Pre!iminarv' Plat Wq~ite Oak Addition Au~.ust ~ 1, ~>00'~ Page~ '~ of 3 preliminary plat has been sent to the Count; and staff will for~vard the County's comments upon receipt. It should be noted that the building siie for Lot 1 is proposed in a location surrounded by protected wetland 3~ 15V. It will therefore be necessary to fill wetland to gain access to this lot. The applicant will need to contact the Department of naruri Resources to determine whether such ~illing will be allowed. Lot Size and Dimensions: The current minimum lot size in the R-1 Rural Developing Area is 2.5 acres; the five new lots are proposed to be larger than 2.5 acres. The total area of the parcet is- 27.01 acres. Grading and Drainage: The e~ension of 158'~ Lane w/il drain overland to the cul-de-sac where two catch basins will transmit stormwater to a detention pond located on the western edge of Lot 5. The overflow from rlzis catch basin will be discharged into wetland 341 VT. A perm.it will need to be obtained from the Lower Rum River Water management Organization. The soils outside the wetland access consist of Nymore and Anoka soil types w/th one class I soil when their slopes are [ess than 12 percent. Su~2cient class I soils are present on Lots t, 4, and 5 to presume that two. suitable soil' absorption sires are available. However, Lots 2 and 3 should have a septic system site and a replacement site identified by a certified septic system designer. The proposed lowest floor elevation of Lot 1 is 868.5. The wetland elevation is appro:dmately 870. The ordinary high water elevation of the wetland and the floodplain elevation must be determined and submitted for review.. The lowest floor elevation should be above the high ~ound water e[evafion and must also be in accordance with.floodplain regulations. Utilities: All lots will be sewed by on-site sewer and water. Tree Preservation: The Prelim/nary Grading Plan identifies an area for tree preservation area. While the City currently does not have a tree preservation oridinace, we encourage you to work with CiU Staff ro identi~ additional areas for tree protection as the project goes forward. Please contact Mark Boos at (763) 433-985.3 to discuss the matter further. Park Dedication: The City's park Cledication fee is.$I,700 per omit. The City has the option for tand, cash or a combination thereof. The City's'Park and Trail Plan shows a 75' foot wide or greater trail corridor traversing west to east through this tract. A revised preliminary plat has been subrmrred that shows a 75' trail corridor traversing west to east th.rough the tract. The proposed trail is appro~ 4'dmatety 2.07 acres.
