Engineerinj comments regu.rding .m-ading and drainage and streets will be provided at the meeting in memo form. The proposed plat does not indicate a sidewalk on Helium Street, and this is generally acceptable to Staff due to the requirement to construct a bituminous trail along Nowthen Blvd. N.W. Building elevations have been submitted and are generally acceptable to Staff. It appears that the units will meet the R~2: Medium Density Residential architectural standards of natural stone and architectural elements. Color palettes have been requested and have not been submitted at th/s time. Although specifically required to vary color among buildings, it is Staffs opinion that an effort should be made to v~ry the appearance of each individual unit throu~ the use of varied hues and tones. A Landscape and Tree Preservation Plan have been submitted. Staff is requesting that an effort be made to satisf7 the density transit/offing requirements through the preservation of additional trees. Level 1 tramitioning will be required, with the provision of 6 trees for every 100 feet along the property boundary. Minor revisions to the Land~cape Plan have also been requested. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the preliminary plat and preliminary site plan, contingent upon receiving a rezoning to Planned Unit Development (PUD) and compliance with the City Staff Review Letter, dated May 24, 2006, and En~aeerkng comments dated May 30, 2006.
