We would recommend that the most easterly access point onto 183rd Avenue be eliminated. It would be reasonable to allow this as a temporary access for the development of the first phase of the project, which we understand to be the most easterly group of homes. Once the second phase is developed, and the second access onto 183rd Avenue is constructed, this temporary access could be removed. This will eliminate any future conflicts with access and turning moments on 183rd Avenue, relatively close to the intersection of Joplin Street. There has been a question raised, as to what the best method of providing for the off-street parking. One alternative would be to run a barrier type curb around • behind the parking to delineate it, and also preclude cars from moving off of the blacktop surface onto grass areas. The other alternative would be to run the surmountable curb through the front of the parking areas, and just to provide a blacktop parking area behind the curb with no delineation between the blacktop and the grass area. The second alternative does not preclude cars from parking off of the blacktop, but does make it easier for drainage of these areas. It is proposed by the developer that all streets constructed within this twin home development be privately owned and maintained. This is acceptable according to previous projects of a similar nature. C. Preliminary Utility Plan Sanitary sewer and watermain proposed to serve the site would be publicly owned and operated, and will need to fall within easements for City assessibility. The sanitary sewer and water are adequately sized to service the development. The Fire Chief has recommended the modification of some of the hydrant locations. There are as follows: ■ A hydrant between Lots 8 and 11 to be moved south of Lot 3 • A new hydrant to be added north of Lot 20 • • A hydrant between Lots 26 and 29 to be relocated between Lots 36 and 37 • The hydrant located between Lots 60 and 61 to be moved from the east side of the parking area to the west side of the parking area.
