12. A grading plan has been submitted that includes plan/profile views as well as cross sections that detail the amount of grading to be done. The grading plan demonstrates an understanding of the development and presents how the sites will be accessed as well as how stormwater will be adequately handled on site. 13. Four storm shelters are proposed for the site, although they are not required in Minnesota for campgrounds. The plans have been submitted to the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry for review. On the Design Criteria for a Planned Unit Development 14. The proposed development contains 168 units, exceeding the minimum requirement of three units for a PUD. 15. A vegetative screening plan has been submitted. All facilities and sites are set back a minimum of fifty feet from the lot lines. The screening plan indicates that the property will be adequately screened as viewed from adjacent properties and rights- of-way. 16. Open space is calculated to be 43% of the site, exceeding the minimum requirement Of 25%. 17. Common space is 6o% of the project area, exceeding the minimum requirement of 50%. 18. A stormwater plan has been submitted, along with detailed calculations, indicating how stormwater is to be handled on the site. Stormwater will be adequately handled on this site. 19. The applicant has provided preliminary water supply and wastewater treatment design information. This information is adequate to demonstrate that the site is capable of providing water and for handling wastewater flows from the proposed development. `. 20.The preliminary drainage plan includes erosion control elements.The EAW indicates that stormwater permitting from the MPCA is being applied for. 21. The applicant has submitted an exterior lighting plan indicating type of lighting to be used and lighting patterns. The implementation of this plan, along with conditions included with this development,will be adequate to address concerns with lighting. 22.The property contains no shoreline and the development will not provide access to any shore recreation facilities. 23.Building standards specified in the Ordinance do not apply as the proposed dwelling units will be recreational vehicles, not constructed dwellings. The resort will be operated seasonally and,therefore,winterizing of the water systems is not necessary. 24.Parking and driving areas are proposed to be paved. On the Suitability for a Planned Unit Development 25.There is no recreational use of surface waters provided with this development. There will likely be an increase in the use of the area's lakes as a result of this development as the development will provide more opportunities for people to live in and visit the area. The overall increase in surface water usage associated with this development is not measurable with any currently known data and is not believed to be significant. 26.The aesthetic impacts of increased density are unknown, but it is believed that they can be mitigated through screening and buffering. 27. The land contains areas that are relatively flat with good building sites and other areas that have difficult terrain, making this site suitable for the Planned Unit Development approach. There is one wetland that crosses onto the site at the southeast corner of the property. 28.The adjacent properties are privately-owned, undeveloped large tracts, with the exception of a parcel to the north of lots 6o through 70,which is owned by Jeff Oelke and has one single-family dwelling.
