In addition, pond and wetland areas would mandate a significant setback between proposed building sites and existing homes on adjacent properties. However, the building pad for Lot 2, Block 4 extends to within 18 feet of the existing wetland and proposed 100 year High Water Elevation. While the City had no requirements with regard to wetland setbacks, staff recommends that the building pad, on this lot, be modified to maximize the usable yard space on this lot. Street and Block Design. Two accesses to the site, from Birch Street, were proposed at the existing Pheasant Hills Drive and Sherman ake Road intersections. Street A extended southerly into the development from Birch t, loops back and tied into Street B. Street B was proposed to extend fro s =`" t to the easterly property line of the development to provide a connectio fu i ment to the east.

Staff had reviewed this 'Department and the Centennial Lakes Fire Department and determined that there are no access concerns with the proposed layout. Staff was also recommending that the applicant provide a street stub alignment to the south of the development in the approximate location of Street G. This would allow for a future connection with East Holly Drive. The 2001 Transportation Plan identified East Holly Drive as a future Minor Collector and proposes its future connection with Holly Drive to the west and southerly to Ash Street (County J). While these projects were not planned in the near term, it would be practical to reserve the option to connect this subdivision to Holly Street in the future.
