I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Public Utilities Element This site plays a large role in the City's water utility. It is the location of the, City's western well field and presently contains the two largest of its four municipal wells. Additional wells are planned throughout this section in the future. A plan for the development of the water distribution system through this area is available in the City's 1994 Comprehensive Water Utility Plan. The City also has adopted a Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan, which includes this area. The City has constructed its sanitary sewer system in substantial conformance with this plan. At the present time, a 27-inch sanitary sewer is being extended into the southeastern corner of the project area. The public utilities element of the study should include the following: a) b) The proposed location and sizes of sanitary sewers and watermains consistent with the existing Comprehensive Plan. The locations of any necessary lift stations and areas that cannot be served by gravity sanitary sewer. Drainage Element This area of the City is addressed in its 1980 Storm Water Plan. Attached is a Section 28 7:lrainage plan, which conforms to the Comprehensive Plan for this area. It should be noted that a significant (although not DNR protected) wetland runs from northwest to southeast across the western half of the section. Both roadway and drainage systems should be designed with preservation of this wetland in mind. In addition to providing drainage within the study area, this element of the work will need to be expanded to include providing outlets for several landlocked wetlands which are located within one-half mile of the study area to the north and northwest. The drainage element of the study should include the following: a) b) c) d) Identification of ten-year and 100-year flood elevation on all wetlands and regional detention basins based on storm water modeling. Identification of storm sewer sizes and locations. Identification of areas within the study area where on-site detention is recommended and, the design requirements for such detention. Identification of impervious surface development limitations. Planning Element The City desires the plan to contain a high degree of cohesiveness and encourages the highest quality of development. The study should include the following: a) b) c) Identification of open space areas to be preserved and enhanced. Identification of a trail system through the study area. Identification of restrictive covenants governing the development of the area, including protection of the groundwater quality related to its wellfield usage.
