3 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Curb Cut Access. The applicant is not proposing any changes to the curb cut access. In <br />addition, the driveway will remain at the proposed 27-foot width. <br /> <br />Landscaping. The applicants have submitted a landscape plan that shows ground cover of <br />seed, sod, and mulch. The plan also calls for the planting of 25 maple trees and 57 spruce <br />trees. The spruce trees will be planted on the south side of the property to provide for <br />screening. The maple trees will be planted in the fronts of the homes. The plan also notes <br />that some of the spruce trees on the southeast corner of the property may not be planted due <br />to natural vegetation in the area. The landscaping plan needs increased detail to identify all <br />site ground covers and planting areas. <br /> <br />Grading and Drainage Plan. The applicants have submitted a detailed drainage report. The <br />City Engineer shall review the plans and offer any necessary comments. With the change in <br />the location of the buildings, a review is necessary. <br /> <br />Impervious Surface / Green Space. The new site plan contains 55% impervious surface. <br />This includes the stormwater holding ponds on the west side of the property as pervious <br />space. The site contains 0.6 acres of green space or 37% of the total lot area. This equates <br />to 1,635 square feet of green space per unit. This is a vast improvement from the original <br />proposal. <br /> <br />Fire Truck Access / Turnaround. The potential for vehicle turn-around at the end of the <br />driveway has been eliminated with the proposed design. This would result in any <br />maintenance vehicle, firefighting vehicle, or even passenger vehicle relying on either an <br />unoccupied driveway for turn-around, or having to back out of the private street to leave the <br />site. This design needs to be revised before it can proceed. <br /> <br />One possible option, subject to approval of the City Engineer and Fire Marshal, would be to <br />eliminate the easternmost unit on each side and install a “hammer-head” turnaround space. <br /> <br />Association Declarations. The applicant will need to submit documents that establishes an <br />association and necessary maintenance agreements for review by the City Attorney. <br /> <br />Development Agreement. The applicant will need to enter into a development agreement <br />with the City ensuring the development is consistent with the PUD and Plat approvals. <br /> <br />Summary and Recommendation <br /> <br />The proposed revisions to the Winter Estates residential PUD show outstanding issues from <br />previous requirements, as well as introduce new concerns, that should be addressed before <br />staff can make a recommendation. In that regard, staff offers the following recommended <br />changes to the plan submittals prior to considering a recommendation of approval: <br /> <br />1. The building materials be specified to include LP siding around the sides and back of <br />the building. <br />
