Heritage Landing 2nd Page 2 <br /> April 26, 1994 <br /> • EXISTING TREES <br /> Currently, the property has several stands of existing trees. Towards the <br /> southeast are primarily oaks and towards the northwest are a combination of <br /> ornamental trees which line the driveway to Mr. Kincanon's house, along <br /> with conifers on the opposite side of the driveway. The developer plans on <br /> relocating as many conifers and ornamentals as possible prior to grading the <br /> site. However, some trees will be loss due to their proximity to one another <br /> or grade changes. <br /> CUL DE SAC <br /> The proposed cul-de-sac is approximately two hundred and eighty feet in <br /> length which falls within the requirements set forth in the City zoning <br /> ordinance. The cul-de-sac has a large landscaped island, which at its widest <br /> point is approximately 100 feet in width. This island will provide a nice <br /> opportunity for landscaping to be placed to create an aesthetic environment <br /> at the end of the cul-de-sac. As mentioned by Terry Maurer, the road width <br /> and radius within the cul-de-sac will have to be modified to improve <br /> circulation. One other issue which needs further review is how the City <br /> • should best handle maintenance of the center of the island within the cul-de- <br /> sac. Terry Maurer has suggested creating an outlot and dividing that <br /> particular outlot among the nine lots within the plat. This may work, <br /> however, further review is needed. <br /> LANDSCAPING <br /> As indicated at the last Planning Commission meeting, plats are required to <br /> provide one overstory tree for every 60 lineal feet. This same requirement <br /> will apply to Heritage Landing Second Addition and will have to be reflected <br /> on a landscape plan submitted for staff review and approval. <br /> RE COMMENDATION <br /> It is recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of the <br /> requested Preliminary Plat for Heritage Landing Second Addition with the <br /> following conditions: <br /> 1. TREE PRESERVATION PLAN BE SUBMITTED ALONG WITH <br /> A GRADING PLAN TO ILLUSTRATE THOSE AREAS OF <br /> TREES THAT WILL BE SAVED DURING GRADING OF THE <br /> • PLAT. <br /> heritage.planning <br />
