Agency Reviewed By Review Date Comments
Parks and Recreation John Elias 6/24/04 1) Park Development fees of $1285 per unit.
2) A Tree removal Permit will be required pdor to
removing any protected trees from this site.
3) Tree Calculations on Tree Survey & Mitigation plan
are incorrect.
4) Tree Survey information is incorrect. All trees are
protected if they are 10" or greater. Remove dead trees
from survey.
5) Leyland Cypress is not sold by caliper inch, they are
sold by container size or heigth. Making it extremely
difficult to mitigate, each one will need to be field
measured to assure they are 3" DBH.
Planning Depadment Gary Sieb 6~22~04
SITE PLAN
1. Density a bit high: 30' lot widths in TH; 25' front yards
in TH; 20' rear yards in TH; minimum dwelling size shall
be 1,000 square feet with average size overall at least
1,300 square feet. With increased utility widths (see
Engineering comments) density will probably be
reduced
2. Structures can not be built over easements
3. CLEARLY Identify all common areas on site plan
4. All parking spaces should be located outside public
r.o.w. (See Engineering comments)
5. Variable front building line on units along Snowshill
Trail desirable; pretty monotonous as presented
6. Change notation on all exhibits from "Guard House"
to "Entry Tower"
7. Add total number of GUESTparking spaces to "Lot
Data" entry.
8. Define "Amenity Center" and show proposed
development--arbor, pool, building, etc.
9. Will 6 and 4 foot metal fencing have identical brick
columns with rest of fencing?
10. Minimum square footages of units do not
track--1600, 1000, 900 feet?
11. Amenity Center must abide by all regulations of City
codes.
12. Show all curb cuts on north side of Lake Vista Drive.
ELEVATIONS
1. Much more detail is needed with regard to the photos
of elevations submitted. We need actual elevation
drawings showing materials, dimensions, floor plans,
details, etc.
2. Show elevations of entrytower (size, height, building
material, foot pdnt, etc.)
LANDSCAPE/WALL PLAN
1. Eliminating 59 of 76 trees seems excessive. Our
Landscape Ordinance encourages preservation of
existing tree stock not elimination
2. Why no landscaping of median island on east end of
project?
3. Why no landscaping of Lot 8X, Block A?
4. Define "Amenity Center Site", what goes in there?
5. Does brick screening wall have soldier course with
weep holes at base?
6. Provide landscape calculations as required by Sec.
