Dear Mr. Herlihey,
The City Staff has completed .its review of Chaparral PUD, Final, and has
the following comments:
1. Mountain Bell has an existing -buried cable in the front 8' easement of
Block 1 lots 24, 25, 26, and.27.
2. Please label and dimension the easement between Lott 14 and 15 Block 2.
3. My understanding is that the drainage report submitted was not complete
and the projects engineer_ has been working closely with Glen Schlueter,
City Storm Drainage Engineer, to work out the problems, and to provide
additional information.
4. The variable side yard setback will create problems, especially the
note "No portion of any two adjacent units to be less than 10 feet
apart". Staff suggests using the standard single family setbacks, and
placing a.note on the site plan stating such.
5. All landscaping to be installed or letter of credit, bond, or escrow
account to be in place prior to issuance of Certificate of Occupancy.
6. Please place a note on the site plan stating that the homeowners will
maintain the detention area open space.
7. Large trees can not be planted in the sewer easement between Lots 14
and 15. Please place a note on the site plan addressing this.
8.
The row of existing Cottonwoods (over 15 trees at 70' tall) along Casa
Grande need to be shown on the Landscape Plan with the intent to remove
or preserve stated. Also, please place a note on the landscape plan
stating " Existing Cottonwoods along Casa Grande shall be pruned based
SERVICES, PLANNING
9. Please place a note on the Landscape Plan stating " A free permit must
be obtained from the City Forester before any trees or shrubs as noted
on this plan are planted, pruned, or removed on the Public Right -Of -
Way.
10. The street tree species selection should be changed to Marshall Green
Ash 2 1/2 caliper. City Staff previously recommended Narrowleaf Cotton-
wood, but since irrigation is being provided, Green Ash is a better
species (see attached plan with comments on species and size).
11. Gravel bed along Shields is 20' wide which is too wide, it should be no
more than 8' wide. The line of trees and shrubs could be set back 4
feet from the back of the sidewalk -with less spreading shrub than the
common lilac. Staff suggests Peking Cotoneaster.
12. I did not receive a copy of the elevation plan, please submit a copy
and be sure to identify types of materials and typical colors.
13. Please address rear lot fencing along Tract A.
14. The shrub plantings in Tract A need to be in groups to provide for
efficient maintenance.
15. Please address how the proposed landscaping will be compatible with the
proposed grading.
Revisions reflecting these comments are dueby noon on Wednesday,
January 6, 1988. Items that cannot be shown graphically or noted. on
the plans should be addressed in writing.
PMT reductions of all plans, color renderings, and 10 full size copies
of all plans are glue by Tuesday, January 19, 1988.
All final documents are due by Thursday, January 21, 1988. The final
documents should include the development agreement, signed mylars, and
signed landscape covenants (a copy is enclosed). `
If you have any questions or would like to set up a meeting to discuss
these comments please call me at 221-6750.
