JUL -20 -2001 09:06 MAC 612 595 9837 P.03/03 6. RWMWD says that additional permitting will be necessary due to the additional work proposed beyond that of the previous grading permit. 7. Planning staff has suggested that the same 50 foot native landscape /new landscape buffer be maintained along the pond boundary on the Rice Street site. RWMWD is Tess concerned about this buffer width due to the narrower band of existing vegetation. 8. Planning Staff had recommended a paved driveway extending from the Rice Street site through to the parking areas on the Spruce Street site. The applicant had agreed to construct a paved driveway across the Rice Street site to the boundary between the two sites, but requested that the Spruce Street site be all gravel and recycled bituminous material in the storage yard area. Staff agreed to robin tho recommendation for a oontinuouo paved driveway. If the location of this driveway is directly adjacent to the fence line, it should be less likely to interfere with equipment operations on the Spruce Street site's storage yard. 9. As noted in previous reports, the Rice Street site's plan shows little detail as to use or organization. This should be identified in detail on a revised site plan for the PUD. 10. The grade adjacent to the west boundary of the Spruce Street site is extremely steep (approximately 2:1). This should be lessened to at least 3:1 for ease of maintenance, and a landscape plan developed with material that will not require mowing. Options may include re- grading or the use of retaining walls. 11. Drainage along the Spruce Street access appears to be adequate as designed, but will require additional engineering review. 12. There appear to be other locations where the resulting grade is excessive, Including an area along the Spruce Street driveway. This should be modified to create maintainable slopes. 13. The Spruce Street site plan should be revised to fully identified the surfacing material and proposed use of all spaces, including buildings and outdoor areas. There are likely other issues to be addressed in revised plans. A requirement for final plans reflecting all changes should be added as a condition to any approval granted to the PUD. pc; Joel Hanson Terry Maurer PAGE 28 TOTAL P.03
