As proposed, Lot 5, Block 2 appears to comply with the 'matching of densities' option. Furthermore, the northern boundary of Lot 3, Block 1 and Lot 4, Block 2 abut an undeveloped, heavily wooded parcel and transitioning would not appear necessary. However, density transitioning is required along the rear lot line of Lots 1-3, Block 1. As proposed, these lots do not match the adjacent neighborhood density. The updated exhibit received does show that twenty (20) trees between Lots 2-3 will be preserved. However, additional landscaping is still necessary to achieve the transitioning requirements. There is 300 linear feet of property abutting the Rural Developing parcel to the east; therefore, an additional twenty-four (24) overstory trees, twenty-four (24) evergreen trees, and twenty-four (24) understory trees must be added to the Landscape Plan along the rear boundaries of Lots 1-3, Block 1. These numbers can be reduced though with the preservation of existing trees. Note that these plantings (and existing trees) will need to be encumbered with a Landscape Easement or be within land held in common ownership to avoid their future removal. Sheet G1: • Show the trees being removed on this plan sheet to reflect preserved for density transitioning requirements. • Revise thc notc regarding c\n horist developing c plan to protect existing oak trccs from oak wilt to statoth/at tho plan bo �..krni od to thc City for review. • Extend proposed concrete sidewalk to the northern boundary of Plat. • Revise thc grading and thc house pad size of Lot; 1 3 91ock 1 to match thc density transitioning exhibit.
