The developer has completed or has agreed to complete all requirements established at preliminary plat approval in order to gain final plat approval. There are three specific items for discussion tonight and they are as follows: The developer has provided a boulevard landscaping and entry monument plan. The landscaping proposed includes shade trees and evergreens in the boulevard of the new road and cul-de-sac, with shade trees uniformly spaced. The road is an extension of Heritage Lane. Gaffron noted there is a very narrow space between the edge of the road or the curb and the retaining wall. The City Council should consider whether this is an appropriate landscaping plan. 2. The developer is also proposing two different monuments: an entry monument that is seven or eight feet high with a wing on it. That monument is proposed to be located within the right-of- way. The City Council should determine whether it should be within the right-of-way or off to one side. Three additional individual address posts and mailbox posts are being proposed. The developer has also provided depictions of the proposed traffic control signage to be placed temporarily during construction. This includes the traffic management conditions as established in the preliminary plat approval. This signage is expected to remain during both road and new home construction. The restrictions on the construction include hours from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Some work is allowed on the weekends but not on holidays. There are further restrictions on the construction hours during the school year, with the hours being 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and no weekend hours. During the summer months the hours for construction shall be subject to the City's regulations, which are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. through 8 p.m., and on weekends and holidays 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The intent with the parking signs is that all construction parking occur within individual properties or at least near the area of the new cul-de-sac being constructed to avoid any issues with parking for the neighborhood. There is also a 15 mile -an -hour speed limit for construction traffic. Trucks leaving are required to take a right turn and not a left turn as they are leaving Heritage Lane to go onto County Road 15. 4. Disposition of the existing cul-de-sac has yet to be determined. City Consulting Engineer Bob Bean, in his letter dated 9/30/16, indicates that if the existing cul-de-sac is removed, it would require extensive work to reconnect driveway and an existing manhole would be outside the remaining pavement in boulevard lawn area.
