Minimum setbacks in an RF cluster- plan cannot vary from those required in the RL District, without a variance from the ZBA, Zoning Board of Appeals. Therefore any reference to setbacks should state exactly what the RL Zone allows. 2. Show the tracts on the Landscape/Site Plan. They should correspond to the tracts on the plat. Place a note on the plat and site plan explaining the purpose of the tracts. 3. The City will not accept Tract B as open space. 4. Obtain permission from WAPA for trail access across their easement prior to final approval and public use of the easement prior to the City accepting the open space. Please provide a letter for the files to this effect. 5. The City Forester will review the proposed landscaping in the open space tracts and his comments will be forwarded to you. 6. Phase 2 exceeds the 660' distance for a dead-end cul-de-sac. The proposed emergency access road has been discussed and would only be allowed to function as emergency access if it is maintained year round and meets all other access road criteria. 7. Parks and Recreation is interested in sharing the cost of a trail/emergency access road from Overland Trail to the Pineview Open Space area if an alignment can be agreed upon. 8. There should be a note on the plans stating that houses in the second filing must have automatic fire sprinkler systems installed prior to certificate of occupancy, or that an access road will be constructed prior to the issuance of any building permits. The District requires a separate 1" tap for fire sprinkler systems. 281 North Colle-e AVenue • l'.Q.
