These setbacks are generallyr consistent with similar projects, but staff recommends keeping the coYner lot setback consistent with the front yTard setback. The change to the side yard setback maintains the same 15-foot minimum setback that existing single-family districts currently require. To avoid multiple similar homes being constructed near one another, staff recommends requiring a change to the fa�ade and color frequently throughout the development The applicant has described this as an internal monotony code and will be developed in partnership with the developer and memorialized in the PUD agreement. Engineering and Utilities The engineering plans continue to be reviewed for consistencyT with city- standards, and for concerns related to future public ownership of public improvements. Grading concerns will be discussed �vith the developer, grading for the trail in outlot E for example, and staff approval of all grading and development plans is included as a condition of approval. The subdivision is located within the urban service area and all parcels `vill be served by city sewer and wateY. In addition to seweY and wateY, stoYmwateY infrastructure includes a netwoYk of stormwateY basins and pipes to ensure the pYoject complies with state and local YequiYements. Upon acceptance of the public impYovements, staff will also requiYe the outlots with completed stoYmwateY features be deeded to the cityT. Landscaping The provided landscape plan includes a varienT of overstor�T, evergreen and ornamental trees planted throughout the development. Ordinance requires ttvo trees per residential lot, one of �vhich must be an overstor�T (shade) tree. The shade tree is required to be in the front yTard, and plans �vill need to be updated to reflect this requirement. Additionally, staff recommend improving the variation of the trees planted along the city- street to minimize future disease/insect concerns. Plans should show that no more than 4 of the same species will be planted along abutting lots or across the street Similar to the internal monoton�T code applied to home designs and facades.
