Chapter 11, Subdivision Regulations Review 1. Minimum Subdivision Design Standards—Section 1130 City Code Section 1130.05 Easements City subdivision regulations require dedication of a minimum 12-foot wide utility and drainage easement along the right-of-way and centered on common lot lines. The Preliminary Plat includes 12-foot utility and drainage easements that are centered on the common lots lines throughout the development and 12-foot easements along the New Brighton Road right-of-way and the rear property lines. The proposed utility and drainage easements meet the City's minimum requirements. Where a subdivision is traversed by a watercourse, a drainage easement is required to be dedicated substantially conforming to the lines of the watercourse. There is an existing landlocked pond located on the easterly half of the site and the Applicant is proposing a stormwater collection pond at the northwest corner of the landlocked pond. The applicant has provided a drainage easement around the perimeter of both ponds. In addition, a 16.5 foot conservation easement is located around the existing pond. A conservation easement is a voluntary legal agreement between a landowner and government agency. The intent of the conservation easement is to permanently limit uses of the land in order to protect the surrounding buffer area and the overall pond water quality.
