1. The minimum street offset from Allen Road must be 125'. A variance may be requested to
allow the proposed street layout.
2. Provide a drainage area map.
3. The existing FEMA map shows that this property is located in the 100-year floodplain. No
development will be allowed until a flood study is submitted and approved by the City and
FEMA. The property will have to be replatted when the 100-year floodplain limit line is
changed.

COMMENT STATUS: "~ ~' '~ "-"" ' "~' __~-gtNAg
The developer should be made aware that the proposed development is affected by the
Park Dedication Ordinance stipulating $1,285.00 per dwelling unit.
The developer shows 112" of protected tree removal, 30" of tree preseroation and 112"
of tree replacements. Replacement caliper inches of trees can count as credit for up to
50% of tree removal reparation, equaling 56 total inches. This amount, added to the
30" of preserved trees, equal the total amount of credit due against tree removal
reparation (86'). An additional 26" of trees require reparation per section 34 of the
zoning ordinance.
Also, it appears that one of the proposed Chinese Pistachio on the southern end of the
property will interfere with existing tree #3, which is scheduled to remain.
