The comments have been forwarded to the applicants and they will be developing a plan that <br />addresses the driveway slope issue. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff recommends conceptual i^proval of the Sketch Plan subject to the following findings: <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br />5. <br />The layout of the lots meets the requirements for a front/back lot subdivision. <br />The proposed use of the land is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />The conservation easements over the east 5 acres and the eastern property would <br />eliminate the need to create a road extension since the total additional building sites <br />would only add one to North Arm Lane. (The North Arm Lane corridor is not fully <br />developed to typical road standards. When the east property develops with an additional <br />residential lot the condition and upgrading of the road will have to he determined at that <br />time.) <br />The properties to the north and south are either fully developed or have future access <br />planned for new lots. <br />The variance for the wetland crossing is justified based on the fact the wetland crossing <br />is required for access and the access minimizes impact on the wetland and wetland buffer <br />area. <br />Such recommendation is based on the following conditions: <br />1.Applicants shall provide an engineered grading plan demonstrating improved driveway <br />grades acceptable to the City Engineer with a Preliminary Plat application. <br />2. Applicants shall make application within 90 days for a Preliminary Plat. <br />3. The Final Plat shall include simultaneous recording of all easements for conservation <br />areas. <br />Planning Commbsion Options for Action <br />A Sketch Plan Review does not require a formal action by the Planning Commission. The Plaiming <br />Conunission can use this opportunity to provide feedback on the lot layout and wetland variance <br />request to the subdividers.
