<br />P Plat, CherryHil1 Bluffs 2nd <br />March 19, 1993 <br /> <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />accomplished by temporary easements that are eliminated <br />automatically when this street becomes a thru street. <br /> <br />Eyebrow Mr. Maurer will be at Tuesday night's <br />meeting. He should be questioned further regarding the <br />safety aspects of the eyebrow in the plat adjacent to Lots <br />16, 17, and 18, Block 3. <br /> <br />PARK DEDICATION <br /> <br />No trails or neighborhood parks are identified in the City's <br />Comprehensive Park Plan within the boundaries of the plat and <br />it is likely Park Dedication Fees will be charged at a rate of <br />$400 per lot. The Park and Recreation Commission will be <br />reviewing park issues related to this plat at their April 7, <br />1993, meeting. <br /> <br />CITY PROPERTY <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The southern five acres of this plat are currently owned by the <br />City. The developer is proposing to buy this land and sell the <br />City property he owns for a water tower site. The Council <br />asked the Planning Commission to comment on whether or not the <br />selling of the City's property fits within the City's <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />STEEP SLOPES <br /> <br />As a policy, the City requests that slopes of 30% or more are <br />protected by easements to avoid removal of vegetation or <br />construction of structures. The following areas have slopes of <br />30% or more: Outlot D, part of Lot 2, Block 1, and an area <br />between Lots 4 and 5, Block 2. Staff feels that the area <br />around Outlot D could be regraded and is not worried about <br />those slopes being altered. The area between Lots 4 and 5, <br />Block 2 are treed and lead into the pond on Outlot B. Staff is <br />concerned that if these slopes are altered, it will lead to <br />erosion into the adjacent pond. Staff would recommend that the <br />entire hillside in Block 2 to the east of the pond in Outlot B <br />be protected with easements. This can be done without <br />affecting the buildable areas of these lots. Steep slopes on <br />Lot 2, Block 1, and the trees on that lot, will need to be <br />altered when the site is graded to make that lot buildable. <br />Staff feels this is permissible. However, Lot 2 is marginal <br />and a special house design may be required. <br /> <br />TREES <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The northern portion of this plat is heavily wooded with oaks. <br />Staff recommends that trees removed for road and house <br />construction have their stumps either immediately removed or <br />the roots severed from adjacent trees. Also, staff recommends <br />that care is taken during the removal of trees, not to damage <br />adjacent trees. Lastly, trees that are to be left after <br />
