1. You may want to consider including in the HOA that the Architectural Control Committee
regulate fences, especially in connection with corner lots.
2. Alley layout needs further study. With arrangement as shown, Lots 5, 14, and 36 of
the perimeter block face potentially unsightly situations.
-Lots 14 and 36 look down the alley.
-LOt 5 faces the garage and backyard fence likely to be built on Lot 1 of the interior
block.
-An alley starting on the south opposite the property line between Lots 20 and
21 of the perimeter block continuing northward and exiting near the west side of LOt
1 of the 2-lot block would create fewer visual problems.
-LOt 34 of the perimeter block is likely to face backyard fences on Lots 25 and
26, so that potential problem needs to be solved.
-Lots 39 and 45 of the perimeter block are large enough to take a front yard
setback on both street frontages, so the final plan should reflect that.
3. There may be a justification for waiving alley requirements along Grapevine Creek. There is
insufficient justification for waiving them alongside the railroad and church property.
4. Show the transmission line.
5. Out of the 15 most southerly lots proposed, 6 lots adjoin the railroad and power
transmission line. Gaining these lots requires paving 3 cul-de-sacs. Without the 3
cul-de-sacs, the most southerly street would accommodate 12 lots, all removed from
the railroad and transmission line by 100 feet or more. A cost/revenue analysis may
prove that a 3-lot gain does not justify the cost and that extending open spaces
between the park site and the church site would be a better alternative.
6. Provide additional access to the City's Hike and Bike trail system.
