A significant amount of discussion occurred at the Public Hearing about the access to Nowthen Boulevard. The <br />City acknowledges that traffic levels will increase on existing roads with the new development. Based on review of <br />previous traffic studies and informal, cursory review of forecasted traffic levels, it appears that traffic levels will <br />remain within acceptable traffic engineering standards. <br />Landscaping and reforestation has been reviewed by staff and determined to meet the intent of the ordinance A <br />combination of trees are proposed on each residential lot satisfying the two (2) trees per lot requirement. Additional <br />plantings are proposed in areas to buffer the proposed development from adjacent developments and from Nowthen <br />Boulevard, which will occur on the next Phase II. <br />The development agreement will require that all proposed homes meet all the architectural requirements of the <br />underlying R-1 Residential (MUSA) District. No enhanced architectural standards are being required by the City. <br />The City Council approved the Preliminary Plat on May 12. The Developer is now eligible to request Final Plat <br />approval. <br />Alternatives <br />Alternative #1: Adopt Resolution #15-05-126 granting Final Plat approval. <br />Alternative #2: Adopt Resolution #15-05-126 granting a revised Final Plat approval. The Final Plat presented is <br />consistent with Preliminary Plat approval, so Staff does not recommend this alternative. <br />Alternative #3: Deny the request for Final Plat approval based on findings of fact. The Final Plat presented is <br />consistent with Preliminary Plat approval, so Staff does not recommend this alternative. <br />Funding Source: <br />All costs associated with processing this Application are the responsibility of the Applicant. <br />Recommendation: <br />Based on Preliminary Plat approval, Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat for Phase I. <br />Action: <br />Motion to recommend that the City Council adopt Resolution #15-05-126 granting Final Plat Approval of Harvest <br />Estates. <br />Attachments <br />Site Location Map <br />Preliminary Plat <br />Final Plat Sheets <br />Staff Review File <br />City Council Work Session Minutes dated February 24, 2015 <br />DRAFT Environmental Policy Board Minutes dated March 30, 2015 <br />DRAFT Planning Commission Minutes dated April9, 2015 <br />DRAFT City Council Minutes dated May 12, 2015 <br />Summary of Questions <br />Development Agreement <br />Final Plat Resolution <br />Form Review <br />
