13. Provisions for surface water ponding, drainage and flood control. Drainage plans shall include a delineation of all ponds, infiltration facilities, ditches, public waters and wetlands located on and adjacent to the site, including the normal water level (NWL), the 100-year high water level (HWL), and the ordinary high water level (OHW).
14. A stormwater pollution prevention plan shall be submitted for review and approval by the city engineer in the following cases: Subdivision applications for projects containing one or more acres of land. Said plan shall conform to the requirements of section 11-7-12 of this title. (Ord. 2009-007, 3-2-2009)
D. Compliance With Provisions: The items listed in this section shall be in conformance with all other applicable sections of this title.
E. Platting Adjoining Lands: A preliminary plat shall contain the entire tax parcel to be platted plus all of the owner's contiguous lands unless such lands are subject to a planned unit development or the city planner and city engineer agree to waive such requirement. The final plat may cover only a portion of the preliminary plat, provided it is in conformance with the approved preliminary plat, development contract and other requirements herein.
F. Traffic Impacts: The applicant shall provide the city with one of the following:
1. A complete traffic study, modeled on Synchro/Simtraffic software, with up to date and accurate inputs of average daily vehicle trips on the following roadways, including projected average daily vehicle trips to and from the property proposed to be platted assuming full development of such property: 50th and 57th Streets, County Highways 18, 19, 35 and 37. All traffic count modeling shall be performed for the following three (3) time periods: A.M. peak, P.M. peak, and twenty four (24) hour. The traffic study shall also model the improvements deemed reasonably necessary by the city engineer to facilitate the traffic proposed to be generated by the property proposed to be platted; or
2. Developer shall provide the city with projected average daily vehicle trips to and from the property proposed to be platted assuming full development, said vehicle trips to be broken down into the following three (3) time periods: A.M. peak, P.M. peak, and twenty four (24) hour. The developer shall pay the cost incurred by the city in updating the Synchro/Simtraffic traffic model developed by SEH, Inc., and shall pay the city a portion of the cost paid by the city to develop the Synchro/Simtraffic traffic model, said portion to be equal to eighty six dollars ($86.00) per gross acre of land to be platted.
G. Supplementary Information: Any or all of the supplementary information requirements set forth in this subsection shall be submitted when deemed necessary by the city staff, consultants, advisory bodies and/or city council:
1. Proposed protective covenants or private restrictions.
2. A survey prepared by a qualified person identifying tree coverage in the proposed subdivision in terms of type, weakness, maturity, potential hazard, infestation, vigor, density and spacing. A vegetation preservation and protection plan that shows those trees proposed to be removed and those to remain. The types and locations of trees and other vegetation that are to be planted may also be required.
3. Statement of the proposed use of lots stating type of buildings with number of proposed dwelling units or type of business or industry, so as to reveal the effect of the development on traffic, fire hazards, and congestion of population. The city may require the applicant or developer to have formal traffic or other studies performed to the city's satisfaction which show the effect of the proposed development on traffic, fire hazards and congestion.
4. If any zoning changes are contemplated, the proposed zoning plan for the areas, including dimensions, shall be shown. Such proposed zoning plan shall be for information only and shall not vest any rights in the applicant.
5. Where structures are to be placed on large or excessively deep lots which are subject to potential replat, the preliminary plat shall indicate a logical way in which the lots could possibly be resubdivided in the future.
6. A plan for soil erosion and sediment control both during construction and after development has been completed. The plan shall include gradients of waterways, design of velocity and erosion control measures, design of sediment control measures, and landscaping of the erosion and sediment control system. Such plans are to be in accordance with the technical standards and specifications of the soil conservation service, as provided by the Wright County soil and water conservation district office.
