Dear Dick:
Staff has reviewed the Granada Heights Replat of Lots 6-29 PUD
Preliminary and Final and has the following comments:
✓1/ Normal Light and Power development charges (minus any credit
for charges previously paid) will apply. Any relocation of
existing Light and Power facilities will be at the expense of the
developer.
2. The following items need to be added or clarified on the site
plan:
a/ site plan needs to reflect "Preliminary and Final";
�br the area, purpose and maintenance of Tract B should be
specified;
C. maximum building height.needs to be added;
�d� site plan needs to reflect the 150 foot information (uses,
/ vegetation, densities);
fie. any existing vegetation (trees and shrubs) on the site
LIZneeds to be shown and identified as to species and size;
any plans for perimeter or on -lot fencing need to be
shown; and
g. any proposed signage needs to be shown.
3/ v
This site receives 60% on the Residential Density Chart, which
''supports the proposed gross density of 5.95 DU/acre.
Is there a typical floorplan and building elevation that will
ube used for this project? If so, this should be shown on the site
plan. Clarification is needed whether the developer intends stick -
built or modular construction, double -wide mobile homes, and/or
zero lot line construction. Based on the building envelopes shown
on the site plan, it appears that any of the above types of units
may be proposed. Due to the narrow width of many of the proposed
lots, it is important to clarify as much of this as possible, so
that we can verify that the intended building product fits on the
proposed lots.
5. A traffic study needs to be submitted for the proposed plan.

For further information, contact Rita Davis of the Transportation
Division.
6. The Solar Orientation Ordinance requires that 65% of single
family and duplex lots (less than 15,000 square feet .in area) be
oriented with the front lot line oriented to within thirty degrees
of a true east -west line. All lots meeting this definition should
be identified on the site plan with shading and a note identifying
the number of oriented lots should be added to the site plan notes.
If fewer than 65% of the lots are oriented, a variance must be
requested.
7. A connection to the future trail planned along the railroad
property to the north should be considered, in the vicinity of Lots
22-25.
8. A final drainage report and erosion control report need to be
submitted. Since these items are late, we may not be able to keep
this project on the review schedule for the March Planning and
Zoning Board meeting. These two items should be submitted as soon
as possible.
9. Access to the detention pond, for maintenance purposes, must be
addressed.
10. A primary concern that needs to be addressed in the drainage
study is the proposed imperviousness and present detention pond
size.
11. Clarification is needed regarding whether there will be any
disturbance (including grading) of the existing wetlands with this
development proposal. If there is disturbance, .the area of
disturbance needs to be shown on the site plan.
12. Comments on red lined utility plans are being returned under
separate cover.
13. A soils report must be submitted, with the following
information:
- soil boring log and boring data;
- groundwater level;
- soil bearing capacity;
- corrosiveness; and
- soil classification.
As noted in #8 above, our receipt of this information after the
submittal deadline may result in a delay of this project..
14. Madera Court should be platted as a 36' wide street on a 54'
right-of-way.
15. Any existing damaged curb, gutter or sidewalk must be repaired.
16. The intersection of Alameda and Hanna should be platted as an
"L" shaped intersection with a 20' inside radius, to improve sight
distance and reduce speeds.
Revised plans and documents addressing the above comments must be
submitted to my office on the following schedule:
Wednesday, March 4, 1992
Monday, March 16, 1992
Five sets of all revised
plans and documents
Ten folded sets of the
plat and site plan, 8-1/2
x 11" PMT and colored
rendering of the. site plan
Please call me if you have any questions regarding these comments.
Sincerely,
