-188- Preliminary Plat Highlands at River Park 4~' Addition November 1, 2002, Revised November 22, 2002 Page 3 of 5 10. Utilities. These comments are based on the Preliminary Utilities Plan dated August 5, 2002. Staff has the following comments: · As mentioned in the grading and drainage plan review, an outlet needs to be provided to the low area west of Lot 6 by providing additional storm sewer pipe. This pipe shall be installed at minimum grade to provide for service to the west. · Adjust the catch basin locations at intersection of Yakima Street to avoid placing a catch basin over the existing sanitary sewer main. Tree Preservation. The Tree Preservation Plan dated August 5, 2002 identifies 193 trees on the development site. The tree preservation'plan shows 30 trees being removed as part of the installation o£ improvement, of the site. Work on-site during the construction of these 'improvements shall adhere to the Tree Preservation Plan dated August 5, 2002. Additional language will be included in the development agreement for the subdivision that will require the use of best management practices and tree-save fences. From review of the location of the remaining trees on the development property, it appears that additional trees may need to be taken down as part the construction of the house. As part of the building permit application, the builder shall include the location of existing trees on the survey submitted as part of the building permit and identify which trees shall remain and wkich ones will be removed. City staff will then review the location of the proposed housepad to ensure that the maximum amount of quality trees are preserved on the lot before allowing construction to begin. Landscaping. City Ordinances require two overstory trees per single-family lot. The type of trees shall conform to the City plantings schedule (attached) and be comprised of at least one coniferous tree and one deciduous trees. The City can give credit for each' significant tree retained against the new planting requirement. Under your proposed plat, the development will need to have at least 10 new deciduous and 10 new coniferous trees. The submitted landscaping plan shows 14 deciduous trees (Patmore Ash). In reviewing the tree preservation plan, staff will give credit for two trees that will be retained; a red pine (ID#5580) on Lot 1, and the black walnut (ID#5650) on Lot 4. Therefore, the landscaping plan shall be revised as follows: · Each lot shall contain one new deciduous and one coniferous trees, with the exception of Lots 1 and 4. · Lot 1 will receive credit for the red pine tree retained and shall have one new deciduous tree planted. · Lot 4 will receive credit for the black walnut retained and shall have one new coniferous tree planted.
