Dear Mr. Thomas,
=OW
December 22, 1999
During the meeting with you, Phil Brown, myself, Mark McCallum, and Kathleen
Reavis, there were several issues that I said I would follow up on regarding the "Dry
Creek" apartments site.
1. Phil wanted to know what the back yard setback would be for the buildings abutting
the ditch if there was a trail along the ditch, and also what the setback would be if
there wasn't a trail along the ditch. The section of the code which regulates that
setback is 3.5.2(D)(3), which specifies that "rear yard setbacks in residential areas
shall be a minimum of fifteen feet from the rear property line." In this case the rear
property line would be considered the edge of the access easement. The Parks
Planning Department would want a 30 to 50 foot wide easement along the ditch, if the
trail goes there. I'm not sure how wide the current easement is for the ditch company
road, but as far as I understand, there is currently an accesses easement for it.
2. Phil also wanted to know how we find out on which side of the ditch the trial will
be required to go. We have some internal staff discussions that need to happen
between the Transportation Planning Department and the Parks Planning Department
to determine which side of the ditch the trail will ultimately be located.
3. Finally, I said I would provide for you the new code language dealing with private
streets and private drives. Please see the attached sheets.
Feel free to call me if you have any questions about any of this at 221-6206.
