Each lot created through subdivision must be suitable in its natural state for the proposed use with minimal alteration. Suitability analysis by the local unit of government shall consider susceptibility to flooding, existence of wetlands, soil and rock formations with severe limitations for development, severe erosion potential, steep topography, inadequate water supply or sewage treatment capabilities, near-shore aquatic conditions unsuitable for water-based recreation, important fish and wildlife habitat, or any other feature of the natural land, the disturbance of which is likely to be harmful to the health, safety, or welfare of future residents of the proposed subdivision or of the community.

(Ord. No. 62, § 4(Subd. A), 9-13-1993)

Subdivisions must conform to all official controls of Spring Park. A subdivision will not be approved where a later variance from one or more standards in official controls would be needed to use the lots for their intended purpose.

(Ord. No. 62, § 4(Subd. B), 9-13-1993)

Sufficient information must be submitted by the applicant for Spring Park to make a determination of land suitability. The information shall include at least the following:

(1)

Topographic contours at ten-foot intervals or less from United States Geological Survey maps or more accurate sources, showing limiting site characteristics.

(2)

The surfacewater features required in Minn. Stat. § 505.02, subdiv. 1, to be shown on plats, obtained from United States Geological Survey quadrangle topographic maps or more accurate sources.

(3)

Adequate soils information to determine suitability for building.

(4)

Information regarding adequacy of domestic water supply; extent of anticipated vegetation and topographic alterations; near-shore aquatic conditions, including depths, types of bottom sediments, and aquatic vegetation; and proposed methods for controlling stormwater runoff and erosion, both during and after construction activities.

(5)

Location of 100-year floodplain areas and floodway districts from existing adopted maps or data.

(6)

A line or contour representing the ordinary high-water level, the toe and the top of bluffs, and the minimum building setback distances from the top of the bluff and the lake or stream.

(Ord. No. 62, § 4(Subd. C), 9-13-1993)

When a land or easement dedication is a condition of subdivision approval, the approval must provide easements over natural drainage or ponding areas for management of stormwater and significant wetlands.

(Ord. No. 62, § 4(Subd. D), 9-13-1993)

As-built surveys shall be furnished to the city by the subdivider for all required improvements upon their completion and prior to a certificate of occupancy for each home/structure or building addition that is part of such subdivision. Such as-built surveys shall be certified to be true and accurate by the registered engineer responsible for the installation of improvements. As-built surveys shall include the following:

(1)

Shall certify the final topography of the site.

(2)

Shall verify the drainage patterns existing upon completion of work.

(3)

Shall include calculations of setback information for all structures and hard surfaces/groundcover/impervious.

(4)

As-built surveys must be approved prior to placement of trees, sod, and lawn irrigation systems.

(5)

Shall include any additional information needed by the city to ensure compliance with code.
