PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICATION <br />& PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) APPLICATION <br /> <br /> <br />4. Comment No. 13: Driveways must have a minimum separation of at least 5-feet, which is not <br />met at Block 1: Lots 8-9, and Lots 12-13, and is potentially not met at Block 2: Lots 12-13. <br />Response: All driveways have been updated for improved configuration and safety. <br />The driveways also meet the minimum 5’ separation and maximum 34’ width at the <br />right-of-way. <br />5. Comment No. 14: Driveway and layout configuration must be improved for Block 1 Lots 8, <br />9,12,13,19 and 22. <br />Response: All driveways have been updated for improved configuration and safety. <br />The driveways also meet the minimum 5’ separation and maximum 34’ width at the <br />right-of-way. <br />6. Comment: Drainage and utility easement encroachments are shown for the building pad at <br />Block 1: Lots 23, 24, and 25; and Block 2: Lots 5-8. This encroachment is not recommended. <br />If permitted, the property owner will be required to enter into an easement encroachment <br />agreement. <br />Response: The Applicant requests that these encroachments, which are not building <br />encroachments but rather patio encroachments be allowed. The Applicant is <br />agreeable to an easement encroachment agreement. <br />7. Comment No. 34: Landscape Improvements. The site plan as proposed does not allow room <br />for landscape improvements along much of the development boundaries due to small/dry <br />utility easements, storm sewer pipes and easements, and stormwater infiltration basin and <br />required maintenance access. Therefore, the site plan may not offer much for screening and <br />buffers. Any preliminary plan application must include a detailed landscape plan that <br />includes all utilities and pond facilities to demonstrate no encroachments. <br />Response: The previously submitted sketch plan did not include a landscape plan. A <br />detailed landscape plan has been provided with this application. <br /> <br />PRELIMINARY PLAT NARRATIVE <br /> <br />A. Contact Information <br /> <br />a.
