HomeMy WebLinkAboutHARMONY RIDGE PUD, PHASE ONE - FINAL - 49-95B - CORRESPONDENCE - CITIZEN COMMUNICATION (6)4. Berm: We are in agreement with having a two foot high
landscaping berm running along the west side of The Ridge
subdivision from Harmony Road south to the future bicycle
path. We understand that you have agreed to construct such a
berm with an average width of approximately 20 feet centered
on the property line but moving in and out (east and west) in
an aesthetically pleasing manner. The berm would be of the
same nature but would be entirely on Ridge property along the
portion of the western boundary of The Ridge which is between
Harmony Ridge and Harmony Road (i.e. adjacent to the
lighthouse church). You have agreed to plant the berm with
the same mixture of natural grass seed as called for in the
plans for other portions of Harmony Ridge. Assuming that the
berm were seeded at a favorable time of the year (April or
September) The Ridge would be responsible for initial watering
of the berm until the grass got started.
5. Maximum Height: We are requesting that the maximum height for
the roofs of the single family homes in, Harmony Ridge be no
more than 30 feet from the natural grade of the lot where the
home is built.
We also expressed concern to you about traffic congestion
along Harmony Road. You indicated that there was a traffic study
showing that Harmony, Ridge would not significantly impact the
traffic. We are not asking you to do anything further but because
a copy of this letter will be provided to the City we did wish to
express our continuing concern about the traffic congestion along
Harmony and especially at the intersection of Harmony Road and
Shields Street.
Thank you for taking the time to meet with us and to address
our concerns. We appreciate your willingness to address
substantially all of our concerns.
Very truly yours,
,A � )&
Stephen E. Howard
On behalf of The Harmony Ridge subdivision I agree that
Harmony Ridge will comply with the five requested items outlined
above.

Re: Harmony Ridge
Dear Mr. Vansant:
I am writing to express the concerns that The Ridge
Homeowner's Association has concerning the Harmony Ridge
development. We understand that you are willing to agree to the
request set forth below. If so, please sign in the space indicated
and return copies of this letter to us and to Steve Olt:
1. Staggering of homes: We have requested that the Harmony Ridge
home envelopes be staggered in relation to The Ridge lots so
that Harmony Ridge homes will not be built directly behind
adjacent homes in The Ridge. You have provided us with a site
development plan dated January 3, 1996 and revised February
12, 1996 and April 24, 1996 which shows the lots to be
staggered in a way which is acceptable to us.
2. Street Lighting: We have repeatedly requested that street
lighting be reduced in Harmony Ridge to take into account the
rural nature of our subdivision as well as the Cathy Fromme
Prairie. We understand that you agree that Harmony Ridge
should utilize the lowest level of street lighting which would
possibly be acceptable to the City including any reduction of
the normal City lighting requirements.
3. Your plans call for a "split rail fence" along the boundary
_between Harmony Ridge and The Ridge. We want the fence to be
a "tenon joint fence" which is the type of fence along the
streets in The Ridge and along the east boundary with the
Westbury subdivision. Either a two -pole fence or a three -pole
fence would be fine. A split rail fence is not acceptable.
We would also request that the fence run along the entire
boundary between The Ridge and Harmony Ridge except in the
location of the "future bicycle path."

Re: Harmony Ridge POD
Dear Steve:
Enclosed for your information is a copy of a letter I wrote to
Joe Vansant dated April 30, 1998. I spoke to him on Monday and
because they were not going forward with their request for final
approval this week he had not gone over the letter to determine
whether all of the items were acceptable. Nevertheless, I thought
you should have a copy.
Very truly yours,
Stephen E. Howard
