MEMO TO: Planning Commission Director of Public Work.:;/CommuniLy Development PROM: Engineering/Planning Technician DATE: August 25, 1902 t ulm,cl'i Wayne Herr Condominium Proho::al Attached for your review and consideration is a revised site plan received August 24 and a .leLtcr from the engineer to the developer giving his response to the concerns the Planning Commission voiced at your July 7 regular meeting (a copy of the minutes is also attached). Staff has reviewed the site plan pursuant to the Planning Commission concerns. A brief summary follows: 1) Ten foot distance from curb to building - Section 40.22, Subdivision C(1) states that no building shall be located less than 20 feet from the back of the curb line. Original° plans show a 10 foot distance between the building and curb. The developer has revised the site plan, changing the design of the building by eliminating a breakfast nook area to the rear of the building, thus narrowing its size. Revised ' plans now show a 20 foot distance from building to curb. 2) Snow removal issue - The engineer has addressed this item in his letter whereby the homeowners association will provide snow removal for the emergency vehicle access and the snow will be deposited in the open areas of the site, not on Knollwood Drive right-of-way. Staff's concern is still that during the plowing of this area, snow will be deposited directly on lots adjacent to this 25 foot right-of-way. The fire department .is requiring that the fi,1.1- 14-25 foot ::idth be plowed for emergency access. Should the snow plow "slip" from one side to another and not stay within this 25 foot right-of-way area, the plow may end up tearing up the lawns of adjacent property owners. Staff would recommend the Planning Commission review this item. 3) Emergency overflow approval from Rice Creek Watershed District - Staff has received a permit approval from Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) for the construction of a 40 unit condominium development. This permit was issued based upon a previous site plan, when the developer was proposing 5-8 unit buildings. I have spoken with the engineers from RCWD and they said that the developer has submitted all necessary material needed, including a plaii fur emergency overflow, for RCWD to approve and the engineers are recommending approval of the plan. Emergency overflow will occur via the existing swale to the southwest and flow will be no greater Lhan Resolution No. 983 allows.
