• Increased density is acceptable to Current Planning in the Service Commercial Zone District, which
does not have any density limitations.
• Tri-plex units must have fire sprinklers. This alleviates PFA's concerns regarding road width.
• Additional parking will need to be accounted for with the increased density. A Modification of Standard
is needed to meet parking stall width requirements.
6. Designing storm sewer to act as equalization pipe for ponds.
• This will be discussed off-line with Stormwater.
7. GWET Easement
• GWET needs to be routed the Utility Plans and Subdivision Plat prior to hearing, there will need to be a
signature block added for GWET to both plans at final compliance.

Discussion Items:
15' Utility Easement along Willox Ln. — What, if any, can be vacated?
• Xcel will accept no less than an 8' utility easement outside of the ROW.
• Comcast needs pocket easements to fulfill their needs.
• Qwest has existing service buried in ROW, future needs can be met with pocket easements.
• City Utilities will be accommodated within the ROW, no additional Utility Easement is necessary.
• City Engineering is willing to consider reducing the ROW dedication required to help alleviate the utility
easement requirements and site constraints. The applicant will need to ask for a variance decreasing
the ROW dedication from 42' to 36' from center line of Willox Lane and reduce the utility easement
outside the ROW to 8'. This variance will move the ROW line from the back of the sidewalk to the front
of the sidewalk.
• Back up plan: Acquire an easement on the north side of Willox for 15-20' in order to vacate the south
end. This requires letters of intent from all property owners on the north side of Willox.
2. What kind of landscaping can be done over the Utility Easement and in the Willox ROW?
The applicant has proposed the use of pervious pavers within the City's ROW, which requires a
variance from Engineering. Engineering has been in contact with the applicant regarding the
requirements they needs to consider the use of permeable pavers as opposed to grass or pavement.
