle of the site. The applicant will need to verify the 100-year high water level of the wetland. Currently the proposed building elevations are required to be at three feet above the 100-year high water level. The low floor elevation is required to be four feet above the floodplain elevation and three feet above any known groundwater. Staff will continue to work with the applicant on this, if the development moves forward. Ground Water Impacts: The groundwater within the site is likely relatively high which may require additional analysis before finalizing the grading plan and low floor elevations. Soil boring will be required to determine the ground water elevation. Storm Water Management:_ The developer is proposing to have a stormwater management plan through the construction of ponds within the site. The property and area surrounding the property has some drainage issues. The stormwater management on the site should be evaluated to help solve the drainage issues. This might mean the relocation of the proposed stormwater pond as shown on site. Staff will be working with the developer, as this projects moves forward, as it relates to drainage and stormwater management. Staff recommends that the applicant evaluate 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. Park Dedication The property is served by Oak Shore Park and Bald Eagle -Otter Lake Regional Park. The applicant will be required to pay park dedication fee of $2,400 per new unit which totals $16,800. There are 3 existing lots, so 7 of the lots are considered in the total. 3. CONCLUSION/ RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Commission provide feedback on the sketch plan to the applicant on the following: 1. General Layout 2. Proposed Variance Request for Lots 8 and 9 3. Road Construction Staff is recommending an informational meeting be held with the neighborhood to discuss what a public improvement project would look like and to gage interest from adjacent properties.
