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 are no wetlands on the site. 28.The adjacent properties are privately-owned, undeveloped large tracts, with the exception of. i. a parcel to the north of lots 84 through 93,which is owned by Jeff Oelke and has one single-family dwelling,and ii. a parcel that is completely surrounded by the development, which is owned by Jerry Grossoehme and has one single-family dwelling. The highway access and limited development options of surrounding parcels makes this parcel suitable for the proposed approach. 29.The parcel is over 54 acres and is non-riparian.
