Planning Commission Minu~es Page 10 July 23, 1996 Further discussion followed regarding drainage in the northem portion of the property and routing to the culvert in this area. Commissioner Minton asked what the plans were for buffering the single family residential and park area from the PUD. Steve Ach indicated the proposed plans do not illustrate much of a buffer; however, additional landscaping should be considered for these areas. In response to comments regarding increased traffic on Highland, Terry Maurer stated he did not feel the traffic will not be increased significantly by this development, especially given the type of development. He agreed it is best not to have a street connection within the PUD to the north. Discussion followed regarding the preservation of trees. Steve Ach stated that roughly 3/4 of the existing trees will be removed. Staff has suggested the possibility of requiring the proposed four single family lots located along Highland Road be incorporated into the PUD and remain open space as well as shifting the townhouse units to maximize the amount of green space.
