5. The proposed plat includes six lots. A11 six lots will be serveci via �private road to be coiistructed by the Developer, extending nortl�ward �long fihe west property bound�ry. Each of the 6 lots will llave a drivew�ty access froni the priv�te road, requiring 1io new driveway accesses oiito Wafiertown Road. The revised �roposal specifically eliminates a buildiilg lot 1t the southeast corner of the property, whicli wo�.ild have reqltirecl a new separate driveway access to Watertown Road, �nd which would have haci the effect of severely iuterruptiiig the long nattu�al views iiito the site as iioted in the Rural Oasis study. 6. The potential nunlber of honles to be ultimately served by t11e private road is n�ore than 6, because the road outlot will extend to the north property boundary to allow for filhire road coiulection for developiilent of the property to the inuuediate . north. Ii would be appropriate to consider whether limiting the paved ro�d widtii to 24' (instead of the normally raquired 28' for 7 or illore hornes) if it can be shown that eaisting trees that ei�lzance the woodeci backdrop c�ul be preserved. The private road will be subject to homeownez• association ownership c`illd maintenance, and subject to an tulderlying Road, Draiiiage and Utility �asement to be grantecl to the City. 7. DevelopmeYlt as a PRD will allow the creatioil of an outlot between the wooded backdrop anci Watertown Road. This outlot inay contaiii stormw�.ter ponding to serve the development, and will be covered by a Conservation Easement as well as wetland preservation covenants and easements, wooded area presez•vation coveiiants, drainage easeznezits, etc. The inteizt is to preserve the area of the outlot ii1 as natural a condition as possible with no buildings, roads or other inan-made intrusions other tllan stormwlter ponding as necessary to serve ihe development. 8. Development as a PRD will allow for slightly smaller lat sizes than ilornlally required, which is i�:ecessary to �llow the relocation of the origin�lly pro�osed builcting lot at tlie soutlleast corner of the site to a loc�ttion behind tlle wooded blcicdrop, Each of i:he six lots will have 1 width of lpproxin�.ately 180' rather ihan tlie 200' RR-1B stlndard width. Each lot h�s a proposed builciing site meeting the RR-1B setback standards (50' fi•ont ancl rear, 30' sides). 9. Loi:s 1, 2 and 3, Blocic 1 will have �n �.ver��e lot �rea of 1.4 �cres rather ihan the 2.0 acres required uncler the RIZ-113 st�ndlyds. Tllis is in p�rl a result oP the need to keep hoines oz1 �he op�osiie lots iil Bloek 2 above the steeper slopes to the e�si: to the gre�test extent possible, whicli also results in tl�.e proposed road location. Due to tlle smaller lot are�s, the tlu•ee lots in Block 1 will be sonzewh�t limited Page 3 of 13
