Oneka Prairie Sketch Plan <br />Utilities <br /> <br />Sewer and water is available from the south property, however a sanitary sewer lift station is <br />required to be installed and is identified in the Comp Plan to somewhere along Oneka Parkway. It <br />is a trunk lift station that will serve several other properties and will be designed, installed, and <br />paid for by the City. The sanitary service coming from Fairoaks Avenue to the south has limited <br />depth to serve the western portion of the development. A majority of the development will be <br />served by the new lift station. <br /> <br />Wetlands <br /> <br />The developer has applied for approval of a wetland delineation through the City. They are <br />currently going through the City’s Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) for approval of their <br />wetland delineation on the site. A wetland replacement plan would need to be applied and <br />approved by the TEP if the developer plans to impact any wetlands on the site. This will be <br />evaluated as the project moves forward. <br /> <br />Stormwater Management/Water Re-Use <br /> <br />The developer is proposing to have a stormwater management plan through the construction of <br />ponds within the site. Staff will be working with the developer, as this projects moves forward, <br />as it relates to stormwater management and infiltration. <br /> <br />The developer has also indicated that they will be evaluating the potential of using stormwater, <br />for irrigation purposes, within the development. If the system is feasible, from a water <br />availability and design standpoint, it will require additional review and analysis as the project <br />moves forward. <br /> <br />5. CONCLUSION/ RECOMMENDATIONS: <br /> <br />Staff believes that the layout of the proposed development is generally good. The applicant has <br />done a good job providing a park area with amenities and trail connections. The developer is <br />also planning to evaluate a stormwater re-use system that uses water from the stormwater ponds <br />to irrigate the development, which is a system that is fitting with the City’s “Reduce, Reuse, <br />Replenish” initiative. The plan meets the intent of the comprehensive plan in regards to land use, <br />parks, and transportation. <br /> <br />Staff recommends the Planning Commission provide feedback to the applicant on the following: <br />1. General layout, <br />2. Lot sizes <br />3. Setbacks <br />4. Road construction. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
