Review Letter: iSunfish Estates December 28, 11995 Page 2 o 2 ~ e 10. 1I. Str~ts:~ It appears that thc cul-de-sac exceeds thc 600 foot maximum established by City Code b~ approximately 200 feet. This situation could be avoided by relocating thc access road to the south by this distance. Care should also be taken to ensure that the extension of thc lak~, frontage roadway north of the plat allow future lake frontage lots to meet thc shorclan~l setback requirement, as it appears the shoreland continues to drift eastward north of the p,lgt boundaries. ~ The submittal of a Grading and Drainage Plan is required at the time of Prelimid. ary Plat approval. Any exporting of soils from thc site will require a conditional use peraiit. Tre~ Pre~servgtion and Planting Plan: At thc time ofpreljmlnary plat approval, thc submittal must inotludc an addendum tb the Grading Plan that identifies existing trees, trees to be preser%'al during construction, along with the method of preservation, and the planting of one 2 inc *,h diameter tree in the front yard of each lot. ~: It is Staff's understanding that the site improvements will be installed as a private project, rith no financial participation on thc part of thc City. It will be necessary for the fee title ~wner of the property to petition the City for thc extension of thc trunk lines. Park Dea icafion: Thc Park and Recreation Commission reviewed a draft sketch plan at their De :ember meeting. Staff was directed to identify probable lake access points on Sunfish ,ake with the developer and show where users of thc sidewalk might view thc lake from th{ road right-of-way. In addition, thc Commission recommended that thc City and the devc loper work together to salvage as many trees as possible for the Sunwood Drive boulevat ~1. The December 12 sketch plan will be forwarded to the Commission in January. Pedestfi~ Transnortafion Routes: It is Staff's understanding that the issue of pedestrian transpor[afional-trails was not discussed at thc December meeting of thc Park and Recreafi~ m Commi.~sion, but will be reviewed at their regular meeting in January of 1996.
