Mr. Steve Ach <br />May 18, 1995 <br />• Page Three <br />adjacent to the 195th Drive right-of--way, again at the access off of County <br />Road 77, are intended for landscaping the entrance to the plat. This is a <br />reasonable approach since, if the right-of--way were just enlarged in this area <br />and the landscaping placed in a wider right-of--way, the City would actually <br />have the authority in the future to remove this landscaping. By placing it <br />in an outlot, it will become the responsibility of the Homeowners <br />Association. Outlot E, located in the central part of the plat, is intended as <br />a pazcel of property which in the future could be connected to the property <br />immediately to the south when that azea is developed. <br />An issue that needs o be dealt with regazding this plat is the status of 193rd <br />Avenue at the south plat line. Currently, the plat shows half of the right-of- <br />way for 193rd Avenue being platted. This causes lots in this azea to become <br />double frontage. It would seem that, when this plat and the remaining <br />undeveloped property immediately west of County Road 77 aze fully <br />developed, there will be no aced for 193rd Avenue from Upland to County <br />Road 77. We would recommend that the need for 193rd Avenue be fully <br />explored and if so determined, be planned to be phased out in the future <br />through vacation. <br />^ Consideration should be given to platting an additional access to the railroad <br />bed pathway somewhere neaz the south end of the plat. This area is <br />immediately adjacent to the Meadowvale Elementary School and may be a <br />corridor used by pedestrians wanting to access either the pathway itself or <br />the school property. Currently, there is one access provided for off of Rush <br />Drive north of 195th Court. <br />There are at least two locations where wetlands aze proposed to be filled in <br />order to create buildable lots. These two locations would be on Lots 3 and <br />4, Block 2, Phase I, and Lot 40, Block 4, Phase 2 of the development. <br />These two specific wetlands and any other that are proposed to be impacted <br />by this development will need to go through the normal regulatory process. <br />B. Preliminary Grading and Drainage Plan <br />The primary issue in reviewing the grading of this development is the status <br />of the trees on the site. Since you have personally walked the site and aze <br />well aware of the condition of the various stands of vegetation, I will <br />assume that your report will deal specifically with this issue. We would <br />note, however, that the Grading Plan does a good job of matching the rear <br /> <br />230/258-1802.may <br />
