Item No. 2 - Continued
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The area involved consists of gentle slopes, and is heavily
forested with an abundance of large pines and oaks. The
property is bounded immediately on the west by a single
family residence within the Pleasant Valley Subdivision; on
the south by a City Water Treatment Plant; and on the east
by I-430, a 50' raw water easement is clearly visible
toward the western portion of the site,
B. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
This is a proposal to develop a tract of 11.27 acres into
48 lots for single family use. A total of 1,690 linear
feet of new street will be constructed. No variances are
requested.
C. ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS
None.
D. ANALYSIS
In regards to this item, staff is not, satisfied with the
design of several lots that abut the easement near the
center of the property, and lots toward the interstate on
the north. Several of these should be combined to provide
for larger and more buildable lots. We are suggesting that
the cul-de-sac be redesigned so that it is pulled back
120'-140' south, with bulb adjacent to the west property
line, leaving approximately 200'-250' of common open space
to be maintained by the Property Owners' Association.
