Staff conducted a preliminary review based on the information provided and recommends the following items be submitted or revised in order for your application to be considered complete and for the plan review to continue: 1. Certificate of Survey. Please provide two full sized copies of a Certificate of Survey which meets the City's enclosed survey standards and specifically shows the existing and proposed improvements; existing topography; and proposed grading within your property as well as within the adjacent right of way. a. Gate. The plan provided appears to propose entrance monuments and a gate. It appears that one of the monuments is situated right on the property line. Please see the enclosed handout regarding Entrance Monuments (and gates) and provide a revised plan meeting the requirements. A separate zoning permit is required; monument and gate details will be required for this permit. b. Trees. There is a row of trees proposed to be planted right on the property line where the circular driveway is to be abandoned and it appears there is an additional row of trees proposed entirely within the right of way. Our Public Works Director has reviewed the tree locations and indicated that the trees along the property line would likely be permitted, at your own risk of course. However Mr. Edwards indicated that the new trees shown completely within the right of way adjacent to the new driveway access would not be permitted. 2. Hardcover Calculations. The property is located in Tier 1 of the Stormwater Quality Overlay District. You have provided an existing hardcover calculation worksheet with your permit. Please have the surveyor prepare the proposed hardcover calculations using the City's hardcover calculation forms (enclosed). 3. Right-of-Way Improvements. Your home was constructed in or about 1996. At that time an existing bituminous access within the right of way was removed and replaced with the paver driveway. It is not clear from your proposed plans whether or not you intend to remove the pavers from the right of way. It would be the Ciry's preference that the paver improvements be removed and replaced with a paved surFace to allow the properly at 4440 Forest Lake Landing access, at a minimum. 4. Escrow & Escrow Agreement. Permits involving grading and/or review by the City's engineer require submittal of an escrow and an escrow agreement. The purpose of the escrow is to guarantee reimbursement to the City for out-of-pocket costs incurred during the review of your plans. Additionally this escrow will guarantee conformance with City Code Chapter 79 relating to erosion control and stormwater. The required escrow amount for this project is $2,000 and was paid by you. The escrow agreement is enclosed; please sign and return the escrow agreement.
