Wetlands The applicant is proposing to fill wetlands and will be meeting with the wetland Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) regarding the wetland mitigation plan.

One access will be from Twin Lakes Road, at the Tyler Street intersection and the second access will be in the south through Trott Brook Farms (Smith Street). The ordinance requires that all streets be public. The two main loop streets that service the townhouses should be public streets. The smaller drives and dead-end drives can be private. Sidewalks are required on one side of each public street in the R3 district. Sidewalks should also be included on one side of each public street in the single family area of the project. Park and Recreation The applicant proposed that Outlot A, which is 4.46 acres, be dedicated as park. The Park and Recreation Commission recommended that Outlot A be enlarged to 6 acres and the remainder of the park dedication requirements be met with cash. There should also be a pedestrian connection provided from Street B to Outlot K of Trott Brook Farms. This connection should be located between Lots 5 and 6, Block 4 along the southern boundary of the plat. The Commission also asked that a private playground be provided in the townhouse component of the project. Landscaping and Tree Preservation The landscape plan does not comply with the landscape requirements. Two trees per lot and additional landscaping around the townhouses is required.
