Memo to Planning Commission Page 6 May 23, 1995 • considered a "dense" development for an Rlc (urban) residential development. Redesign of 195th Court In the vicinity of 195th Court along the main trail corridor at the west edge of the development, a significant stand of oak trees exists. These trees have not been specifically located on the plan. Staff would suggest that further investigation and locating the trees in this particular area occur to final plat approval. Since this area is in a later phase of the development, the preliminary plat could be approved with a condition that this area be further studied and redesigned accordingly. Questionable Lots Throughout the plat there is a handful of lots that have either an irregular lot shape or reduced lot depth or width. Although some of these lots may not present as significant a problem due to their overall size. Furthermore, there a couple of areas on the plat that may be slightly enhanced if a lot was eliminated and lot lines adjusted accordingly. • The following is a list of lots and areas that should be given consideration: • Eliminate one lot from 195th Circle • Eliminate one lot from the area of Tipton Court and 196th Circle • Some of the lots along Upland Avenue appear to have unusual configurations. This may change when the curves in Upland are corrected pursuant to the City Engineer's recommendation. Amenities/Entrance Features The developer has indicated that the entrance points to this development will have a significant amount of landscaping and entrance features, providing a strong identification. Additional plans illustrating these proposed improvements along with any other amenities proposed for the project should be submitted prior to approval. Recommendation It is recommended that the Planning Commission recommend the following: A. Approval of the comprehensive plan amendment expanding the urban • service boundary. s:planning:pc:P95-2
