■ A <br />i\ <br />• i-. <br />The Coffin site has a mixed maple/basswood woods surrounding <br />3 weUands. The site plan provides a compromise between <br />which respects the woods and wetlands, and the ^borhoods ^ <br />west and north of the site. The nvo cul-de-sacs and <br />which connects to Watertown Road are located to mimmi/e I- <br />adjacent homes and not encroach into the wetlands. <br />Looping Uie cul-de-sacs west of tlie pond would add an additional 1/d mile <br />of street, reduce the privacy for the homes on Cygnet Place b>’ having he <br />street within 100 feet of dieir lots, delete proposed lot / and eneircle me <br />vveUand witli a public street. /\nother alternative would be to connect the <br />cul-de-sacs between the wetlands through the woods. This seems <br />inconsistent with the site's natural features. <br />The cui-ue-sacs were located to provide two flag lots accessed from outlot <br />A*to lot 6 and outlot B for lot 7. By using the outlets for dri\ eways ^e lots <br />around the cul-de-sacs provide better home and septic locations on <br />14 and 15, reduce hard cover near die wetlands and create two desirable <br />lots with the privacy desired in these neighborhoods. The concern for <br />fire/public safety issues with longer driveways ma\- be addressed with a <br />minimum driveway width and turn-around space b\ the homes. Lots 6 <br />and 7 both e.xceed 3 acres and arc beautiful soudiei fv walkout view lots <br />that will complement the adjacent homes of Routson and C Swan Like <br />Additions. <br />The Dickey site has an entirely different character tiian Coffin's open <br />pasture and cropland with small, poorl\- drained class 1 and 2 wetlands <br />scattered on the site. The site design connects Countrs side Drive with tlie <br />proposed public street from Old Cr\ stal Bay Road. Discussions \dth the <br />Countryside Manor residents indicate their desire to retain their cul-de-sc <br />rather tlum connect tlie streets at this time. Tandem will build a <br />temporarx' cul-de-sac yet plat a public street to connect to Countryside <br />Drive. This solution should meet the city's desire fo: a future through <br />street imd the neighbors' desire to retain their privacy. <br />The proposed cul-de-sac which connects to Willow Drive does not connect <br />to Manor Circle due to neig.hbors' concerns mid triiffic related reasons, <br />nieven lots are ser\ ed off this street with the existing Dickey home <br />driveway to Watertown Road. New septic sites arc required for the <br />existing Dickey house restricting access to the new cul-de-sac. <br />sac
