-28- <br /> <br />Community Development Director Trudgeon stated there are several options for density <br />transitioning. He indicated you can use natural features, matching densities, or other things as <br />agreed between the City and the developer. He stated that in the past they have used landscaping <br />transitioning, such as trees and berms. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Dalnes stated that there are three lots with no existing trees, which are the <br />northernmost lots. She indicated that 75 trees will be planted; most in that area. She stated that <br />in other parts, tree preservation will take care of the density transitioning requirements because <br />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 developer <br />dedicated that land as a future park, and also requested a five-foot boulevard to 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 designated <br />yet. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cleveland stated that they talked about the road maybe being extended to 177'h, <br />and asked if the land has been surveyed. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Trudgeon indicated that years ago that owner subdivided one <br />lot, and Staff felt that right-of-way should have been dedicated at that time. He stated that the <br />ownef'did not feel he should need t6 do that just to subdivide one lot. He indicated that an <br />agreement was made to dedicate the right-of-way before any future development was done. He <br />stated there is no future development indicated, so the City would need to purchase the right-of- <br />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 required. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Tmdgeon indicated it is, noting it has nothing to do with the <br />cluster ordinance. <br /> <br />Commissioner Van Scoy asked how long the cul-de-sac would be. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Dalnes stated it is 1300 feet. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/March 2, 2006 <br /> Page 14 of 31 <br /> <br /> <br />
