MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 27, 2003 1008.030 (c) The grading and drainage plan has not been approved by the City Engineer due to deficiencies in the Developer's submittals as indicated in staff reports. 1008.030 (f) Based on grading and drainage plan submitted with the final plat, landscaping required by preliminary plat approval (landscaping along south boundary of Preserve Court right-of--way) cannot be complied with. The proposed final plat of The Preserve is non-compliant with the preliminary plat approval granted on October 23, 2002 based on the following: 1. Grading and Drainage Issues: a. The Grading and Drainage Plan varies significantly from the Preliminary Plat by increasing road elevations of Preserve Court by two to three feet and by creating the need for several retaining walls necessary to support building pad locations throughout the plat, many of which encroach on the required wetland buffer, an area that is to remain undisturbed. b. The Grading and Drainage Plan submitted for City Council approval has not been updated to fully reflect the revised retaining wall and grading design of rear yards on most lots in the plat. c. The Grading and Drainage Plan varies significantly from the Preliminary Plat by creating the need for several steep (2:1 ratio) slopes from the building pad area to the wall that is adjacent to the wetland and wetland buffer area. This wall is needed to support the lot. d. The Grading and Drainage Plan varies significantly from the Preliminary Plat by creating the need for a retaining wall of more than ten feet in height supporting a proposed public street and utility lines that would be severely affected by any defect in the wall. e. The Grading and Drainage Plan results in removal of landscaping required by the conditions of the Preliminary Plat approval, including landscaping along the south boundary of the right of way, and landscaping along the wetland buffer. 8. Preserve Court Road Right-of--Way Issues: a. The Final Plat proposes to create a right of way dedication for public street, a portion of which is encumbered by the Williams Bros. pipeline easement, in contradiction to the conditions attached to the Preliminary Plat approval, and in contradiction to the City's right of way ordinance (City Code Chapter 2302). 15
