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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> Environmental Policy Board/January 25, 2021 <br /> Page 4 of 9 <br />
