Review File: Brookfield 8th Addition Trail Easement Vacation, and Drainage and Utility Easement Vacation, and Final Plat. February 24, 2017; revised May 5, 2017 Page 3 of 3 Please be advised that individual lot surveys will be required to include the following information above and beyond what is typically shown: Floodplain boundary (with note of no grading within floodway), wetland, and wetland setback. Wetlands. All wetlands and land within the (16.5) Sixteen and a half foot wetland setback must be encumbered within a drainage and utility easement. This area is shown within such an easement on the Final Plat sheet; however the Preliminary Plat Sheet refers to the Wetland Setback as a Wetland Buffer. Ensure that all wetland setbacks are identified as 'Wetland Setback" rather than 'Wetland Buffer". Trott Brook. A portion of the lots will back up to Trott Brook, which is a tributary of the Rum River. Thus, the project is subject to the Scenic River Overlay District, which includes a 100 foot setback from the OHW of Trott Brook and has controlled vegetative cutting standards as well. Additionally, lands within 300 feet of the OHW of Trott Brook are subject to Shoreland Management requirements. There is a Conservation and Trail Easement encumbering significant portions of the rear yards of Lots 1-12, Block 2 that will prevent any impervious surfaces or tree/vegetation removal in proximity to Trott Brook. Tree Preservation. A Tree Inventory and Preservation Plan was submitted and approved as part of the Preliminary Plat. The Developer worked with a Certified Arborist to develop an Oak Wilt Management Plan to address the potential introduction and/or spread of oak wilt to trees outside of the clearing work. The Oak Wilt Management Plan was reviewed by the City's Environmental Policy Board, which did recommend approval of it. The proposed trenching work to sever potentially grafted root systems needs to be added to the final plan set. Provide exhibits for Lots 4-8 & 16. Block 2 and Lot 1. Block 1 (in CAD format or eauivalent. but send over as bdfl to illustrate what trees can be removed by a future homeowner. Landscaping. Each lot is required to have two (2) front yard trees installed. The plan currently shows the required two (2) front yard trees for each lot. The proposed trees are positioned in the boulevard area to serve as street trees (as spacing permits). Deciduous trees shall be at least one (1) inch in diameter and coniferous trees shall be at least five (5) feet in height. Each lot is subject to the City's topsoil requirement. Density Transitioning. Lots 1-5, Block 1 are subject to the density transitioning standards found in City Code Section 117-110. It appears that the wetland area in the rear of these lots creates a natural buffer of more than 300 feet between the existing homes in the R-1 Residential (Rural Developing) district. This satisfies the density transitioning requirements. Streets and Access. Access to the site will be gained by an extension of 168th Circle. The Planning Commission has approved a variance to cul-de-sac length for this project. Trails. The plans currently show a portion of the existing trail that would run between lots 11 and 12 of Block 2 to be removed and that a replacement trail access is proposed to run between Lots 7 and 8 of Block 2. It will be required that that proposed trail connection be ADA compliant. Development Fees. Development Fees will be due with the Plat including, but not limited to, Park Dedication, Trail Development, and Stormwater Management. These fees are collected at the time the Final Plat is recorded and at the rate in effect when the plat is recorded. Note that the lots are subject to the Water Main and Sanitary Sewer Cost Contribution/Reimbursement Agreement. Development Agreement(s): Due to the desire to commence grading and tree clearing activities prior to recording the Plat, there will be two (2) separate agreements executed. First, a Grading and Tree Clearing Agreement to address the initial activities. Then, an executed Development Agreement will be required prior to releasing the plat for recording. Each will require a separate surety for the applicable improvements.
