Subject: RE: Maple Highlands - House Plans
Hello Dalton,
Thank you for providing us the drawings. We’ve had a chance to take a look at the plans and drawings
and have the following comments:
• Tree 98 can be retained. The remainder of Trees 97-101 can be removed.
• To ensure the minimum amount of impact to Tree 98 a variance on Lot 5 to reduce the
secondary front yard setback from 30 feet (30’) to 20 feet (20’) is supported.
• It appears that the driveways for Lot 5 and Lot 6 can be adjusted to reduce impacts and
impervious surface. Six feet (6’) south for Lot 5 and six feet (6’) north for Lot 6 should be doable.
• The hammerhead turn around can be reduced in size and shi�ed approximately four feet (4’)
north. The minimum hammerhead length from centerline is 45 feet (45’). This too will reduce
impacts and impervious surface.
• Reduce the tree tract width from 15 feet (15’) to 12.5 feet (12.5’).
• Trees 1 through 10 shall be retained.
Please let me know if you have ques�ons. If you’d like to set up another mee�ng to discuss please let
me know so that one can be scheduled.
Thank you.
