However, there is a caveat that would allow the houses to meet the existing setback <br />pattern of existing homes. <br />Both house pads should be shifted north to match the existing setback pattern of the homes to <br />the east. Additionally, this will create more separation from the 100 foot setback boundary from <br />the OHW, potentially allowing more space for future homeowner improvements, such as a <br />deck/patio, swimming pool, etc. This also likely reduces the number of trees needing to be <br />removed on Lot 1 (at least for initial construction of the home). <br />--------- 0 Replies --------- <br />7 - Driveways <br />Created by: Chris Anderson <br />On: 01/22/2026 11:33 AM <br />The driveways should have some curvature to them to 'snake' through the trees, minimizing to <br />the extent possible how many need to be removed. Plus, this will create more privacy as those <br />homes would be better screened from Riverdale Drive. <br />--------- 0 Replies --------- <br />8 - Tree Inventory <br />Created by: Chris Anderson <br />On: 01/22/2026 11:34 AM <br />A tree inventory and preservation plan is required with the final plat application. While this could <br />cover the entire site, it could also just focus on Lots 1 & 2 and exclude the outlot for now. All <br />oaks and evergreens that are 4" or greater in diameter, and all other trees that are 8" or greater <br />in diameter shall be included in the inventory and it should include species (not just oak, pine, <br />elm, but red oak, bur oak, red pine, white pine, American elm, Siberian elm, etc.), diameter, <br />status (saved or removed), and brief description of why it's being removed (general grading, <br />stormwater basin, etc.). Any deviation from the standard tree inventory process would require a <br />variance. <br />--------- 0 Replies ---------
