Silverview Estates Dev. Co. Preliminary Plat&Development Review Planning Cases 501-97 and 502-97 . August 20, 1997 Page 4 Applicant's Response: Our consultant selected a landscaping plan format designed to provide some flexibility to the type of plantings but not the sizes. A more detailed planting schedule will be provided We will also use our tree inventory data to show what size and type of trees will be saved around the existing wetland • The development stage plan must receive approval for delineation of the wetland from the Rice Creek Watershed District prior to consideration by the Planning Commission. Applicant's Response: This development will be reviewed by Rice Creek Watershed at their August 27`h meeting Staff review and comments to date have been favorable. • The City's Engineer (Rocky Keehn, SEH) has reviewed the submitted drawings for drainage design. His comments to the City on the drainage design are contained in a memorandum dated August 8, 1997, which is enclosed with this letter. Mr. Keen has identified additional information that must be submitted in order for him to complete his review. Submittal of this information and City Engineer approval of the preliminary grading plan, erosion control plan and drainage plan is necessary prior to Planning Commission action on the development stage plan. • Applicant's Response: Our engineer, Chuck Plowe, will continue to work with Rocky Keehn. • The submission does not include the required lighting plan that is to indicate lighting location and type as well as site photometrics. Applicant's Response: Lighting plans showing fixture type and locations and the foot candle meter readings are being prepared for each site. • Snow storage areas have not been identified on the plan as required. Applicant's Response: Snow storage areas will be shown on the site plan. We believe we have ample space on site to store a "typical" snow fall event. However, in the event of severe snow fall conditions, it would be necessary to truck snow off site. • A coordinated sign program will need to be submitted prior to Planning Commission consideration of the development stage plan. The sign program must show sign type, location (with appropriate setbacks), materials and text. Applicant's Response: The convenience store sign plans are near completion. Plans for • signs at the other buildings are under consideration. It is our intent to again coordinate the materials used for sign support.
