Add precautionary steps to be taken on site to protect oak trees from Oak Wilt and/or reference said plan and that it is incorporated by reference. 3. Revise the Lot Elevation Table to indicate the 100-year elevation as 871.5 feet and add a column that indicates the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation,which in this case,would be 872.5 feet. 4. The required wetland setback must be encumbered with drainage and utility easement. Adjust the easement boundary to ensure it includes 16.5 foot wetland boundary. Sheet 4 1. Add note that all tree clearing activities shall occur prior to April 15 or after July 15 to minimize the potential introduction of Oak Wilt to the site. 2.

Create an individual exhibit for Lots 4-8& 16,Block 2 and Lot 1,Block 1 that clearly indicates trees that must be retained throughout the development process but that can Staff provides the following comments for general review of applications: General. The Preliminary Plat proposes re-platting Oudot A,Brookfield 2nd Addition and the adjacent parcel to the south (PID No.09-32-25-44-0017)into twenty-six(26) single family residential lots. All twenty-six(26) of the new lots would be accessed by the extension of 1681h Circle NW. Lot Sizes. The minimum lot size in the R-1 Residential District(MUSA)is 10,800 square feet with a minimum lot width of 80 feet (90 feet for corner lots), measured at the building setback line. City ordinance now also requires that each lot have an area sixty (60) feet wide by one hundred (100) feet deep not encumbered by wetland, wetland setback area, floodway, or other unbuildable areas. Note that lot width is measured at the property line abutting a street at the minimum setback line of the applicable zoning district. Lots 1-10(inclusive)block 1 and lots 15 and 16 block 2 are proposed at a front yard setback of twenty five(25) feet. As such a variance would be necessary as City Code requires a front yard setback of thirty(30) feet. The Applicant has submitted an additional application for a variance for deviation from the front yard setback. Lots 1,3 and 4,Block 1 and Lot 16 Block 2 do not meet the requirement of sixty (60)feet wide by one hundred(100)feet deep Of area not encumbered by wetland, wetland setback area,floodway, or other unbuildable areas. Lot 16, Block 2, and Lot 1 Block 1 have considerable side yards where property improvements such as an accessory building could be placed.As such, Staff would be supportive of a variance for lot 16 block 2, and lot 1 block 1. Lots 3 and 4, Block 1 do not have adequate alternative space to support a variance.It may be viable to combine lots 3 and 4 block 1 into a single lot which would allow for additional side yard space similar to lot 16 Block 2, and Lot 1 Block 1. Staff may support this alternative, but retain final recommendation until such a proposal is provided and able to be officialyreviewed. Setbacks and Dimensional Standards.
