The ordinance requires 2 trees per lot. The applicant <br />is proposing 93 lots; the landscaping requirement for 93 lots is 186 trees. The required trees <br />are proposed to be planted along the streets and as screening around the perimeter of Outlot <br />C. The applicant is also requesting a density bonus for landscaping.

The applicant is <br />proposing additional landscaping on Outlot B in order to qualify for the density bonus. <br /> <br />Park Dedication <br /> <br />The Park and Recreation Commission recommended that Outlot E and a small cash <br />contribution be accepted to fulfill the park dedication requirements. <br /> <br />Well and Septic <br /> <br />The project will have a community septic system and individual wells. The septic system will <br />be located on Outlot C. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Meeting <br /> <br />At the Planning Commission meeting held on February 26th two adjacent property owners <br />spoke at the public hearing. A resident of Windsor Park, whose lot abuts the proposed <br />development, had a concern about the proposed private trail along the south boundary of <br />the project. He wanted to be sure that the trail would not be too close to his rear property <br />line. The property owner to the east of the project expressed concern about a possible public <br />trail that would go through Outlot C. He also wanted to make sure that the trail would not <br />be too close to his side property line. <br /> <br /> <br />
