Contour information is required 100 feet beyond the boundaries of the plat. Easements. Although the standard 10 foot drainage and utility easements (5 feet on common property lines) are not reflected on the preliminary plat drawing, the legend addresses them and it is assumed that they will be shown on the final plat. The wetlands have been appropriately delineated and should be encumbered with drainage and utility easements on the final plat. All utilities are to be protected with a minimum 20 foot drainage and utility easement. This provision is subject to change depending on the depth of the utilities. A 40 foot easement will be required over the entire length of the trunk facility as well as an access easement (20 feet) between Lots 5 and 6. Utilities.

A review of the revised Preliminary Utility Plan has been made with the following comments: · The sizes of the storm sewers must be provided. Along with calculations for the 10 year and 100 year storm event, please submit a storm sewer structure schedule. Density Transitioning. The proposed plat .'is-considered low .density residential and is bounded on the east by Sunflower Ridge, a medium density townhome development; no density transitioning would be required on the east boundary. The property to the north is also being developed with low density single family urban lots and no transitioning would be required on that boundary. The property to the west consists of 3 rural lots that are also in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area and eligible for redevelopment with single family homes at urban densities. The City has been provided with a "West Boundary Tree Inventory." that identifies the quantity, size and species of trees located on the west boundary of the plat. The existing vegetation on the west boundary consists of 132 trees ranging in size from 4' to 35', and 90 shrubs of various sizes. At the time this tree inventory was presented to the Planning Commission and City Council for sketch plan reviews, the Developer committed to preserving all of these trees to satisfy any density transitioning that may be required. As part of the preliminary plat submittal, the City was provided with a Preliminary Tree Plan. The plan dated October 2, 2002, identified the addition of 21 6-foot evergreens along the west property boundary, but it did not identify all of the existing trees on the west boundary that were proposed to be preserved. The revised Tree Plan dated November 5, 2002, identifies the addition of 6 6-foot evergreens on the west boundary in an area less populated with existing -165-
