Review File: 6080 Highway 10: Landscaping and Natural Resources Page 2 of 2 • The lowest floor of all structures in Blocks 2 & 3 must be at or above the RFPE. • Finished fill elevation shall not be lower than one (1) foot below the RFPE and must extend out at least fifteen (15) feet from each structure. • Elevation Certificates (as -built elevations) will be required for all new homes on Blocks 2 & 3 to confirm compliance with RFPE. This will be addressed in the Development Agreement. • If more than 1,000 cubic yards of fill are used within the floodplain for any reason other than elevating a structure to comply with the RFPE, then a Conditional Use Permit will be required. Plan shall note the total proposed fill for the project within the floodplain and shall indicate quantities used to elevate structures separately from any other use of fill. Sheet 6 (Detailes) • Add detail for tree planting. The City's Environmental Policy Board (EPB) also reviewed the Sketch Plan as it relates to landscaping, tree preservation, and natural resources at their February 25, 2019 meeting. The EPB reiterated the importance of compliance with the density transitioning standards along the western boundaries of Lot 1, Block 1 and Lot 1, Block 2. If landscaping is proposed to satisfy this requirement, it may result in the need to eliminate one or more lots and/or reconfigure the layout to provide the requisite width for plantings. Additionally, the EPB also made the following recommendations: • A landscape buffer should be added along the northern boundary of Block 1 (including the western boundary of Lot 5, Block 1) to provide some buffering between the existing industrial use(s) and the new lots. • Explore the potential of relocating the stormwater ponding outside of the Flood Fringe boundary.
