Paragraph 23: Standard notes will be included on the final landscape plan, including note that Homeowner's Association shall be responsible for maintenance of all common landscaping, including that in the public ROW and, depending on ownership, the existing 10' alley at the east. Paragraph 25: Please change "public" open space reference in your materials to "common private open space" which would be a more accurate designation. Paragraph 27: When replacement schedule for existing landscaping has been prepared, it will be submitted for review to Natural Resources and the City Forester. Paragraph 28: See revised Site Plan. Paragraph 29: TransAmerica Title Insurance is researching ownership of this 10' alley. Preliminary indications are that it is owned by the City. We will work with Kerrie Ashbeck to facilitate this vacation if it is pursued. Paragraph 30: We are working actively with Indian Hills Townhouse HOA regarding what landscape materials are appropriate to add on their property, maintenance responsibility and rights of usage. When we complete our agreement, it will be put in writing. Paragraph 31: Additional street trees will be provided on East Stuart Street as will be reflected on the final landscape plan. Paragraph 15: In the event units are zero lot line and have fencing on the lot line, gates shall be provided in such fences. Paragraph 16: The fire hydrant shown in the southeast corner will be moved as requested. Paragraph 17: A revised street standard variance request has been prepared and is being submitted concurrent with this Preliminary PUD application. Paragraph 18: Revised Preliminary Plat includes requested typical plat information. Paragraph 19: Foundations will be engineered and drainage provided as necessary based on geological conditions, including ground water. Paragraph 20: Revised Site Plan reflects sidewalk connection to Stuart Street and sidewalk on both sides of Local Street. Paragraph 21: A street standard variance has been requested, reducing street parking from 8' width to 7' width, as is necessary and appropriate to allow this attractive cottage community concept to be successful within the preexisting limiting parameters of this site, including utilities in place. See paragraph 6-7 above. Paragraph 22: Minimum setbacks are as follows: Paragraph 10: 14 1/2' easement is being provided as described above. Phone, television, and electric will be in a joint trench. Paragraph 11: Trees shall be located 4' from gas lines. Paragraph 12: Street names shall be provided at time of final. Paragraph 13: Following our meeting with Planning, Engineering and Fire, street design has been modified to increase the amount of street parking and decrease the size of the landscape offsets. This has the effect of making parking more self -enforceable because it is conveniently located in front of each house while still preserving the landscape offsets which aesthetically soften the impact of the streets and sidewalks and reduce them visually to a scale more appropriate for this neighborhood of small houses on small lots (35' and 40') with relatively short front yards. The key to the acceptability of this creative right-of-way plan from the standpoint of the fire district is that the guest parking be abundant, convenient to houses, and self -enforcing in nature. We believe we have accomplished this with this design revision. In addition, each house has two parking spaces in its garage at the rear of each house accessible by private drive. Paragraph 14: All proposed dwellings are located 150' or less from proposed Local Street Loop, except for Lot 37 which is less than 150' from Busch Court and East Stuart Street. Lots 40 and 43 will have houses with exterior walls located within 150' of proposed Local Street. Paragraphs 6 - 7: As a result of our utilities coordination meeting and my follow-up conversations with utilities representatives, all parties agree, I believe, that a 14 1/2' utilities easement in from the edge of the sidewalk as further described below is satisfactory: 3 1/2 ' from inside edge of sidewalk to electric, telephone and cable all located in common trench. Water stops located in first 6" of this 3 1/2' immediately adjacent to sidewalk. 2' from electric, telephone, and cable to center of yard tree 4' from center of yard tree to gas line 5' from gas line edge of easement Total 14 1/2' utilities easement Paragraph 8: All trees will be located 4' or more from gas lines and 2' or more from electric, telephone and cable. Light and Power has indicated that the overhead utilities in the 10' "alley" to the east will be undergrounded at the front, that is, the Stover Street side of these lots, and therefore there is no need or interest in accelerating their schedule in regard to this. When they underground these lines, they are confident they can remove the old lines from this 10' "alley" even if our development has been built out. Paragraph 9: We agree that an additional utility coordination meeting would be advisable to finalize and confirm agreement of Utilities, the City, and ourselves. LAGUNITAS COMPANY 3307 S.
