Memo to Planning Commission/P 97-16 <br /> October 28, 1997 <br /> Page 2 <br /> • of Custom Motors Salvage Yard and west of a single family home which is <br /> located on a similar sized parcel. <br /> Roads <br /> The subdivision will be accessed by two new roads off the Highway 10 service <br /> road. The plat also provides for street extensions into the properties on <br /> either side of the plat. The service road along Highway 10 will eventually <br /> need to be upgraded to an urban standard. Staff is recommending the <br /> developers be responsible for upgrading that segment of frontage road along <br /> the front of their property. They may elect to improve the street at the same <br /> time they install the new streets in the plat, or pay the City an amount equal <br /> to having that street reconstructed at a later date along with a larger project. <br /> The service road is currently under the County's jurisdiction, however, the <br /> City has been maintaining this road for several years and is in the process of <br /> having it turned back to the City. The streets extending to the adjacent <br /> properties will be constructed along with this project to avoid any future <br /> surprises for residents. <br /> Existing Structures on Site <br /> The property currently has a single family home, garage and a few accessory <br /> • buildings. These structures will be removed to make way for the proposed <br /> development. All septic and wells must be appropriately abandoned and <br /> capped prior to beginning construction on site. <br /> Trees <br /> The property does have existing mature pine trees within the south quarter <br /> of the property primarily around the existing residence. There are also <br /> existing trees along the east and west sides of the property that, for the most <br /> part, fall on the adjacent properties. According to the grading plan the trees <br /> around the existing residence will need to be removed to make way for road <br /> construction and grading of the lots. <br /> Buffer to Custom Motors <br /> The developers are proposing to install a 15 foot landscaped buffer along the <br /> west property line to provide additional screening between this residential <br /> development and Custom Motors. Currently, there are existing trees along <br /> this property line; however, in order to establish an appropriate buffer, <br /> additional trees will need to supplement what is currently in place. The <br /> plans include providing groupings of Russian olive, evergreens and birch <br /> • clumps. <br /> \shrdoc\planning\pc\p97-16.doc <br />
