She wrote "Especially making sure that the current residents are safe (from flood) ... I surely did not realize that when the proposal was approved that each home was to be put on it's own little hill ..." The flood issue comes from a potential spill out of an irrigation ditch to the west of the site. The water used to flow east across the site and into the back yards of Ms. Cummings' home and others. With this development the water will now flow in a ditch on the north side of the Bennett Road Bungalows and in Bennett Road itself instead of into their back yards. When the last house on the west end of the development is built, the site grading will block the spill from the ditch from entering the ditch and all of the flow will be contained in Bennett Road. The entire site drainage system is installed in accordance with the approved plans and was certified by Northern Engineering on December 27, 2002. The individual structures are also graded in accordance with the approved plans. Each lot that has a Certificate of Occupancy has provided us with a grading certification. The builder did request that from lot 7 on to the west end of the development, that the homes be lowered one foot from the approved plan and has demonstrated that the grading will work. We have approved his request. Each home being elevated "on a little hill" is what is shown on the approved plan. The reason it appears that way is the back of the lots needed to be lowered to contain the runoff from the lots and convey it east to the detention pond. In addition the fronts of the homes needed to be high enough to contain the irrigation spill in Bennett Road. As with all in -fill sites, space is limited so grading is more difficult. We were also contacted about the fences crossing the swale in the back yards. The fences that have been installed are raised above the concrete pan the appropriate height to allow the 100 year runoff from the back yards to pass safely under the fences. I hope this addresses the concerns of the flood and grading. Let me know if I can be of further assistance. CC: Basil Hamdan; Jay Barber; Steve Olt; Wes Lamarque Steve Olt - Fwd: Bennett Road BungaF From: Steve Olt To: Gregory Byrne Date: 5/12/04 2:37PM Subject: Fwd: Bennett Road Bungalows The Bennett Road Bungalows project is developing in accordance with the approved Site, Landscape, utility, grading & drainage plans and subdivision plat. There had been references to the buildings being, generally, 1 story and 1-1/2 story structures (up to 28' in height) during the neighborhood meeting and development review process. The Administrative Hearing Officer found, in the Findings, Conclusions, and Decision document (in the Building and Project Compatibility section) that the project is compatible with the surrounding neighborhoods in terms of lot size and building heights. The hearing officer heard testimony from neighboring property owners who challenged the compatibility of the proposed single family units, comparing the 1 story homes found in the adjacent subdivision (Western Heights) to the proposed 1-1/2 story units of the Bennett Road Bungalows. The hearing officer found that the 1-1/2 story single family units do not exceed the height limit prescribed in Section 4.3(D)(2)(e) of the Land Use Code (being 28'). The evidence also revealed that in addition to the adjacent ranch -style homes, other adjacent neighborhoods include one and two story single family residences. As pointed out by the City Planner, compatibility does not require identical design and architectural features. The Bennett Road Bungalows Site Plan that was reviewed and approved by the Administrative Hearing Officer (and since recorded) did commit to and set forth a maximum building height of 28'. The Zoning Department has ensured, during building permit application reviews, that no structure has exceeded the maximum height of 28'. Currently, there are structures 1, 1-1/2, and 2 stories in height that are constructed. The site grading and individual lot elevations are in accordance with the approved grading and drainage plan. The lots have been elevated to provide proper drainage for storm water from the west through and around the Bennett Road Bungalows development via a drainage channel along the north side of the development (in a 7' wide drainage easement)and in Bennett Road to the south. This system improves the storm drainage on the lots to the north, in the Western Heights Subdivision. Please see the attached response from the Stormwater Utility. From the utility access and provision standpoint, the Bennett Road Bungalows subdivision plat dedicates an 8' wide utility easement along the north property line of the development. The recorded Western Heights subdivision plat dedicates a 1 Q' wide utility easement along the rear property line of the lots on the south side of Springfield Drive. Utility providers have an absolute right to access their utilities via the dedicated utility easements. CC: Cameron Gloss; Glen Schlueter; Patty Storm
