Scott Botcher
December 11,2000
Page 10
recombine Lots I and 2 to make it consistent with the preliminary plat. Staff is
recommending approval with conditions.
SUBDIVISION
The subdivision request consists of subdividing 14.74 acres into four lots. Lot I will
contain apartment building B, Lot 2, Community Room and Swimming pool, Lot 3,
Building D, and Lot 4, Building C (Senior Housing Building). All these buildings
received site plan approval ITom the City Council on June 26, 2000. The preliminary plat
showed Lots 1 and 2 as a single lot containing building B and a community room. The
applicant must recombine these two lots into one. The subdivision request is a relatively
straightforward action.
GRADING
The site received preliminary and final plat approval for Phase I back in April 2000. The
grading plan for this submittal conforms with the overall approved grading plan for the
subdivision. The site will be mass graded in one phase.
Berming has been proposed in the south half of Lot I. This will help provide screening
between the proposed building and some of the existing homes in the Lake Susan Hills
West development. The top of the berm will be approximately 20 feet higher than the
existing homes to the south. The fIrst floor and lowest floor elevations of the proposed
buildings need to be shown on the grading plan.
EROSION CONTROL
Erosion control measures are proposed around the grading limits, storm water ponds and
wetlands in accordance with the City's Best Management Practices. Type III silt fence is
required along the southerly grading limits of Lots 1 and 4 adjacent to the existing
wetland. The plans include one rock construction entrance for Phase 2 off of Lake Drive
West.
UTILITIES
Municipal sewer and water is available to the site ITom Lake Drive West. Since the site
was platted as outlots, the developer is responsible for extending sewer and water
improvements to provide service to the interior lots of the development. The main line
sanitary sewer, watermain, and stOrm sewer will be City owned and maintained. The
individual sewer and water services to each lot will be privately owned and maintained
by the property owner or association. Building permits will be required ITom the City's
Building Department for the private utility portion of the project. Drainage and utility
easements shall be dedicated over the public utility lines on the final plat. Depending on
the depth of the utilities, the minimum drainage and utility easement width shall be 20
feet wide. The developer will be required to enter into a development contact/PUD
Scott Botcher
December 11, 2000
Page 11
agreement with the city and provide a financial security in the form of a letter of credit or
cash escrow to guarantee installation of the public improvements and conditions of final
plat approval.
STREETS
No public streets or right-of-way is being proposed with this plat. The internal street
system will be privately owned and maintained. The proposed drive aisle widths meet
the City's ordinances. The drive aisles shall be a minimum of 24 feet wide and 26 feet
wide when adjacent to parking stalls and built to 7-ton per axel weight pursuant to
Ordinance 18-57 0-1 and 20-1101. Parking lots shall be designed and constructed in
accordance with section 20-1118. Cross-access easements will need to be prepared and
recorded by the developer over the lots in favor of the property owners. The minimum
easement width shall be 40 feet wide.
WETLANDS
There are two ag/urban wetlands located on-site. The wetland located on the south side
of the property (0.86 acres) is directly adjacent to the existing Lake Susan Hills
development. This wetland has been influenced by agricultural activities to the north and
residential development to the south. An existing buffer, approximately 15- 20 feet,
remains intact around the edge of the wetland. The wetland contains an open water area
that remains IDundated throughout the year. When the Lake Susan Hills development was
constructed, an outlet structure was installed to maintain the existing water level. This
wetland requires a 50 foot setback (including an average 10 foot buffer), which the
applicant has included in the plans. The applicant is also constructing a pond to pre-treat
runoff before it enters this wetland.
The second wetland on-site is located on the east edge of the property along powers
Boulevard. This basin is classified as an ag/urban wetland, but it has actually been used
as a storm water pond for a number of years. Runoffftom the Lake Susan Hills
development, Powers Boulevard and the existing agricultural land are directed to this
area before entering the City's trunk storm sewer system. The applicant has proposed to
expand this existing wetland to treat runoff and meet water quality requirements.
The applicant will be required to re-seed any disturbed wetland areas with MnDOT seed
mix 25 A, or a similar seed mix approved for wetland soil conditions. Drainage and
utility easements will be required over all existing and proposed wetlands, ponds and
buffer strips. Wetland buffer areas should be surveyed and staked in accordance with the
City's wetland ordinance. The City will install wetland buffer edge signs and will charge
the applicant $20 per sign.

SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN ŒWMP}
Phases II through IV consist of 14.74 acres, of which 0.86 acres is wetland. The
developer has already final platted 6.6 acres with Phase 1; therefore, the SWMP are only
applicable to the 13.88 acres (phases II through IV). The developer provided water
quality ponds for a portion of the site and therefore received credits against the SWMP
fees for Phase L Phases II through IV are not entitled to additional water quality credits.
The developer is responsible for a SWMP fee of$83,280 with the plat of Phases II
through IV. A summary of the fees and credits is provided below by phase.
PHASE I
Water Quality Fees
Because of the high percentage of impervious surface associated with this development, the
water quality fees for this proposed development are based on commercial land use at
$1,640/acre.
Based on the proposed Phase I developed area of 6.6 acres, the water quality fees associated
with Phase I of this project were $10,824. The applicant proposed water quality ponds to
treat runoff for 18.6 acres of the site (21.34 acres). The applicant therefore received a water
quality credit of $30,504 in conjunction with Phase I.
Water Quantity Fees
The SWMP 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. High-density developments have a connection charge of$4,360 per
developable acre.
Based on the proposed Phase I developed area of 6.6 acres, the water quantity fees
associated with this project were $28,776. The applicant proposed 1 outlet control structure,
which gave the applicant an additional $2,500 credit in conjunction with Phase I.
The total SWMP fee 01$6,596 for Phase I was paid by the applicant. Future phases
are not entitled to water quality credits.
PHASES II THROUGH IV
Water Quality Fees
Because of the high percentage of inIpervious surface associated with this development, the
water quality fees for this proposed development are based on commercial land use at
$1,640/acre. Based on the proposed Phases II through IV developed area of 13.88 acres, the
water quality fees associated with Phases II through IV of this project are $22,763.20.
