Case, ASIA <br />Landscape Architect/Planner <br />RE:Class III Preliminary Subdivision and Planiicd Residential Development <br />Brook Park Realty <br />3560 Shoreline Drive <br />Application #2308 <br />As we discussed on Wednesday, October 1 b, I have conducted a preliminary review of the <br />applicants proposal and have visited the site. The following is a brief summary of my preliminary <br />observations and concerns. My comments are directed primarily toward site planning, <br />environmental and aesthetic issues. These comments are preliminary and do not address <br />compliance with the zoning ordinance or the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan. <br />Background : <br />The proposal is for the development of thirty town homes on approximately 9-9 acres located on <br />the north side of County Road 15 (Shoreline Drive) in the Navarre district. The site abuts an <br />existing duplex neighborhood along the east, the Burlington Northern Railroad along the North, <br />and a large underdeveloped residential parcel with a excavation company or some type of <br />commercial/light industrial operation to the west. A single family area is located to the north and <br />is separated from the site by the railroad and Northern Avenue (north of the tracks) Vehicular <br />access to the site is currently available from the east from Livingston Avenue, through the duplex <br />development to the east. Access to County Road 15 is via Blaine Avenue along the east of this <br />duplex area. A large wetland system effectively blocks direct vehicular access to County Road 16 <br />to the south. <br />OtUOBSM e09.4\1097MTKA.HOM <br />Post-it* Fax Note 7671 ‘^•'•Ic/ZoZ/TT ^ <br />Co <br />Phona #Phona # <br />Pax# <br />, ■ --------------------,
