property to R-1 Residential (Rural Developing). The proposed density of the project is .06 lots per acre. Staff notes the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Zoning Amendment should be applied to all parcels with those same designations lying west ofNowthen Blvd and north of 175th Ave (the "Subject Area"). The submittal did include responses to an advisory petition with some adjacent property owners supporting both of these aspects of the request. Dimensional/ Bulk Standards: The Developer must demonstrate compliance with the bulk standards of the R-1 Residential (Rural Developing) district, based on the request for a Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The Final Plat appears to comply with the standards specified for this zoning district. Wetlands: There are wetlands on the Subject Property that have been delineated. The Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization (LRRWMO) has approved a wetland delineation regarding both wetland boundaries and types for the property. It appears all wetland setbacks meet the minimum 16.5 feet and are encumbered by drainage and utility easements. Floodplain: Floodplain areas exist within the project are. They are categorized as General Floodplain or Undetermined A Zones, which means that the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) has not been modeled. It does appear that the floodplain boundary is similar to the wetland boundary. Density Transition: As proposed, the development is not subject to density transitioning standards outlined in City Code Section 117-110. Streets and Access: At this time, no new streets have been proposed. Both lots would gain access from 175th Ave NW through a shared access easement. Sidewalks/Trails: The Planned Transportation System within the 2030 Comprehensive Plan identifies a proposed Trail along 175th Ave NW. A Trail Easement should be considered as part of the approval of the Final Plat. Grading and Drainage: It does not appear that any grading activity is proposed with this project. If more than one (1) acre of land will be disturbed, a permit from the LRRWMO will be required. Landscaping: The plan does not show proposed removed trees. Each buildable lot is subject to the City's topsoil requirement. Tree Preservation: At this time, Tree Inventory and Protection plan is not required as it does not appear that any improvements are presently proposed. Development Fees: Development Fees will be due with the Plat on lot 1 (lot 2 would be exempt as there is already an existing dwelling on the property) including, but not limited to, Park Dedication, Trail Development, and Storm Water Management. These fees are collected at the time the Final Plat is recorded. Development Agreement: An executed Development Agreement will be required prior to releasing the plat for recording. An engineer's estimate for public improvements will be required with the submitted final plat. As proposed, there are no public improvements.
