We are also in receipt of the Preliminary Grading and <br />Erosion control Plan (Sheet C1) prepared by Plowe Engineering, Inc. dated June 23, 1999. City <br />staff offers the following comments: <br /> <br />General: The site plan proposes to develop a building for New Life Church on two lots <br />generally located east of St. Francis Boulevard, north of Rum River Hills Golf Course and Wirz <br />Nursery, and south of Trott Brook. <br /> <br />Zoning: The site is in the R-1 Rural Residential Zoning District. Churches are permitted uses in <br />all residential districts. <br /> <br />Building Size: The plan proposes a one story, 13,136 square foot building. <br /> <br />Lot Coverage: The site is 10.3 acres (450,000 square feet) in size. The maximum impervious or <br />prepared surface lot coverage is restricted to 25% (112,500 square feet). The proposed site <br />development plan complies with City Code requirements with 7.8% (35,000 square feet) <br />coverage. <br /> <br />Setbacks: The plan meets all building setbacks required by City Code, which are 40 feet in the <br />front yard, 10 feet in the side yard and 35 feet in the rear yard. The site is also subject to <br />screening and buffer setbacks (see Screening and Landscaping). <br /> <br />Utilities: The site will be served by an on-site septic system and well. The plan identifies a <br />preliminary septic system location that is 10,000 square feet in size and located east of the <br />building. The soils on this site consist of Zimmerman and Dickmann Soils, which are Class I <br />soils having only moderate limitations for soil absorption systems. City Code requires that the <br />plan identify an alternative septic system location. The plan does not do this, but given the size <br />of the site and that it is entirely made up of Class I soils, it should not be an issue. <br /> <br /> <br />
