According to the applicant, the subdivision is requested to split the <br />existing farmstead off from the parent tract of farmland. <br /> <br />The proposed ownership and maintenance responsibility of the subdivision will be private. The subdivision will <br />use an existing 156th Ave SE road access, ditches for storm sewer conveyance, rural water, and on-site septic <br />systems for wastewater treatment. <br />Agency Comments <br />County Engineer <br />I have communicated with the Richards and Curt Skarphol regarding the need for a <br />lot grading plan. They acknowledged that they would provide one, but to date I <br />haven’t received a plan. My main concern is in regards to the existing flooding to <br />the west, north, and east on this lot and the proposed Western Cass FIS map. I <br />want to ensure that site plans won’t result in flood issues or a new structure being <br />brought into the floodplain when the Western Cass FIS is approved. <br />Water Resource District No comments were received prior to publishing the staff report. <br />Cass County Electric Cooperative No issues.
