City Planner Anderson stated that it is a challenging site to work with and rather than entirely <br /> regrading the site, this would seem to be the best fit. He was unsure that this had been done with <br /> any other single family residential development. He stated that it has been done with multi- <br /> family developments. He stated that this will be a good exploration and could be an element that <br /> could be built into future road projects. He stated that enforcement will probably be built into an <br /> annual inspection. He noted that a maintenance schedule was borrowed from the conservation <br /> district and the number of species will be limited to make maintenance easier. He stated that this <br /> will be a pilot project that will provide the City with additional information for the future. <br /> Councilmember Johns asked the downside if someone does not maintain the rain garden. <br /> City Planner Anderson noted that financial surety would be in place to ensure that the rain <br /> gardens are designed and installed correctly. He noted that the rain gardens would fall within the <br /> drainage and utility easement and therefore that could be used as enforcement. He confirmed <br /> that this would be an element of the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization permit <br /> as well. <br /> 1. Final Plat <br /> 2. Development Agreement <br /> 3.
