Standard drainage and utility easements must be dedicated along all lot lines, wetlands and storm water features. 2.

The 2018 rates for the charges are (per lot): sanitary trunk, $1,873; sanitary lateral, $4,858; sanitary service, $819; water lateral, $4,512; and water service, $1,101, for a total of $13,163. When future subdivisions or utility connections occur on Lot 1 or on Outlot A, the properties will be subject to connection charges for trunk sanitary sewer, lateral sanitary sewer and service, and lateral water and service. 3. Park dedication to be paid for one lot at the 2019 rate of $4,449 per unit. The total park dedication fee is $4,449. 4. The existing accessory building on Lot 1 is permitted as a part of the existing CUP (granted in 2013) (Res. 13-095) and is required to be used for personal use only. The creation of Lot 2 creates a setback of only 25 feet from the property line for the accessory building. The sheltering of domestic farm animals (horses included) requires the building to be setback from the property line 50 feet. Therefore, animals will not be permitted to be sheltered in the existing accessory building. 5.
