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