The pavement width on the private street is proposed at 26 feet; on-street parking will be restricted to one side to maintain adequate emergency vehicular access. ~'No parking" signs should be installed along the private street to ensure continuous free access by emergency vehicles. Grading and Drainage; The grading and drainage plan has been presented and approved as a part of the preliminary plat approval of the subdivision. Landscapin. g and Screening: Typically, single family residential neighborhoods are required to put in 1 tree for every dwelling unit. Both the detached townhomes and the twinhomes in the northerly portion of the plat indicate 1 tree per dwelling unit. The quadhomes show 1 tree for every two units. If we applied the same requirement to the quadhomes as we do the rest of the plat, the plan would be deficient 18 trees. Staff is requesting that the landscape plan be modified to incorporate 18 additional deciduous trees distributed throughout the common areas of the entire plat. General comments are: the Iandsgape plan should be modified to identify areas to be irrigated, an additional species or two for the trees should be considered for long term disease resistance and variety, spirea and barberry shrubs are overused, the second item in the shrub key is Black Hills Spruce and this is acknowledged as a simple error to be corrected. Off Street Parkin.e, Design: All off-street parking nodes will be paved and finished with B- 612 concrete curbing. The individual driveway un/ts will also be paved. Utilities and Water Usage: The development will be served by municipal water and sanitary sewer. Off Street Parking, Number: For purposes of the quadhome area, each quadhome structure will have 3 double garages and 1 single garage. Off-street parking can also be accommodated in the paved driveway and there are 9 additional off-street parking spaces within 2 parking nodes provided on Block 2. Architectural Standards: The building plans indicate that the structures will be sided with maintenance free siding and asphalt shingles. Minimum Floor Area: The Multiple Residential (MR) District regulations in City Code were used to critique the proposed trait sizes. The ~MR District establishes a minimum total floor area of 800 square feet for multiple level units. All of the quadhomes are bi-level and have a minimum of 888 finished square feet of living space. -257-
