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

He stated that the Preliminary Plat is focused on giving approval to layout with specific agreements and construction plans approved with Final Plat. He thanked the developer for their cooperation throughout this process which has helped to make the process run smoothly. Councilmember Kuzma asked if there will be a sidewalk as part of the process. Community Development Director Gladhill replied that all public streets will have a sidewalk on one side of the street. Councilmember Kuzma stated that his concern would be because the density is tight, future homeowners may have guests and parking may be tight with only allowing parking on one side City Council / June 13, 2017 Page 9 of 15
