Memo to the Planning Commission/P 00-18 <br /> December 26,2000 <br /> Page 3 <br /> • No phasing of the development has been indicated, however, the developer has <br /> stated that the first phase would include connecting Dodge Street to 196th Lane near <br /> Menards. This is being done to to encourage the new traffic to drive west rather <br /> than using Auburn Street. <br /> Lot Configuration <br /> All the proposed lots meet or exceed the 12,000 SF minimum lot area requirements <br /> of the Rle zoning district with the average lot size being roughly 16,812 SF. <br /> Wetland Conservation Act <br /> The developer has shown areas of fill and wetland mitigation, which will require a <br /> Technical Panel review and approval as required by the Wetland Conservation Act. <br /> As proposed, each of the four wetlands in the development will be partially filled to <br /> accommodate lots or grading. Lot 11, Block 5 and Lot 15, Block 2 require filling of <br /> wetlands. <br /> Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control <br /> (See the Attached Howard R. Green Memorandum). <br /> Utilities <br /> • (See the Attached Howard R. Green Memorandum). <br /> Tree Preservation <br /> Most of the existing woods will be removed with construction. All trees shown as <br /> preserved shall be protected prior to clearing or site grading by fencing the drip line <br /> of protected trees and the limit of grading with a snow fence to prevent unnecessary <br /> grading, compaction, or storage of debris or equipment. <br /> 50-Foot No Cut Zone <br /> A condition of the Hillside Crossings commercial development conditional use permit <br /> stipulated that a 50-foot buffer was to be maintained between the commercial area <br /> and future residential development. This buffer area is presently shown inclusive of <br /> the required back yard area. No additional buffer area has been provided behind <br /> Menards. <br /> Landscaping <br /> The Landscape and Tree Preservation Plan conforms to City requirements. No <br /> landscaping has been proposed for the park area, however staff has prepared a <br /> landscape plan for the park with conifers and shrub plantings along the back yards <br /> of existing residential lots. (See attached Exhibit C, Hillside Estates Park and Trail <br /> • Plan). <br /> \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\stevewen\pcmmo\p00-18.doc <br />
