The <br /> attached plans have been revised to address points below. � <br /> 1. The proposed retaining wall will consist of dark color earth tone <br /> (brown) block. We have supplied a construction detail of the retaining � <br /> wall, and we have also included a barrier at the Lot 4 driveway <br /> hammer-head as requested by the City Engineer. Since there are <br /> significant over-story maple trees that we wish to preserve to the <br /> greatest extent�ossible, we are proposing an ivy planting variety that <br /> does well in the shade to satisfy screening concerns of the retaining . <br /> wall. We have also included photos and an air photo to show that the � . � � <br /> existing mature trees will also significantly help in screening the � • � � � � � <br /> majority of the wall from various view-sheds of the property. . � <br /> 2. City Engineer confirmed proposed driveway grades shown on the � _ � _ � � .� <br /> proposed plans were acceptable. . � <br /> 3. Storm sewer pipe on north side has been placed under drainage and <br /> utility easement. Rainwater gardens and swales will either be placed <br /> under easements or maintenance agreements within the covenants at � <br /> the time of Final Plat as discussed. <br /> 4. Water and sewer service connections to Lot 4 were adjusted to address . � <br /> City Engineer's comment. . <br /> 5.
