RE: Martinez P.U.D.
Final Landscape Plan Revisions
Dear Steve:
I br/wo,'r" Plamimp
Based upon your letter of August 13, 1997 to Mr. Mikal Torgerson and the referral comments we
have received, we have made the following revisions to the Final Landscape Plan:
1. 3b- Deciduous trees have been added for screening between single family lot 10 and
the co -housing parking lot to the west.
2. 3c- The private drive south of the single family lots and adjacent to the railroad
tracks has been moved north so that there is a minimum of 5' from the property line
to the edge of curb. Trees have been added in this area to help buffer the tracks.
3. 8- We have met onsite with Janet Miesel of the City's Park Planning Department to
discuss existing trees, drainage and other concerns. We have agreed to meet again
prior to construction with her and the Parks Maintenance Department to locate
existing irrigation heads and lines, utilities, fencing, drainage improvements, etc. and
coordinate any necessary items at that time.
4. 9a- We have met onsite with Tim Buchanan to review all existing trees; tree
protection and transplanting trees. At this meeting we discussed and agreed to allow
the City the first right to relocate any of the existing trees which need to be removed
on the site to locations with Martinez Park or where the City sees a need. If the City
elects not to move some or all of the trees, the Developer will be allowed to relocate
the trees onsite at his cost or remove the trees.
5. 9b- We have added as many canopy shade trees to Mason Court (Fat Tire Lane) as
possible. Do to the Utility Departments requirement of a minimum separation of 10'
from any utility line, we are prevented from placing the trees on 40' centers as
required in the new street standards. We have also replaced the shrubs in the
parkways with turf.
6. 10- Comments from Sherri Wamhoff of Engineering have been addressed as follows
(related to the red -lined landscape plan):
a. The private road connection with Sherwood Street has been revised to show
a driveway cut to match the utility plans. This has also been done at the east
end of the private drive as it connects to the cul-de-sac.
b. The utility plans have been revised to show the walk through the emergency
access easement matching the site and landscape plans.
c. The utility plans have been revised to show this walk as a 5' wide walk.
