Community Development Director Trudgeon stated there are several options for density <br />transitioning. He indicated you can use natural features, matching densities, or other <br />things as agreed between the City and the developer. He stated that in the past they have <br />used landscaping transitioning, such as trees and berms. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Dalnes stated that there are three lots with no existing trees, which are <br />the northernmost lots. She indicated that 75 trees will be planted; most in that area. She <br />stated that in other parts, tree preservation will take care of the density transitioning <br />requirements because the trees are dense, and are showing as being preserved. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shepherd noted that on the west side of the plan it says future park. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Dalnes indicated that at the request of the Parks Commission, the <br />developer dedicated that land as a future park, and also requested a five-foot boulevard to <br />access that area. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shepherd asked if it is the kind of park with a playground. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Trudgeon stated that the type of park has not been <br />designated yet. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cleveland stated that they talked about the road maybe being extended to <br />177th, and asked if the land has been surveyed. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Trudgeon indicated that years ago that owner <br />subdivided one lot, and Staff felt that right-of-way should have been dedicated at that <br />time. He stated that the owner did not feel he should need to do that just to subdivide one <br />lot. He indicated that an agreement was made to dedicate the right-of-way before any <br />future development was done. He stated there is no future development indicated, so the <br />City would need to purchase the right-of-way. <br /> <br />Commissioner Van Scoy asked what the lot sizes would be in this development. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Dalnes stated they are one-half to three-quarters acres, and they vary <br />throughout, but all are within the ordinance requirements. <br /> <br />Ms. Wald stated that the smallest is 12,000 square feet. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer asked if it is just because it is a cul-de-sac that a sidewalk is not <br />required. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Trudgeon indicated it is, noting it has nothing to do <br />with the cluster ordinance. <br /> <br />Commissioner Van Scoy asked how long the cul-de-sac would be. <br /> <br />-295- <br /> <br /> <br />
