Proposed 47 Unit Residential Development

Alternatives Assessment 
 
 
Alternate Site Plan No. 1 
 
Alternate Site Plan No. 1 provides for 47 single family homes with two access points from Clark Lane.  At 
the southeasterly corner of the project, the private roadway includes a cul-de-sac with units located around the 
cul-de-sac bulb.  A stormwater basin and recreation area is shown adjacent to the cul-de-sac.  This design 
concept was rejected due to the limited undisturbed buffer to the wetland soils.  In some areas, clearing and 
grading would have been necessary within 10’ of wetlands. 
 
 
Alternate Site Plan No. 2 
 
Alternate Site Plan No. 2 provides for 47 single family homes with two access points from Clark Lane.  A 
stormwater basin is shown adjacent to wetlands in the southeasterly corner of the project.  This design 
concept was rejected due to the limited undisturbed buffer to wetland soils near the stormwater basin. 
 
 
Selected Site Design 
 
The selected site design provides for 47 single family homes with two access points from Clark Lane.  The 
homes are clustered closer together than in either of the alternate designs.  The closer clustering allows for 
more room in the southeasterly corner of the site for both a stormwater treatment and management system 
and a recreational walking path.  Less impervious coverage is also required because of the reduction in 
roadway length.  With the exception of the stormwater system outlet, a 50’ undisturbed buffer to wetlands has 
been maintained.  Because of the additional space for stormwater management, an existing uncontrolled and 
untreated stormwater discharge from the municipal system on Clark Lane will be captured and treated before 
being released to receiving wetlands.
