Zoning File #1326 June 8r 1989 Page 2 of 4 This application was submitted in August 1988. Initial reviews by the Planning Commission were shaped to a great degree by the input from surrounding property owners, who voiced great concern about the effect this development would have on their properties. Drainage was the prime concern voiced by residents of the Chevy Chase area to the south. The driveway access from the private road, along with drainage, were the concerns of the neighbor immediately to the east, Hauser. DRAINA6B ISSUE - In response to the drainage concerns. Planning Commission required that the applicant submit a site plan showing existing and proposed grades. Also, after his review of this information, the City Engineer recommended that a drainage retention basin be constructed at the south end of the property, not only to mitigate any potential additional run-off due to development of this lot, but to retain run-off from a significant portion of the golf course property. The intent of the retention basin is to collect run-off and discharge it at a controlled rate, so that Chevy Chase properties will not get all the run-off at once. The City Engineer has reviewed the proposed retention basin and has made one change, raising the height of the berm by 1* and slightly increasing the temporary storage capacity. With this revision, he has recommended approval. ACCESS ISSUE - Regarding the access, there is an existing private road abutting the proposed building lot, that serves the plat of "Fairway View" approximately 1/4 mile to the west. This private road currently serves 8 existing residences. This road is not platted as an outlot for most of its length, but exists merely on easements. It was obviously the intent of the City when the plat of Fairway View was approved in 1977, that a private outlot road corridor should be dedicated as properties along the actual roadway subdivided. The City is requiring dedication of a 25' outlot for the southerly half of this private road along the north boundary of the entire Country Club parcel being subdivided. The proposed driveway leading from the private road to the proposed house has been a concern of property owner Hauser to the east, since it will run adjacent to his back yard. He is concerned about the removal of trees to create a driveway within the 60* corridor, and feels that such a driveway will reduce the value of his existing residence, which he is in the process of selling an'^ subdividing to construct a new home further south (Application #1407).
