Memo to Mayor and City Council/P 01-14 <br />September 17, 2001 <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />Access <br /> <br />Access to the units will be provided by three public streets with the primary entry at the <br />easterly edge of the property from County Road 12. Streets will be connected to the south <br />property line in anticipation of adjacent development on the property to the south. The City <br />Engineer is requesting the removal of Street A's connection to Twin Lake Road except as a <br />temporary emergency vehicle access. Access to Twin Lake Road will occur on the property <br />to the south in alignment with Industrial Circle on the west side of Twin Lake Road. <br /> <br />Access also needs to be provided internally to the Black property located in the <br />northwesterly corner of the project. The City and the County would like to close the current <br />access onto County Road 12 from this single family dwelling, as it is too close to the <br />intersection. <br /> <br />The driveways to the units will be a minimum of 22 feet long (condominium units) to 30 feet <br />long (rambler style townhomes adjacent to Street B). The private driveways serving the <br />condominium units are proposed to be 20 feet wide; they will need to be painted and signed <br />for no parking. The private streets serving the ramblers will be 28 feet wide; they will need <br />to be signed no parking on one side. <br /> <br />The City Engineer has addressed other access issues in his memo. <br /> <br />The County is requesting a traffic study for the access location onto County Road 12. <br /> <br />Grading and Drainage <br /> <br />Grading and drainage issues have been addressed in the City Engineer's memo. <br /> <br />Utilities <br /> <br />Utility issues have also been addressed in the City Engineer's memo. <br /> <br />Landscaping/Tree Preservation <br /> <br />A general landscape plan has been submitted by the applicant. A minimum of 312 trees <br />need to be provided based on two trees per lot, the landscape plan provides 233 trees. <br />Credit can be given for large trees that are saved on site, but a more detailed tree inventory <br />needs to be completed prior to credit being given. <br /> <br />The trees to be preserved are along the east side, over the gas main easement on the west <br />side, and in the central wetland area. A small clump of trees will be saved in the center of <br />the project. <br /> <br />No detailed landscape plan for around the units was provided. <br /> <br />Historic Preservation <br /> <br />S:XPLANNING\MICHMC\CCREPRTS\P01-14.DOC <br /> <br /> <br />
