Case File: CU OS-U7 Page 4 E&0 Tool )ay Caswell The cul-de-sac at the north end of Naples Street will be removed from the property. Naples Street will dead end at the property line and will have no access to the subject property. No new cul-de-sac will be rebuilt. Grading/Drainage Grading, Drainage and Utilities are addressed in the City Engineer's memo dated Apri13, 2008. Landscaping Generally, the largest concerns in developments adjacent to residential include concerns with noise, light, and traffic. As noted above, no access is provided to the residential development. To alleviate light and noise, staff is recommending a a low berm and substantial landscaping. A low berm would provide year round interest, but will not be substantial enough to provide adequate screening. Significant landscaping: a mix of coniferous, ornamental, and overstory (shade) will help buffer the industrial component of the building from the established residential properties to the south. The required number of proposed trees meets the ordinance requirements. To help buffer the proposed building for the adjacent residential neighborhood, staff recommends that a 3'-4' undulating berm along the southern property line shall be created with a minimum 3:1 slope. The berm should have a majority of coniferous trees but provide a mix of ornamental also. This may require reordering of the proposed trees. The berm shall be designed so it does not create any potential flooding on the adjacent properties. If there is a potential for flooding, it may be appropriate to provide breaks in the berm. The Bern design recommendation from staff is consistent with the recommendation to the property to the west, and is being incorporated into the plans.
