Dear Eldon,
City Staff has reviewed your submittal Quail Hollow Subdivision
Fifth Filing and offers the following comments:
1. Please note on the landscape plans who will be responsible for
maintenance of landscaping along the right of way. The Parks
Department will not be responsible for maintenance of any
landscaped areas in this project.
2. Maintenance of Tract A will be turned over to Storm Water, but
maintenance of Tract B is still in question. Indicate in a
note that any disturbance to Tracts A and B, during or after
construction, is to be kept to a minimum. Staff would prefer
to see the grass mixture for open space areas to be adapted
native grasses. Refer to the seed mixtures in the Erosion
Control Manual for further information.
3. Staff would like to see fencing covenants for lot lines
adjacent to the open space tracts, as well as along arterial
and collector streets. The covenants should restrict fences
in these areas to 4 feet in height with an open or shadow box
design. Please indicate these covenants on the landscape
plan.
4. Any fencing built along Park property shall have an 18" o.c.
concrete mow strip. Details are available from the Park
Planner. Please include this as a note on the landscape plan.
5. Shade street trees should be planted no closer than 40 feet
from steet lights. Ornamental trees can be planted no closer
than 15 feet. There are three trees shown on the landscape
plan which will need to be relocated. The southern most Bur
Oak on Overland Trail and the two Bur Oaks on Yorkshire Street
are in conflict with proposed or existing street lights.
6. Light and Power has a 2' wide ductbank in the parkway along
Overland Trail. Placement of the sidewalk and landscaping
should take this into consideration. Please check to make
sure that the utility plans match the landscape plan if any
changes are made.

7. Staff is waiting to hear from Jim Hoff to verify that the
street names are unique (and they certainly are!).
8. Please label the ditch, trail, road, or whatever the dashed
lines at the lower right side of the landscape plan represent.
9. The street layout on the vicinity map is not current. For
information purposes, please label the park site on the
vicinity map.
10. Trees in landscaped areas should not be planted within 4' of
gas mains.
11.
The landscape plan needs a north arrow.
12.
Tract B should show utility
easements
continuing between lots
28 and 29 along Lame Beaver
Court.
13.
On lot 26 there needs to be a 6' easement along the South
property line for access to
the rear
of lot 27.
14.
On lots 53, 54, and 55 there
needs to
be a separate 6' utility
easement along the north
or south
edge of the landscape
easement.
15. Design and construct Overland Trail to the south boundary of
lot 52 or no building permits will be issued for lots fronting
on Overland Trail (lots 52 and 53).
16. Check for site distance out of Mercy Court, a site distance
easement may be required.
17. Please provide additional elevations at intersections. Refer
to redlines sent to Engineer.
18. Show design for end of Blue Leaf Drive where pavement ends and
drops off to existing grade. The plat calls this Blue Leaf
Court instead of Blue Leaf Drive.
19. See redlined Utility Plans for other detailed comments.
20. Ramps at T-intersections need additional discussion. If
changes are made to the utility plans make sure that they are
reflected on the landscape plan.
21. Lots 28, 29, 30, and 31 need longer front yard setbacks to
meet the 60' minimum lot width. Also, lots 11, 12, and 13
will require increased rear lot setbacks because of minimum
lot width requirement. See attached diagram from Zoning.
22. Additional storm water comments are not available at this
time. I will forward them to you as soon as they are
available.
23. Do you have any plans to provide or encourage at least one
street tree per lot?
This concludes staff comments at this time. In order to stay on
schedule for the May 20, 1991 Planning and Zoning Board hearing,
please note the following deadlines:
Plan revisions are due May 1, 1991 by 12:00 noon.
