Planning Commission/P 04-18 August 24,2004 Page 4 they be colonial in style,will there white picket fences throughout? Will there be flower boxes at each window or side loaded garages so garage doors are not highly visible from the road? There should be a clearly identified theme (i.e.Jackson Meadow) throughout the development and the theme needs to compliment the proposed materials. A determination needs to be made if one predetermined lantern near the end of each driveway is a lighting theme. As proposed, staff does not believe that criteria #2 and criteria #5 are met. This results in a total number of lots of 33. Streets The proposed plat has an east/west street (212`h Avenue) which connects with Windsor Park on the east. This street will be a cul-de-sac street (214`h Avenue) that terminates at about the mid point of the plat. The length of this cul-de-sac exceeds the city's requirements. The western edge of the cul-de-sac should not exceed 700-feet from the intersection of 212`h Avenue and 214`h Avenue. A proposed street (214`h Avenue) will connect to an existing street in Windsor Park 3'd on the north side of the plat. A second north/south street (214`' Circle) with a proposed connection to the property to the south is shown on the plat. Landscaping The proposed landscape plan shows two 2-inch caliper mature spruce trees per lot. This does not meet the ordinance requirements. Each lot is to have one yard tree and one boulevard tree (2 total per interior lot) and corner lots are to have one yard tree and one boulevard tree per street frontage (4 total per corner lot). The City will not accept a spruce tree as a boulevard tree, nor is it an appropriate species for the area. The boulevard trees will need to be an overhead or ornamental tree. The plan does not reflect the extra tree per lot that was indicated in the applicant's narrative for density bonuses. Parks and Recreation The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended that park dedication be in the form of cash. Grading, Drainage and Utilities Grading, Drainage and Utilities are addressed in the City Engineer's memo. Recommendation Unless criteria #2 and criteria #5 are met, staff recommends that only 33 lots be approved. If the concerns with criteria #2 and criteria #5 are met, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the request for 35 lots with the following conditions: S:APLANNING\case Piles\2004\P 04-18 Windsor Meadows VP 04-18_PC.doc
