As you will note in the City Staff review letter, at the time of preliminary plat approval there were concerns with soils and drainage in the area and the design of the septic systems. Since pre~minary plat approval, the developer has submitted a revised grading and drainage plan that meets with the City Engineer's approval and also provides for a sedimentation basin and an erosion consol plan. The developer has also submitted septic system design plans that have been reviewed andCpproved by the City Engineer and City Building Official. In a~cordance with the review letter, the developer a/so submitted a Landscape Plan that proposes to establish a berm planted with trees between the townhouses and adjacent single family homes. The revised Landscape Pan also provides for the planting of 12 additional trees (1 per unit) amongst the townhomes. The townhouses are proposed to be served by a private road. Although the City is not the enforcing agency, the City will be requesting to be provided with a copy of the covenants for fut~e reference and to ensure adequate attention is given to the details of how the private road will be maintained and the course of action in the event of septic system failures. It hgs been determined that park dedication will be satisfied by a cash payment. Req0mmendatlon: Cit[Staff is recommending final plat approval.
