Site Plan Review: Alpine Meadows Page 3 of 4 April 26, 2002 Revised May 9, 2002 10. Waste Storage: City Code requires all waste storage areas to be located in the rear or side yard and they must be screened. The site plan indicates that the townhouse project will not contain any outside waste storage areas. I1. Screening: The R3-U Zoning District calls for a fifteen-foot landscaped buffer when a development 'is adjacent to R1 and R2 districts. The landscaping plans shows that there is landscaping proposed to be located in the buffer area.. The plan has been modified to show additional screening at the southern end of the property to block headlights from shining on the structures of the adjacent southern parcels.- Staff understands that there has been discussion between yourself and the southern neighbor about installing a fence. Staff would find this solution acceptable. Based on concerns raised at a previous Planning Commission, you have revised the landscaping plan to show additional landscape screening along the southwestern property line. Staff will be setting up a meeting with these residents to determine if they prefer landscaping or a fence or both. 12.
