All the wetlands/detention pond areas appear to be in the open space areas. Open space areas behind building lots need to be marked so these areas do not become yard extensions for the home owner. The HOA will need to monitor these areas. Subsurface drain tile may exist on this site. Drainage tile need to be maintained and repaired if damaged during construction. The existing drain tile should not be used as on outlet for the house roof water. Streams on this site will be subject to riparian setbacks per township regulations. 25 feet would be the minimum setback. The primary soil types are Mahoning Silt Loam. This soil has a seasonal high water table and is slow to drain. When the site is cleared, erosion control practices must be in place. Homes with basements will need to plan for seasonal high water table. Footer tile will be required to maintain basement stability. Staff Comments: 1.
