As has been noted already, the development site is located within the 2020 MUSA boundary and thus, is required to be serviced with municipal sewer and water. However, the requested Zoning Amendment to designate the site as a PUD is a legal zoning tool that allows for the deviation to utilize private utilities (if approved by City Council). Please note that as configured, the future home owners will have limited use of the rear yards due to the locations of the primary and alternate septic systems. It would be helpful if that message could be conveyed to the buyers of these parcels. Wetlands and Floodplains The project site does not appear to contain any floodplain areas or wetlands. Grading and Drainage The project will be subject to the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization standards for managing stormwater, including both quantity and quality. Please see additional comments within the Engineering Review Memo regarding the grading and drainage plans. Streets and Access The new lots will be accessed via Bowers Drive. The Final Plat does include a sixty (60) foot wide outlot that can provide future access to the land north of the development site. This will eventually create a second point of access to Bowers Drive, which will assist with public safety response in the future. Will the current property owner retain ownership of Outlot C? Please provide clarification of who ultimately will own Outlot C. Residents along Bowers Drive raised concerns about construction traffic and possible damage to the existing street at a public workshop in 2016. As has been discussed, a Financial Surety will be required to protect against potential damage to Bowers Drive as a result of construction activity. This will be specified within the Development Agreement. Tree Preservation and Landscaping A Tree Preservation and Landscape Plan has been submitted. All significant trees, defined as oaks and evergreens with a Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) of four (4) inches and all other deciduous trees with a DBH of eight (8) inches or greater, have been identified.
