Settlers West Planning Case #04-05 February 17, 2004 Page 2 PROPOSAL/SUMMARY The project site is adjacent to the Settlers Ridge development and Richard T. Anderson Conservation Area in Eden Prairie. To the south is the Moon Valley mining operation as well as Minnesota River Valley bluffs. To the west is the Hennepin County Regional Trail and the Deerbrook subdivision. Access to the site is proposed via local streets in Eden Prairie which connect to Pioneer Trail. Sewer and water service is proposed by the City of Eden Prairie. The site is heavily vegetated in the southern portion of the property and on all the bluffs. Bluff areas surround the south side of the property. Wetlands exists on and adjacent to the property. The developer requires a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to permit the extension of sewer and water service from Eden Prairie. Currently, the property is located within the 2020 Metropolitan Urban Services Area (MUSA) as shown in the City's 2020 Comprehensive Plan. Due to the topographically isolated nature of the site, surrounded on the west, south and southeast by bluff areas, it would be very difficult and require significant environmental impacts to service this property through the City of Chanhassen. During the 1998 Comprehensive Plan Update, the Zwiers had requested to be included in the MUSA earlier than the projected year of 2015. At the time, staff was reluctant to remove any property from the City's service area. The Council concurred and the property was given a 2015 MUSA staging. Over the last few years, staff has examined service costs and different development scenarios. Because of the existing bluff line, there are two different development areas, the gravel pit below and the area above the bluff. If the site were to be developed with Chanhassen utilities, a road would have to be built between 212/Flying Cloud Drive and Pioneer Trail. This road would become a collector street based on the need for a north-south connections. This road would also have an impact on the bluff because of substantial grading. Therefore, staff agreed to work with Eden Prairie to provide utilities to service the upper bluff area. Since urban services are available through the Settlers Ridge development to the east and because access and urban services will be extended with the development of the lots in Eden Prairie, staff recommends that the project site be included in the 2000 MUSA. Rezoning the property from A2, Agricultural Estate District, to RSF, Single Family Residential District, is consistent with the comprehensive plan and is therefore recommended for approval. The developer is requesting subdivision approval to create a 61 lot single-family development (48 in Chanhassen), 3 outlots (one in Chanhassen), and public right-of-way with a variance for street width; and a Wetland Alteration Permit to fill and alter wetlands on site. Staff is concerned about the excessive grading of the property proposed as part of the current submittal. The developer has not provided sufficient detail regarding the storm water sewer for adequate review and evaluation. Additionally, it appears that not all lots comply with the minimum requirements of the City of Chanhassen. Wetland replacement shall occur in a manner consistent with the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (MR 8420). The plans shall be revised to show wetland impacts and replacements. Due to the significant changes to the plat that will result with the revisions required, staff is recommending that the development be tabled and revised plans incorporating these changes be submitted. Settlers West Planning Case #04-05 February 17, 2004 Page 3 APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Chapter 18, Subdivisions. Chpater 20, Article VI, Wetland Protection Chapter 20, Article XII, "RSF" Single-Family Residential District Chapter 20, Article XXVIII, Bluff Protection BACKGROUND A communication tower exists on the property. This tower and equipment building will need to be removed as part of the development. WETLANDS Existing Wetlands Ten wetlands exist on-site (Wetlands A through J). Of those, two ag/urban wetlands (E and G) and two natural wetlands (I and J) exist on the Chanhassen portion of the site. Wetland H is located in Chanhassen just off the northwest portion of the property along the Hennepin County Regional Trail Corridor. Westwood Professional Services, Inc. delineated the wetlands in December 2003. Wetland E is a Type 3 wetland located in the north central portion of the property. The wetland is dominated by cattail and reed canary grass. The wetland was apparently created as a result of clay mining. The applicant is proposing to fill Wetland E. It appears that this will accommodate road placement; however, the wetland delineation is not shown on the construction plans. The grading plan should be revised to show existing wetlands that are proposed to be impacted. The total proposed impact to Wetland E is 13,330 square feet (0.31 acres). The applicant is seeking an incidental wetland exemption for this wetland fill. Wetland G is a Type 2 wetland located in the northeastern portion of the property. The wetland is dominated by reed canary grass. The wetland was farmed historically, but has not been cultivated for a number of years. The applicant is proposing to fill the wetland. The total proposed impact to Wetland G is 4,053 square feet (0.10 acres). The applicant has not provided details on wetland mitigation for this proposed impact. Wetland H is a Type 2 wetland located just off the northwest portion of the property along the Hennepin County Regional Trail Corridor. The wetland is dominated by switch grass and fowl bluegrass. The applicant is not proposing to impact this wetland. Wetland I is a Type 7 wetland located in the extreme southwest portion of the property. The wetland is dominated by sedge, cattail and willow. The applicant is proposing to discharge pretreated storm water into this basin. Settlers West Planning Case #04-05 February 17, 2004 Page 4 Wetland J is a Type 7 wetland located in the extreme southwest portion of the property. The wetland is dominated by green ash, rough horsetail and reed canary grass. The applicant is proposing to discharge pretreated storm water into this basin. On December 29, 2003, City staff conducted an on-site review of the delineations for Wetlands E, G and H. Westwood's delineation was confirmed by staff. Wetlands I and J were not field verified on December 29, 2003. Staff will field verify these wetlands in the spring if the final plans involve the discharge of pretreated storm water into these basins. Wetland Replacement Wetland replacement must occur in a manner consistent with the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (MR 8420). The replacement plans should show fixed photo monitoring points for replacement wetlands. A five-year wetland replacement monitoring plan should be submitted. The applicant should provide proof of recording of a Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants for Replacement Wetland. The applicant must receive approval of a wetland replacement plan prior to wetland impacts occurring. The developer should evaluate the potential to mitigate for Wetland G on the northern portion of the site. Staff encourages the developer to include mitigation for impacts to Wetland G on the Eden Prairie portion of the site. A wetland buffer 0 to 20 feet in width (with a minimum average of 10 feet) must be maintained around Wetlands E and G and wetland mitigation areas. A wetland buffer 10 to 30 feet in width (with a minimum average of 20 feet) must be maintained around Wetlands I and J. Those buffers considered for public value credit (PVC) must maintain a minimum width of 16.5 feet. Wetland buffer areas should be preserved, surveyed and staked in accordance with the City's wetland ordinance. The applicant must install wetland buffer edge signs, under the direction of City staff, before construction begins and must pay the City $20 per sign. BLUFFS A large portion of the site has been identified as bluff (i.e., slope greater than or equal to 30% and a rise in slope of at least 25 feet above the toe). These areas must be preserved. In addition, all structures must maintain a 30-foot setback from the bluff and no grading may occur within the bluff impact zone (i.e., the bluff and land located within 20 feet from the top of a bluff). The preliminary grading, drainage and erosion control plan shows grading within the bluff on Lot 35 and within the bluff impact zone on Lots 12-17, 21, 25-26, 29-35 and 37-46. The plans should be revised to eliminate grading within the bluff and bluff impact zone. A conservation easement should be recorded over the bluffs and bluff impact zones. The developer should work with staff to develop and install appropriate markers to demarcate the bluff impact zone. Extending parcel boundaries into the bluff and ravine areas often provides future homeowners with the impression that they can alter their land in the bluff areas, as well as use them for yard waste disposal. The designation of bluff and ravine areas as outlots is recommended to limit this activity. A large amount of debris (including old cars, tires and applicances) has been discarded in the bluff areas of this parcel. The applicant should work with City staff to develop a plan for bluff management. The Settlers West Planning Case #04-05 February 17, 2004 Page 5 plan should include an assessment of the stability of bluff areas, an inventory of the discarded materials, a plan for the clean-up of bluff areas and a restoration plan for critical and/or severely eroded areas. The plan should also address reclamation of the Moon Valley site. The bluff management plan should be implemented prior to or concurrently with subdivision construction. GRADING~ DRAINAGE AND EROSION CONTROL The existing site over the Chanhassen lots has tree cover over approximately 10 acres. The existing bluff limit line surrounds all sides except a small portion at the northeasterly and northwesterly sides along the property lines. The plans propose to grade about 60% of the site for the new house pads, a proposed street, two cul-de-sacs and stormwater ponds. The proposed grading will prepare the site for full basement, look-out and walk-out house pads. Staff is concerned with the amount of grading that is proposed on Lots 20-25 and Lot 30. Between 6'-15' of fill is being proposed on these lots in order to raise them in elevation to create walk-out lots. Due to the environmentally sensitive nature of the site, staff would recommend that the developer work with the existing topography and minimize grading in the area mentioned. The existing site drainage is encompassed within three different drainage areas. Under existing conditions, the northern part of the site drains off-site to an existing wetland to the north; the west/southwest portion of the site drains off-site to the County Railway corridor and eventually south to a tributary creek of the Minnesota River; the east/southeast portion of the site drains off-site over the existing bluff to the east. Under developed conditions, the applicant is proposing to capture all of the street drainage and all of the front-yard drainage. This stormwater will be conveyed via storm sewer to proposed ponds in the easterly and westerly center of the site for treatment. The proposed ponds must be designed to National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) standards with maximum 3:1 slopes and a 10:1 bench at the NWL. The outlet for the ponds is a proposed "cross-country storm sewer". This storm sewer extends, approximately, one-half mile south to the existing tributary creek of the Minnesota River. Due to future access and maintenance issues associated with such a long storm sewer pipe, staff is investigating alternative designs for the pond outlet. Staff is also recommending that the grading plan be revised to decrease and/or eliminate the draining of storm water from Settlers West Road and Explorer Trail in Eden Prairie to the pond in Chanhassen. This would in turn, decrease the size of Pond 3 and decrease the amount of stormwater that goes off-site to the southern creek. In order to prevent future erosion issues with the many bluffs adjacent to the site, staff is recommending that a combination berm/swale and storm sewer system be designed for the rear yards of lots adjacent to the bluffs. Through a combination of swales and storm sewer, the rear yard drainage would be carried to the ponds while a small berm along the bluff setback line would prevent stormwater from flowing over the bluff. These design measures would greatly reduce the chance of a "wash-out" or other severe erosion problems on the bluff. Drainage calculations for the site have been submitted and only minor changes remain. The applicant is required to meet the existing site runoff rates for the 10-year and 100-year, 24-hour storm events. Storm sewer sizing calculations must be submitted prior to final plat application. The storm sewer must be sized for a 10-year, 24-hour storm event. Drainage and utility easements must be dedicated on the final plat over the public storm drainage system including ponds, drainage swales, and wetlands up to the Settlers West Planning Case #04-05 February 17, 2004 Page 6 100-year flood level. This includes the large drainage swale in the rear yard of Lots 32-40. The minimum easement width must be 20-feet wide. Because of the sensitive nature of the site, staff recommends that Type III silt fence be used around the perimeter of the entire site. In addition, tree preservation fencing must be installed at the limits of tree removal. Erosion control blankets are recommended for the steep slopes in the rear yards of Lots 7-12, 20-24, and Lot 30. All disturbed areas, as a result of construction, must be seeded and mulched or sodded immediately after grading to minimize erosion. A 75-foot minimum rock construction entrance must be added to the entrance that will be accessed during construction. The applicant should be aware that any off-site grading will require an easement from the appropriate property owner. If importing or exporting material for development of the site is necessary, the applicant will be required to supply the City with detailed haul routes and traffic control plans. Storm Water Management Two storm water ponds are proposed for the Chanhassen portion of the site. The applicant has proposed to outlet Pond 3 to Pond 2 and pipe the outlet of Pond 2 down the bluff, through Outlot C and into Wetland I. Staff has several concerns regarding this proposal. First, the two ponds are constructed along the top of existing bluff areas. In times of intense rainfall, the overflow route for these ponds would overflow onto bluff areas, causing massive erosion and slope instability and potentially threatening structures. Second, staff is concerned that the water from residential irrigation (primarily sprinkler systems) and storms running off yards along the bluff line will contribute to any existing or future bluff instabilities. The lots abutting bluff areas (Lots 13 through 40 and 46 through 50) should be graded to drain away from the bluff and bluff impact zone. In addition, a system of swales and storm sewer with surface inlets should be designed and installed for the rear yards of the lots abutting bluff areas (Lots 13 through 40 and 46 through 50). The system should be located between the building pad and the bluff impact zone on each lot. The plans for the cross-country storm sewer on Outlot C should be more detailed. The plans should include: the location of the dirt haul road through the woods (as identified on-site by City staff and Justin Larson of Sathre-Bergquist, Inc.); details on proposed vegetation and tree removal; temporary erosion and sediment control; permanent erosion control and revegetation; and construction phasing. The inlet and outlet of Pond 2 are closer than desirable for water quality and may produce a short- circuiting and dead pool area. Ideally, the inlet and outlet would be located at opposite ends of the treatment pond. It appears that the topography of the development restricts this option. To improve water quality treatment, minimization of dead pool area and for effective and economical sediment cleanout, an in-pond forebay should be constructed. The design may include an earthen crescent-shaped berm with a northerly opening to direct flow to allow for settling and increase flow distance. To provide cost-effective sediment removal within Pond 3, a forebay should be located at the northern end of the pond near the inlet. Manholes with a two-foot sumps should be installed as the last structures that are road accessible prior to discharge to each storm water pond. Settlers West Planning Case #04-05 February 17, 2004 Page 7 Easements Drainage and utility easements should be provided over all existing wetlands, wetland mitigation areas, buffer areas used as PVC and storm water ponds. A drainage and utility easement at least 20 feet in width should be centered over any swales and/or storm sewer, including pond inlets and outlets. Slopes within the easements should be gradual enough to permit access with heavy equipment. Easements shall also be required on the adjacent properties where the storm sewer is being routed and over the creek in which the storm sewer discharges. Erosion and Sediment. Control In areas of steep topography and erosive soils, development can often increase storm water runoff volumes and rates. Due to severe compaction of soils during the grading phases and lack of adequate topsoil application, more storm water runoff results than the calculated runoff numbers. To alleviate this potential problem, adequate, non-compacted topsoil should be applied to a depth of at least 6 inches prior to the installation of permanent erosion control practices. Erosion control blanket should be installed on all slopes greater than or equal to 3:1. All exposed soil areas must have temporary erosion protection or permanent cover for the exposed soil areas year round, according to the following table of slopes and time frames: Type of Slope Time Steeper than 3:1 7 days 10:1 to 3:1 14 days Flatter than 10:1 21 days (Maximum time an area can remain open when the area is not actively being worked.) These areas include constructed storm water management pond side slopes, and any exposed soil areas with a positive slope to a storm water conveyance system, such as a curb and gutter system, storm sewer inlet, temporary or permanent drainage ditch or other natural or man made systems that discharge to a surface water. Street cleaning of soil tracked onto public streets should include daily street scraping and street sweeping as-needed. Surface Water Management Fees Water Quality Fees Because of the impervious surface associated with this development, the water quality fees for this proposed development are based on single-family residential development rates of $1,028/acre. Based on the proposed developed area of approximately 30.12 acres, the water quality fees associated with this project are $30,963. Settlers West Planning Case #04-05 February 17, 2004 Page 8 Water Quantity Fees The SWMP has established a connection charge for the different land uses based on an average citywide rate for the installation of water quantity systems. This cost includes land acquisition, proposed SWMP culverts, open channels, and storm water ponding areas for runoff storage. Single-family residential developments have a connection charge of $2,545 per developable acre. This results in a water quantity fee of approximately $76,655 for the proposed development. SWMP Credits This project proposes the construction of two NURP ponds. Credits may be applied to the applicant's SWMP fees for oversizing in accordance with the SWMP or the provision of outlet structures. The applicant will not be assessed for areas that are dedicated outlots. No credit will be given for temporary pond areas. At this time, the estimated total SWMP fee, due payable to the City at the time of final plat recording, is $107,618. Other Agencies The applicant shall apply for and obtain permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies (e.g., Lower Minnesota River Watershed District, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, City of Eden Prairie) and comply with their conditions of approval. The existing site over the Chanhassen lots has tree cover over approximately 10 acres. The existing bluff limit line surrounds all sides except a small portion at the northeasterly and northwesterly sides along the property lines. The plans propose to grade about 60% of the site for the new house pads, a proposed street, two cul-de-sacs and stormwater ponds. The proposed grading will prepare the site for full basement, look-out and walk-out house pads. Staff is concerned with the amount of grading that is proposed on Lots 20-25 and Lot 30. Between 6'-15' of fill is being proposed on these lots in order to raise them in elevation to create walk-out lots. Due to the environmentally sensitive nature of the site, staff would recommend that the developer try to work with the existing topography and minimize grading in the area mentioned. The existing site drainage is encompassed within three different drainage areas. Under existing conditions, the northern part of the site drains off-site to an existing wetland to the north; the west/southwest portion of the site drains off-site to the County Railway corridor and eventually south to a tributary creek of the Minnesota River; the east/southeast portion of the site drains off-site over the existing bluff to the east. Under developed conditions, the applicant is proposing to capture all of the street drainage and all of the front-yard drainage. This stormwater will be conveyed via storm sewer to proposed ponds in the easterly and westerly center of the site for treatment. The proposed ponds must be designed to National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) standards with maximum 3:1 slopes and a 10:1 bench at the NWL. The outlet for the ponds is a proposed "cross-country storm sewer". This storm sewer extends, approximately, one-half mile south to the existing tributary creek of the Minnesota River. Due to future access and maintenance issues associated with such a long storm sewer pipe, staff is Settlers West Planning Case #04-05 February 17, 2004 Page 9 investigating alternative designs for the pond outlet. Staff is also recommending that the grading plan be revised to decrease and/or eliminate the draining of storm water from Settlers West Road and Explorer Trail in Eden Prairie to the pond in Chanhassen. This would in turn, decrease the size of Pond 3 and decrease the amount of stormwater that goes off-site to the southern creek. In order to prevent future erosion issues with the many bluffs adjacent to the site, staff is recommending that a combination berm/swale and storm sewer system be designed for the rear yards of lots adjacent to the bluffs. Through a combination of swales and storm sewer, the rear yard drainage would be carried to the ponds while a small berm along the bluff setback line would prevent stormwater from flowing over the bluff. These design measures would greatly reduce the chance of a "wash-out" or other severe erosion problems on the bluff. Drainage calculations for the site have been submitted and only minor changes remain. The applicant is required to meet the existing site runoff rates for the 10-year and 100-year, 24-hour storm events. Storm sewer sizing calculations must be submitted prior to final plat application. The storm sewer must be sized for a 10-year, 24-hour storm event. Drainage and utility easements must be dedicated on the final plat over the public storm drainage system including ponds, drainage swales, and wetlands up to the 100-year flood level. This includes the large drainage swale in the rear yards of Lots 32-40. The minimum easement width must be 20 feet wide. Because of the sensitive nature of the site, staff recommends that Type III silt fence be used around the perimeter of the entire site. In addition, tree preservation fencing must be installed at the limits of tree removal. Erosion control blankets are recommended for the steep slopes in the rear yards of Lots 7-12, 20-24, and Lot 30. All disturbed areas, as a result of construction, must be seeded and mulched or sodded immediately after grading to minimize erosion. A 75-foot minimum rock construction entrance must be added to the entrance that will be accessed during construction. The applicant should be aware that any off-site grading will require an easement from the appropriate property owner. If importing or exporting material for development of the site is necessary, the applicant will be required to supply the City with detailed haul routes and traffic control plans. UTILITIES Municipal sanitary sewer and water for the development will be provided by the City of Eden Prairie. The plans propose on extending sewer and water from both Explorer Trail and Pioneer Trail to service the development. Overall, the utility layout looks fine and all of the utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City of Eden Prairie's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Upon completion of the utility improvements, the utilities will be turned over to the City of Eden Prairie for maintenance and ownership. A joint powers agreement covering this unique situation is currently being negotiated between the cities. STREETS The plans propose on accessing the Chanhassen lots via Settlers West Road from the northeast through Eden Prairie. The required right-of-way for public streets is 60 feet wide with a 60-foot radius for cul- de-sacs. The applicant is proposing a 60-foot wide street right-of-way with a 28-foot street width from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. The standard pavement width for public streets in Chanhassen is 31 feet Settlers West Planning Case #04-05 February 17, 2004 Page 10 from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. In this case, staff is fine with the street width staying at 28 feet. This size is consistent with the existing street width in Eden Prairie and it will provide more flexibility in grading the rearyards for the proposed lots. In addition, it appears that the centerline curve radius of Settlers West Road near Lot 38 is less than 180 feet, the required standard for a 30 mph street. As such, the plans must be revised to maintain a 180-foot curve radius and a 31-foot wide street. Staff is also recommending that a 5-foot wideconcrete sidewalk be added along Settlers Court and Settlers West Road to connect pedestrians to the County trail on Pioneer Trail and the adjacent regional trail to the west. LANDSCAPING/TREE PRESERVATION The developer for the Settler's West development has submitted tree canopy coverage and preservation calculations. The calculations do not include tree removal necessary for the installation of a storm sewer line through Outlot C; nor do they include any bluff areas. They are as follows: Total upland area (excluding wetlands and bluffs) Baseline canopy coverage Minimum canopy coverage allowed Proposed tree preservation 25.5 ac. 38% or 9.7 ac. 30% or 7.65 ac. 6% or 1.6 ac. The developer does not meet minimum canopy coverage allowed; therefore, the difference between the baseline and proposed tree preservation is multiplied by 1.2 to calculate the required replacement plantings. Difference in canopy coverage Multiplier Total replacement Total number of trees to be planted 263,538 SF or 6.05 ac. 1.2 316,245 SF 290 trees The total number of trees required for the development is 290. The applicant has proposed a total of 390 trees comprised of ash, basswood, cherry, cottonwood, elm and hackberry. According to City ordinance, 290 of the trees must be a minimum of 2 1/2" in diameter and an overstory species. The City does not find cherry, cottonwood or elm acceptable species without further information on the specific genus, species and varieties. A revised landscape plan with a detailed plant schedule must be submitted to the City prior to final approval. Staff is concerned about proposed tree preservation shown in submitted plans. There is one large stand of significant trees on site. The species found in that area are mostly basswood and sugar maple. There are little to no invasive species found there. According to the submitted plans, no design creativity has been employed to preserve the trees. Grading is proposed to the edge of the top of the bluff in all but two minor areas. The wooded area provides excellent protection to the surrounding bluff and contains a large number of healthy and significant trees and should be preserved. Staff recommends that the number of lots be reduced or the applicant be offered a density transfer in order to preserve the high quality woods along the bluff. Settlers West Planning Case #04-05 February 17, 2004 Page 11 According to the grading plans, elevation changes are proposed at the top of the bluff along a majority of the entire bluff line. City ordinance does not allow grading within 20 feet of the top of a bluff, defined by ordinance as the bluff protection zone. The applicant must eliminate grading within the bluff protection zone. City staff recommends that all bluff areas be placed in an outlot and be removed from individual lot areas. The bluff outlots will be covered by a conservation easement and should become public property. There are no buffer yard requirements for this development. REZONING/COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The property is located within the 2020 Metropolitan Urban Services Area (MUSA) as shown in the City's 2020 Comprehensive Plan. Due to the topographically isolated nature of the site, surrounded on the west, south and southeast by bluff areas, it would be very difficult and require significant environmental impacts to service this property through the City of Chanhassen. Bringing the property into the current urban service area would permit the City of Eden Prairie to service the site with water and sewer in an efficient and effective manner. The property is guided in the comprehensive plan for Residential - Low Density Uses. The Residential - Low Density designation permits net densities of 1.2 to 4.0 units per acre. The Single Family Residential District, RSF, is consistent with this land use category. COMPLIANCE TABLE Net Area Lot Sq. Ft. Ac. Bluff Area (sf) (Sq. Ft.)

The developer needs to verify that Lots 14, 15, 16, 26, 37, 38, 39, 47, 53 and 54 have 90 feet of frontage at the front setback line. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion: "The Chanhassen Planning Commission tables review of the development for Settlers West to permit the developer to revise the plans to address the following issues: Subdivision: The developer shall agree in writing to a waiver of the 60-day review period until revised plans have been submitted to the city. All lots shall maintain a minimum lot area of 15,000 square feet. Bluff areas may not be included in the minimum lot area. The developer needs to verify that lots 14, 15, 16, 26, 37, 38, 39, 47, 53 and 54 have 90 feet of frontage at the front setback line. The development of the property is contingent on Eden Prairie approving the subdivision within their jurisdiction. Without the road access and sewer and water service, this project would be premature. A joint powers agreement between the Cities of Eden Prairie and Chanhassen shall be established for the provision of services to the city. o A trail shall be provided from the end of Settlers Court to the east property line which is the westerly boundary of the Richard T. Anderson Conservation area. Note on sheet 1 of 12 shall show Design Standards for Chanhassen's minimum lot width of 90 feet and minimum rear setback of 30 feet. The design standards should state a minimum lot depth of 125 feet, and a minimum bluff setback of 30 feet. The City of Chanhassen street standards are 60- foot right-of-way with 31-foot streets. Outlot C shall be extended across the easterly 50 feet of Lot 25 to connect the bluff area on the east side of the project into one outlot. Settlers West Planning Case #04-05 February 17, 2004 Page 14 The applicant shall revise the landscape plan to show a minimum of 290 trees to be planted.

The developer shall be responsible for installing all landscape materials proposed in front, side and rear yard areas. 12. Tree preservation fence shall be installed at the edge of the grading limits prior to any construction. Fencing shall be in place and maintained until all construction is completed. 13. Any trees removed in excess of proposed tree preservation plans, dated 1/16/04, will be replaced at a ratio of 2:1 diameter inches. If the grading plan is revised, the developer shall recalculate tree preservation. 14. The developer shall make a separate calculation of the tree removal proposed as part of the storm sewer installation down the bluff. These trees shall be required to be replaced at a ratio of 1.2:1 diameter inches. 15. All bluff areas shall be placed in an outlot and shall be covered by a conservation easement. The outlot may be dedicated to the City. 16. The grading plan shall be revised to show existing wetlands that are proposed to be impacted. 17. The applicant shall have Wetlands I and J field verified by City staff prior to the discharge of pretreated storm water into these basins. 18. Wetland replacement shall occur in a manner consistent with the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (MR 8420). The replacement plans shall show fixed photo monitoring points for replacement wetlands. A five-year wetland replacement monitoring plan shall be submitted. The applicant shall provide proof of recording of a Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants for Replacement Wetland. The applicant shall be required to receive approval of a wetland replacement plan prior to wetland impacts occurring. 19. The developer shall evaluate the potential to mitigate for Wetland G on the northern portion of the site. 20. A wetland buffer 0 to 20 feet in width (with a minimum average of 10 feet) shall be maintained around Wetlands E and G and wetland mitigation areas. A wetland buffer 10 to 30 feet in width (with a minimum average of 20 feet) shall be maintained around Wetlands I and J. (Those buffers considered for PVC shall maintain a minimum width of 16.5 feet.) Wetland buffer areas shall be preserved, surveyed and staked in accordance with the City's wetland ordinance. The applicant shall install wetland buffer edge signs, under the direction of City staff, before construction begins and shall pay the City $20 per sign. 21. Bluff areas shall be preserved. In addition, all structures shall maintain a 30-foot setback fi'om the Settlers West Planning Case #04-05 February 17, 2004 Page 15 bluff and no grading may occur within the bluff impact zone (i.e., the bluff and land located within 20 feet from the top of a bluff). The plans shall be revised to eliminate grading within the bluff and bluff impact zone. A conservation easement shall be recorded over the bluffs and bluff impact zones. The developer shall work with staff to develop and install appropriate markers to demarcate the bluff impact zone. 22. The applicant shall work with City staff to develop a plan for bluff management. The plan shall include an assessment of the stability of bluff areas, an inventory of the discarded materials, a plan for the clean-up of bluff areas and a restoration plan for critical and/or severely eroded areas. The plan shall also address reclamation of the Moon Valley site. The bluff management plan shall be implemented prior to or concurrently with subdivision construction. 23. The lots abutting bluff areas (Lots 13 through 40 and 46 through 50) shall be graded to drain away from the bluff and bluff impact zone. In addition, a system of swales and storm sewer with surface inlets shall be designed and installed for the rear yards of the lots abutting bluff areas (Lots 13 through 40 and 46 through 50). The system shall be located between the building pad and the bluff impact zone on each lot. 24. The plans for the cross-country storm sewer on Outlot C shall include: the location of the dirt haul road through the woods (as identified on-site by City staff and Justin Larson of Sathre-Bergquist, Inc.); details on proposed vegetation and tree removal; temporary erosion and sediment control; permanent erosion control and revegetation; and construction phasing. 25. In-pond forebays shall be constructed in Ponds 2 and 3. 26. Manholes with a two-foot sumps shall be installed as the last structures that are road accessible prior to discharge to each storm water pond. 27. Drainage and utility easements shall be provided over all existing wetlands, wetland mitigation areas, buffer areas used as PVC and storm water ponds. A drainage and utility easement at least 20 feet in width shall be centered over any swales and/or storm sewer, including pond inlets and outlets. Slopes within the easements shall be gradual enough to permit access with heavy equipment. Easements shall also be required on the adjacent properties where the storm sewer is being routed and over the creek in which the storm sewer discharges. 28. Adequate, non-compacted topsoil shall be applied to a depth of at least 6 inches prior to the installation of permanent erosion control practices. 29. Erosion control blanket shall be installed on all slopes greater than or equal to 3:1. All exposed soil areas shall have temporary erosion protection or permanent cover for the exposed soil areas year round, according to the following table of slopes and time frames: Type of Slope Time Steeper than 3:1 7 days 10:! to 3:1 14 days (Maximum time an area can remain open when the area is not actively being worked.) Settlers West Planning Case #04-05 February 17, 2004 Page 16 Flatter than 10:1 21 days These areas include constructed storm water management pond side slopes, and any exposed soil areas with a positive slope to a storm water conveyance system, such as a curb and gutter system, storm sewer inlet, temporary or permanent drainage ditch or other natural or man made systems that discharge to a surface water. 30. Street cleaning of soil tracked onto public streets shall include daily street scraping and street sweeping as-needed. 31. At this time, the estimated total SWMP fee, due payable to the City at the time of final plat recording, is $107,618. 32. The applicant shall apply for and obtain permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies (e.g., Lower Minnesota River Watershed District, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, City of Eden Prairie) and comply with their conditions of approval. 33. The applicant will be required to meet the existing site runoff rates for the 10-year and 100-year, 24- hour storm events. The proposed ponds must be designed to National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) standards. 34. The storm sewer must be designed for a 10-year, 24-hour storm event. Submit storm sewer sizing calcs and drainage map prior to final plat for staff review and approval. 35. Drainage and utility easements must be dedicated on the final plat over the public storm drainage system including ponds, drainage swales, and wetlands up to the 100-year flood level. The minimum easement width shall be 20 feet. 36. Because of the sensitive nature of the site, staff recommends that Type III silt fence be used around the perimeter of the entire site. In addition, tree preservation fencing must be installed at the limits of tree removal. Erosion control blankets are recommended for the steep slopes in the rear yards of Lot 7-12, 20-24, and Lot 30. All disturbed areas, as a result of construction, must be seeded and mulched or sodded immediately after grading to minimize erosion. A 75-foot minimum rock construction entrance must be added to the entrance that will be accessed during construction. The applicant should be aware that any off-site grading will require an easement from the appropriate property owner. If importing or exporting material for development of the site is necessary, the applicant will be required to supply the City with detailed haul routes and traffic control plans. 37. Add the following City of Chanhassen Detail Plates Numbers: 2201, 2202, 3101,3102, 3104, 3107, 3108, 3109, 5200, 5203, 5205, 5300 and 5302. 38. Revise the 100-scale plans so they are scalable. 39. Permits from the appropriate governmental agencies must be obtained including: MPCA, Watershed District, Hennepin/Carver County. Settlers West Planning Case #04-05 February 17, 2004 Page 17 40. The walk-out elevation of Lots 42 and 43 must be a minimum of 3 feet above the HWL of Pond 3. 41. On the grading plan: a. Show all existing and proposed utility and pond easements. b. Show the benchmark used for the site survey. c. Show the existing topography a minimum of 100 feet outside the property. d. Show the emergency overflow elevation and location between Lot 53 and 54. 42. Show the off-site storm sewer in a minimum 100-scale plan. 43. Revise the grading plan to minimize the amount of filling in the rear yards of Lots 20-25 and Lot 30. 44. The grading plan must be revised to decrease and/or eliminate the draining of storm water from Settlers West Road and Explorer Trail in Eden Prairie to the pond in Chanhassen. 45. A combination berm/swale and storm sewer system must be designed for the rear yards of the lots adjacent to the bluffs. 46. The plans must be revised to maintain a 180-foot curve radius. 47. A 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk must be added along Settlers West Road and Settlers Court. 48. Fire hydrant spacing per the Fire Department is 300 feet. There are a couple of fire hydrants spaced at more than 400 feet. Please relocate and resubmit to the Fire Marshal for review and approval. 49. Due to the fact that the new Settler West Road is almost a one-half mile dead end with a cul-de-sac turnaround, the proposed center island in the cul-de-sac is not acceptable and must be removed. Any vehicles parked in the cul-de-sac would prevent fire apparatus from turning around. Even attempting to negotiate these turnarounds proves difficult if not impossible under normal circumstances. 50. Any trees removed must either be chipped or hauled off site. No burning permits will be issued. 51. City of Chanhassen maps must be updated to show access to Settlers West Road due to the fact that it comes in from the City of Eden Prairie. 52. A 10-foot clear space must be maintained around fire hydrants, i.e., street lamps, trees, shrubs, bushes, Qwest, Xcel Energy, Cable TV and transformer boxes. This is to insure fire hydrants can be quickly located and operated by firefighters. Pursuant to Chanhassen City Ordinance #9-1. 53. Fire apparatus access roads and water supply for fire protection is required to be installed. Such protection shall be installed and made serviceable prior to and during time of construction except when approved, alternate methods of protection are provided. Temporary street signs shall be installed at each street intersection when construction of roadways allows passage by vehicles in accordance with Section 505.2 of the Minnesota Fire Code. Settlers West Planning Case #04-05 February 17, 2004 Page 18 54. Submit revised cul-de-sac design dimensions to the City Engineer and Fire Marshal for review and approval. 55. A final grading plan and soils report must be submitted to the Inspections Division before building permits will be issued. 56. Demolition permits must be obtained prior to demolishing any structures on the site. 57. As utility service will be provided by the City of Eden Prairie, responsibility for permits and inspections of the private sewer and water services must be determined. Wetland Alteration Permit: 1. The grading plan shall be revised to show existing wetlands that are proposed to be impacted. 2. The applicant shall have Wetlands I and J field verified by City staff prior to the discharge of pretreated storm water into these basins. o Wetland replacement shall occur in a manner consistent with the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (MR 8420). The replacement plans shall show fixed photo monitoring points for replacement wetlands. A five-year wetland replacement monitoring plan shall be submitted. The applicant shall provide proof of recording of a Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants for Replacement Wetland. The applicant shall be required to receive approval of a wetland replacement plan prior to wetland impacts occurring. 4. The developer shall evaluate the potential to mitigate for Wetland G on the northern portion of the site. A wetland buffer 0 to 20 feet in width (with a minimum average of 10 feet) shall be maintained around Wetlands E and G and wetland mitigation areas. A wetland buffer 10 to 30 feet in width (with a minimum average of 20 feet) shall be maintained around Wetlands I and J. Those buffers considered for PVC shall maintain a minimum width of 16.5 feet.

BACKGROUND: The Moon Valley Property, for you history types, was one of the early downhill ski areas developed in the fifties with a rope tow. The rope tow used an old unreliable tractor engine with pulleys made from car tire rims mounted on used telegraph poles. Ask your parents about the telegraph. Subsequent to that, the owners mined the rich gravel prevalent on the Minnesota River Bluff. The mined area of the pit has been and is currently used as a shooting range for rifles, pistols and shotguns. The pit has realized a great deal of erosion through the years and on quiet days or days with southern winds the range noise is an aggravation for all the neighbors. A very unsightly radio transmission tower also exists on the upper plateau of this site. The current owner, subject to approval of the final plat and Developer's Agreement for this site, will discontinue all of the above undesirable uses and will agree to stabilize the mined area of the site. There is believed to be some additional gravel on the western edge of the pit not located in the bluff that once removed will allow the entire area to be graded for future land uses per the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Chanhassen. As a part of the Developer's Agreement the City will approve a grading and drainage plan for the lower plateau area. This plan will provide for the stabilization of the existing mined area including appropriate erosion control and restoration measures as well as a plan to control storm water. THE PROPERTY: The land area consists of approximately 131 acres of which 56 acres are in the upper plateau. 11 acres of this upper area fronting on Pioneer Trail are within the City of Eden Prairie and 45 acres of the upper area are in the City of Chanhassen. This area is guided low-density housing in both Cities. The lower area consisting of approximately 75 acres is guided high~density housing, office/industrial and commercial. This area has extensive frontage along U. S. Highway 212. The Eastern portion of the site on the upper plateau abuts land in Eden Prairie that includes Settlers Ridge, a residential community of 220 homes, and the lower mined area of the site abuts the beautiful wooded Richard T. Anderson Conservation Area. The shooting range is adjacent to existing Eden Prairie trails within the Conservation Area. The entire west boundary of the site is along the Hennepin County Regional Railway Corridor. Settlers West January 14, 2004 Page 2 PLAN: The proposed plan is to only develop the upper plateau of the site into quality single family lots. The lower area of the site, all located in Chanhassen, would be graded to balance the earthwork and to provide the necessary erosion protection, restoration, and storm water ponding to prevent further unsightly and detrimental erosion from the site as it currently exists. The lower area is proposed to be developed per the Comprehensive Plan at a future date when utilities are available to serve this area. After extensive study by the staffs of both Cities it was determined that the only logical way to develop the upper plateau would be to provide utilities from the City of Eden Prairie via Pioneer Trail and existing water and sewer lines stubbed from Settlers Ridge to the East. To provide utilities now or anytime in the future through the City of Chanhassen would be very, very costly and would do serious damage to the wooded bluff areas of this site. The majority of the land in Chanhassen abutting this site to the West is already developed into large estate type lots with private sewer and water systems. The homeowners in this area may not need or want public utilities from the City of Chanhassen until some unknown time in the future and even at that time it would be extremely difficult to cross the Hennepin County Regional Railway Corridor with these utilities. Upon approval a Joint Powers Agreement will be in place to reimburse the City of Eden Prairie for the utility services to the upper area lots located in Chanhassen Chanhassen will be able to develop the lower area of the Moon Valley Property when utilities are scheduled for that area. Access to the proposed lots in the upper area will be from the North offPioneer Trail and from the East using the existing dead ended street Explorer Trail built in Settlers Ridge. Due to the existing wooded bluff and nearly 200 feet of elevation difference between the upper and lower parcels no road system is proposed as a connection to the South. Specifically the plan will be to develop lots that will compliment the existing homes to the East in Eden Prairie and to the West and North in Chanhassen. The lots will be designed to accommodate custom homes. Build out of the 61 lots is proposed over a 3-5 year time period depending on market conditions. The entrance off Pioneer Trail "Settlers West Road" will be unique with the enhancement and restoration of existing wetlands located on each side of the current field drive. A pleasant, meandering road will traverse the site southerly terminating with two Cul De Sacs serving several lots with spectacular views overlooking the wooded bluff and the entire Minnesota River Valley. The streets will be public and will be maintained by the respective municipality in which they are geographically located. The future homeowner's children will attend the schools based on the boundaries of existing school districts. Thirteen home sites will be located in the City of Eden Prairie and forty-eight home sites will be located in the City of Chanhassen. Extensive studies have been completed regarding trees, topography, bluffs, utility service, wetlands, and storm water. Through the development review and approval process we will work with both Settlers West January 14, 2004 Page 3 Cities to meet the Cities' goals in all of these areas while providing quality home sites for the future residents.

PAGE 'rairie To~ From: Date: Subject: Development Review Committee Engineering Division January 22, 2004 Settlers West The following are preliminary comments by the Engineering Division in review of a development proposal for Settlers West located west of Settlers Ridge. The proposed project is located both within Eden Prairie and Chanhassen. The plans were prepared by Sathre Berquist, Inc. and tu'e dated "received" Janum-y 16, 2004. PLAT 27 feet of additional right of way adjacent to Pioneer Trail should be dedicated within the plat. This is to accommodate future improvements to Pioneer Trail by He[mepi[~ County to a four lane roadway. The proposed right of way width for Settlers West Road should be redtlced to 50' from the width show~x as 60'. Based on Eden Prairie standard requirements, a 50' right of way width is typical and. appropriate. The plat indicates three separate outlots, two within Eden Prairie, one within Chanh. assen. Outlots A & B withi.n Eden Prairie should be dedicated to the City. SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS This property will be subject to trunk sewer and watermain assessments with this project. Based on the preliminary plat dated 1-16-04, 8_36 acres will be assessed for trunks at the 2004 rate of $5,510/acre for a total assessment of $46,063.60. A special assessment agreement will be needed. GRADING AND DRAINAGE The stormwater quality and quan'tity report is currently being reviewed. Detailed colrmaents regarding the report will be forwarded upon completion of the review. The grading plan should indicate the existing topography for the areas adjacent to the project for evaluation of drainage. Specific areas needed for evaluation are the rear yard areas of Lots 1-12 adjacent to Settlers Ridge 5th Addition. The rem' yard areas of Lots 13-29 drain towards the bluffs and eventually into Eden Prairie. Based mi past experience with these situations, erosion may be an ultimate problem with rrm-off from large roof- tops mad other impervious surfaces that may be constructed. A storm water mamagement plan is needed for these areas. This plan should include rear yard storm sewer systems, etc. to minimize or eliminate run-off over these sensitive bluff areas. The project area (specifically areas adjacent to the bluffs) should be evaluated by the consultant engineer for areas of existing active erosion problems. If there is active erosion occurring, these areas PRAIRIE PAGE should be identified and repaired as part of the project. The existing contours within the Williams Pipeline easement should also be shown. It appears that fairly extensive fills are proposed for the street as well as the area west of Settlers West Road within this easement area. Witlimns Pipeline should be contacted for comment regarding the proposed plans. Emergency overland overflow elevations from ponds and wetlands must be indicated on the grading plaus. It: appears on the ~ading plan that the majority of the homes include an 8' (sonle 9' a few 7') basement. Based on recent home construction within Eden Prairie, the more common basement is 9'. The grading plmi should be revised to accommodate 9' basements. The outlet pipe from Wetland #2 and the outlet pipe from Pond 1 should be combined if possible to eliminate a discharge point to the trail/rail corridor. UTILITIES An 8" water loop should be made to Vogel Farm Road in an appropriate location (potentially between lots 9 & 10 and then across the rear property line to match in with an exiting side property line in Settlers Ridge) from Senlers West Road. Drainage and utility easements will be needed. The pmtion of watem~ain to be installed within the adjacent Settlers Ridge should be installed by dir. ection drill to minimize/eliminate impacts to the adjacent properties. An 8" valve and meter with box should be installed at the Eden Prairie/Chanhassen border. A sanitary sewer manhole should be placed at the Eden Prairie/Chanhassen border. All existing utilities including electric, gas, telephone and cable should be indicated on final plans as required by State Statttte. PERMITS The responsibility of acquiring all permits for this project lies solely w/th the developer/owner of the project. Permits that may be required include: Watershed District NPDES MCES Depaitment of Health MPCA DNR Hem~epm County ( for streets, utilities as well as the trail & light rail comdor) A grading pen-nit will be required from the City. STREETS Hennepin County should be contacted regarding the proposed plmis for review of the proposed access and possible improvements to Pioneer Trail that may be required. Any Hennepin County recommendations should then be incorporated into the project plans. e5 15:84 EDEN PRAIRIE PAGE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS: CONSTRUCT1ON/MAINTANENCE OF PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE The proposed project presents some challenges to both the cities of Chanhassen and Eden Prairie m regards to handling the construction and maintenance aspect of the public ]r~frastrucmre that would serve this project. At this point, a basic premise of the project by Eden Prairie staff,s "what 1/es within each indiv/dual city will be constructed to that city's staudards and requirements and will also be maintained by that same city". This semns to work fairly well with the streets and utility aspects of the project w/th the addition of the utility elements called out in the utility section of this memo. Snowplowing of the streets may need additional attention. With the proposed street layout of the prOJect a turn-around location at the boundary between the Eden Prairie Chanhassen is not provided. To completely adhere to the "each his own" concept of maintenance a turn-around would need to be incorporated into the plan.. However, Eden Prairie is willing to entertain other solutions that would be agreeable to both Eden Prairie mxd Chauhassen~ 8~ 15:84 PaGE 87 ~[~!E~MO_RA _NDUM Development Review Cormnittee FROM: Allen M. Nelson, Fire Marshal DATE: January 27, 2004 PROJECT: Settlers West I have reviewed the plans submitted for the proposed Settlers West development. I have the following comments. The connections shown to both Pioneer trail from Settlers West Road and to Explorer Trml should remain if possible. This will provide a second means of access to both this new development and to the existing Settlers Ridge. If the cmmection to Pioneer Trail is not feasible, other options should be explored. Williaaus Pipeline Company should be consulted regarding building the proposed wetland-1 over the pipeline right-of-way. The City of Chanhassen should be consulted regarding the access to their portion of this project. 02/'82.,."20~4 15:04 9529498592 EDEN PRAIRIE PAGE ~ 2,/' {J 2,,'" 2 ~J 8 4 15:84 9529498392 EDEN PRAIRIE ~PAGE 09 15:84 EDEN PRAIRIE PAGE 18 c[en rairie Memorandum From: Date: Re: Danette Moore, Planner Smart A. Fox, Manager of Parks and Natural Resources Januaw 23, 2004 Comments on Settlers WeSt In reviewing the proposed SettlersiWest I have the following comments that should be addressed by the developer to clarify a couple of park and natural resource issues that aren't covered in the proposed project text. While the majority of the project is in ChanMssen, the Eden Prairie Parks and Recreation staff would like the folloWh~g issues addressed in written response: Will a sidewalk or trail b~ installed along Sealers West Road? Due to the long length of the cul-de sac and its intersection with Pioneer Trail (which wJll have a bike trail when expm~ded) the staffwouldi recommend either a trail or sidewalk to provide a safe off street amenity for bikes and pedestrians Protection of the steep slopes and storm water management on those portions of the project that abut the Richatx~ T. Anderson Conservation Area. The rear lot lines of lots 14, 15, 16, 25 an, d east side Of outlot A intersect the west property line of the conservation area. In Settlers Ridge rear yard storm water systems were installed to protect the steep slopes of the RTA Conse:rvation Area fi'om water runoff from the house roofs and yards. This should be done on thSs project in a similar mariner, Provide a c onservadon easement along the same RTA property line area as described above. There is a scenic/Conservation easement on the steep slopes and wooded portions of tl~e Settlers Ridge lots .On Vogel Farm Trail. This easement becmne necessary to protect the area fi'om excess tree and vegetation removal after the lots are sold and homes built. The house pad locaion ~on Lot 25 is very close to the property line a~d nature trail. Thought should be given lto how a home at this location will affect the natural character of park as well as those wh6 may want to access the city park by walking through the ,ward to get onto the trail. Should ~there be consideration for a trail cmmection at or near this point? Is there a possibility of providing another trail cmmection from the LRT through any portion of the Settlers West project to link with the RTA Conservation Area?

February 3, 2004 Robert Generous, Senior Planner City of Chanhassen 7700 Market Boulevard Charhhassen, MN 55317 RECEIVED FEB 0 6 2004 Re: Proposed Settlers West Development CITY OF CHANHASSEN Mr. Generous: Thank you for sending a copy of the preliminary development plan for Settlers West. The SWCD has reviewed the plan from Sathre-Bergquist, dated 01/16/04 for bluff impact, storm water runoff and erosion control. Please review the following comments and suggestions. Bluff Areas Bluff parcels are, by nature, prone to erosion and susceptible to invasive and undesirable plant species if disturbed. Extending parcel boundaries of lots 13 to 36 into the bluff and ravine areas often provides future homeowners with the impression that they can alter their land in the bluff areas. Designating the bluff and ravine area as an outlot or a conservation easement is recommended to limit this activity. In addition, owners of bluff and ravine areas generally use them as yard waste disposal sites. This activity greatly reduces vegetative growth, increases erosion potential, and overtime, brush accumulation which increases fuel base for fire hazards. Our experience has shown that without easement monumentation, bluff lots are improperly managed causing long-term erosion and accelerated loss ofbackyard footage. Stormwater Cross Countr~ Storm Sewer In addition to the location of the proposed storm sewer line in Outlot C, plans should include the following information: 1. Vegetation / Tree Removal 2. Temporary Erosion Control 3. Temporary Sediment Control 4. Permanent Erosion Control / Revegetation 5. Construction Phasing Drainage, Maintenance and utility easements Access to traditional stormwater components such as pipes and culverts are generally not problematic. Cleanout accesses for stormwater ponds need a defined area for equipment AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER maneuverability, sediment removal and trucking. Although easements are presently shown on the development plan, it is common for homeowners to not be aware and cooperative in these city requirements. Pond-2 Inlet and outlet proximity are closer than desirable for water quality and may produce a short circuiting and dead pool area. This may cause an increase in undesirable pond aesthetics. Ideally, the inlet and outlet would be located at opposite ends of the treatment pond. It appears the topography of the development restricts this option. For better water treatment, minimization of dead pool area and for effective and economical sediment cleanout, an in-pond forebay should be constructed. A concept design would include an earthen crescent-berm with a northerly opening to direct flow to produce settling and an increase flow distance. Pond-3 Inlet and outlet are placed to provide the greatest flow distance. Maintenance access should also be located between Lots 9 & 10. For cost-effective sediment removal, a forebay should be located at the northern end of pond near inlet. Overland Runoff Control - Backvard Lots 28-14 It is recommended to grade the backyards to accommodate a backyard swale from Lot 28 to Lot 14. A Grade Stabilization Structure should be built to stabilize the existing ravine in the rear of Lot 17 or in that vicinity. The grade stabilization structure would convey storm water in a controlled manner down the bluff and reduce sheet erosion and the loss ofbackyard footage in Lots 28 through 14. Overland Runoff Control - Backyard Lots 31 to 40 It is also recommended to adjust the grading plan to include a continuous backyard swale from lot 31 to lot 40 (eventually discharging into Storm Water Pond 2). It appears a swale would be possible if grading and alterations were made to the topography lines of lots 36 and 37. Post-Development Soils In areas of steep topography and erosive soils, development can often increase stormwater runoff volumes and rates. Due to severe compaction of soils during the grading phases and lack of adequate topsoil application, more stormwater runoff results than the calculated stormwater runoff numbers. To alleviate this potential problem, adequate, non-compacted topsoil should be applied at least 6 inches of depth prior to permanent erosion practices. Temporary Construction Site Erosion & Sediment Control Pond-2 and Pond-3 should be constructed for initial sediment control measures which also include the silt fence. An additional temporary sediment basin should be located at the westerly side of the ravine at or near Lot 17. The recommended Grade Stabilization Structure could be incorporated into the design of this temporary sediment basin. If there are any questions or if further explanation is needed regarding the recommendations and comments above, please call the SWCD office. The SWCD would like to meet with responsible parties to discuss these recommendations at a convenient time. Urban Conservation Technician cc.
