He stated that the City has received an <br />application for Preliminary Plat review for Hampton Homes, a 26 unit attached townhome project <br />located over three existing parcels (14600, 14544, and 14520 Nowthen Blvd NW) and an outlot. <br />The subject property is located in the R-2 Residential District and allows for a density between <br />four and seven units per acre. <br />Board Member Moore asked for additional details on the language related to invasive species <br />removal. <br />City Planner Anderson stated that there was a lot of public comment about preserving as many <br />trees as possible, especially along the western border, and therefore the developer is attempting to <br />save as many trees as possible. He stated that because that boarder strip of trees is outside the <br />development area, there would be no reason to require the developer to go into the wooded area to <br />remove invasive species. <br />Councilmember Menth asked if the request meets all the requirements. <br />City Planner Anderson stated that related to density transitioning on the northern boundary, staff <br />believes that at least two evergreen trees should be added in addition to the evergreen shrubbery. <br />Motion by Board Member Covart and seconded by Board Member Little to recommend approval <br />of the Landscape and Tree Inventory and Preservation Plans contingent upon compliance with <br />Staff's review letter. <br />A roll call vote was performed by the City Planner: <br />Board Member Little aye <br />Board Member Covart aye <br />Board Member Hiatt aye <br />Board Member Moore aye <br />Chairperson Valentine aye <br />Environmental Policy Board / May 20, 2020 <br />Page 3 of 7 <br />
