Final Plat and Site Plan Review ~unhade Tree Cottages e 9, 2006 Page 3 of 4 mixture tabulations found in the publication "Guidelines for Restoring & Managing Native Wetland Vegetation". Buffer monumentation will also be required along the edge of the buffer areas at a spacing not to exceed 200 feet. Location and specifications for the monuments should be reviewed with City Staff. Silt fencing should be installed along the edge of the wetland buffer areas prior to construction. 10. Density Transitioning. A combination of landscaping and berming is proposed to fulfill the density transitioning requirements. The landscaping plan, dated May 18, 2006, appears to satisfy the transitioning requirements. 11. Landscaping. The revised landscaping plan, dated May 18, 2006 is generally acceptable. Please note though that planting depth should be such that the top most root, after plandng, is located at grade level (roots can get buried somewhat when prepared as balled and burlap stock, so some soil may need to be removed from the top of the soil ball, if this is the case). 12. Tree Preservation. There are roughly 600 trees throughout this site that will be preserved. Tree save fencing, placed at the dripIine of individual trees or groups of trees, must be in installed prior to any. construction. The tree save fencing must be shown on both the tree preservation plan and the grading plan. Due to the presence of oak trees on and adjacent to this site, coupled w/th the concern of oak wilt, there shall be no clearing of any oak trees between April I5 and July 15. A plan must be submitted outlining the actions that will be taken to protect those trees from the oak wilt fungus. 13. Ground Cover/Irrigation. City Code requires all areas otherwise not improved to be established with sod. Staff is assuming that the development will comply with this requirement. An irrigation system will need to be provided throughout the development where sodded and landscaped areas are established. The proposed irrigation system will need to be reviewed by the City Engineer. The irrigation system will need a dedicated service(s) that must be shown on the utility plan. 14. Sidewalks. City Code requires sidewalks on one side of all public streets. The City will require the installation ora sidewalk on the west side of Potassium St. from Quicksilver Court to the northern e~ent of the plat. This will provide for a loop connection to the proposed trail system. 15. Trail Development. As required by the preliminary plat review, trails are shown on the final plans, including along Nowthen Blvd. The proposed location of the trails will be reviewed by City staff and the developer as construction of the subdivision commences in order to ensure the optimal location of the trails when factoring in elevation and utility locations. The current trail development fees are $580 per unit, the fees for this development will be $24,360. The portion of the trail constructed outside the plat is can be used for credit against the trail development fees required for the plat. A looped trail is shown in the southwest comer of the site adjacent to Nowthen Boulevard. The trail shown exceeds the maximum slope in several locations. Additional detail on this trail must be supplied. 16. Park Dedication. Staff will be recommending to the Park and Recreation Commission that park dedication be satisfied through a cash payment. The 2006 fee schedule is $2400/ unit for Park dedication, which equates to $100,800 ($2400x 42). -261-
