It should <br />also be noted that upon site inspection of the turnaround area, <br />no trees will be required to be removed. The Planning Commission <br />did condition approval on applicant providing plantings adjacent <br />to the turnaround area to minimize visual impact from road. The <br />area is located within a heavily treed area, it shall be up to <br />the applicant to determine the type of plantings that would be <br />able to survive within a shaded environment. <br />In other discussion, the Planning Commission advised staff <br />that they had not met the full intent of the directives of the <br />original PRD in their method of measuring the width of the <br />driveway, review Exhibit G. The Planning Commission advised <br />staff that all future driveways shall be measured parallel to the <br />street and any driveway that angles as the subject driveway does <br />would be subject to the approval of the City. In the future, all <br />driveways must be aligned in a straight line from the road and <br />any variation would require City ap’^^'cv^al. If Council concurs, <br />the City staff will adopt the methc set forth by the Planning <br />Commission in Exhibit H. Staff will make the necessary <br />improvements to the hardcover inventory for Lot 4, Block 1, <br />located at 2008 Sugarwood Drive.
