The first goal of the Land Use chapter is to "preserve the rural, agricultural character of Scandia through zoning regulations, ordinances, and site design standards". The Plan also promotes to protection of natural resources, such as wetlands, when development occurs. The or000sed creation of two sinele-familv lots which comply with all code standards and will comply with wetland setbacks is consistent with the goals and policies in the Comprehensive Plan. Development Code Requirements: Density, Lot Size, Frontage, and Buildable Area The General Rural Zoning District includes the following standards for new parcels: • 4 buildable lots per 40 acres (original quarter -quarter section) • Minimum lot size: 2.0 acres • Minimum buildable area: 1.0 acres (43,560 square feet) • Minimum lot frontage on public roads: o Lots 4.0 acres or larger: 300 feet • Structure setbacks: o 40 feet front o 20 feet side o 50 feet rear The two parcels comply with the density, size, buildable area, frontage requirements, and structure setbacks of the Development Code. Accessory Structures No accessory structures are proposed at this time. Any accessory structures placed on the lots in the future shall comply with the standards of the Development Code. Wetlands and Slopes The Preliminary Plat shows the location of slopes on the lots and the general location of wetlands. A Wetland Delineation is required and will be completed as soon as spring growth 7 Maurer Minor Subdivision - Staff Report Submitted: April 9, 2019 Scandia City Council Page 5 Meeting: April 16, 2019 begins. No construction is proposed on the steep slopes or within required wetland setbacks, the boundaries of which will be confirmed with the Wetland Delineation. If the proposed location of the building sites is found to fall within wetland setback areas, then the building site should be shifted to avoid the setback area. Wastewater Treatment The applicant submitted a copy of soil tests for the septic system suitability for Lots 1 and 2, and the soil test areas are indicated on the Preliminary Plat. Based on the tests, the proposed lots have locations where soil is suitable for individual sewage treatment systems. The Planner included a proposed condition for approval of the subdivision that the applicant shall obtain a septic system permit from Washington County. Water Service An individual well will be required to provide water service to each lot. Lot Coverage The maximum lot coverage permitted in the General Rural District is 25%. Future development on the parcels shall meet the coverage requirement. Stormwater Management and Watershed District Comments The Planner sent the application to the Carnelian -Marine -St. Croix Watershed District for review. Jim Shaver, District Administrator, provided these comments: "This will require a District Permit for CMSCWD Rule no. 4.0 to establish buffers around any delineated wetlands or groundwater natural resources and shoreland areas on public waters." The Planner has included the requirement for a CMSCWD permit in the recommended conditions of approval. DNR Comments The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Area Hydrologist, Jenifer Sorensen, was sent the application for review, but had not commented at the time of this staff report. Drainage and Utility Easements and Rights -of --Way and City Engineer Comments The City Engineer reviewed the Preliminary and Final Plat for the minor subdivision and provided the following recommendations: I Maurer Minor Subdivision - Staff Report Scandia City Council Page 6 Submitted: April 9, 2019 Meeting: April 16, 2019 • Outlot A shown in the image below should be dedicated to the City and recorded as such on the Final Plat 14 I r ..
