5. Short Plat Map, Pg 2 – This needs to be a tract not an easement. Again, the city does
not allow access easements in plats. Access is provided via public street or tract. Fire
access is typically 20-feet wide. Not sure why 25 is showing.
RESPONSE: It has been revised, please see page 2 of the short plat map,
MAP_Short_Plat_211020_v1.
6. Site Improvements, Pg 1 – This needs to be a shared driveway tract.
RESPONSE: It has been updated, see page one of P_Civil_Plans_211227_v1.
7. Site Improvements, Pg 4 – This is not consistent with your tree retention plan.
RESPONSE: It has been updated, see page four P_Civil_Plans_211227_v1.
8. Street Lighting requirements for the proposed development will be addressed under
separate cover.
RESPONSE: Understood.
9. Landscape Plans, Pg 1 – Proposed large grading slope here, how is this tree saved?
RESPONSE: Tree is proposed to be removed, please see page one of
P_Landscape_Planting_and_Tree_Replacement_Plan_211201_v1.
10. Landscape Plans, Pg 1 – Show your proposed grading contours.
RESPONSE: Grading contours are now shown on the revised plan, please see
P_Landscape_Planting_and_Tree_Replacement_Plan_211201_v1.
11. Landscape Plans, Pg 1 – This area is all graded out on your grading plan. I don’t see
how these trees can be saved.
RESPONSE: Both of the civil and landscaping plans have been revised to be
reflective of one another, please see
P_Landscape_Planting_and_Tree_Replacement_Plan_211201_v1,
P_Civil_Plans_211227_v1.
