He stated that the purpose of the case is to review <br />a request from Lennar for a Preliminary Plat application for Northfork Meadows. The subject <br />property is located east of Puma/Okapi Street and south of Alpine Drive and is approximately 33 <br />acres. The subject property has a split zoning with R-1 Residential (MUSA Detached Single <br />Family Homes) (80-foot-wide lots) along the eastern and southern boundary and the remainder of <br />the property is zoned R-1 Residential (MUSA Detached Villas) (65-foot-wide lots). He noted <br />that the Planning Commission recommended that the plans be amended to meet the minimum <br />planting requirements for density transitioning. <br /> <br />Board Member Covart asked if the same number of trees would go in the 45-foot area compared <br />to the 35-foot area. <br /> <br />Board Member Moore stated that she lives across from this parcel and commented that there is a <br />grove of oak trees that provides habitat for animals and therefore would recommend that the largest <br />amount of vegetation be added back into the development, even perhaps above what is required <br />by Code. <br /> <br />City Planner Anderson commented that the landscape plan as proposed adds in more than is <br />required by Code. He stated that overall, there is more planting than what the Code would require <br />with the exception of this density transition corridor. <br /> <br />Board Member Little noted that he is a former landscaper and asked if there is a requirement for <br />the type of soil used for the berm. <br /> <br />City Planner Anderson replied that the language states that it must be good, clean fill but does not <br />get more specific than that. <br /> <br /> <br />Environmental Policy Board / January 25, 2021 <br />Page 4 of 9 <br /> <br />
