TopolrraDhy <br /> The subject property contains some significant topographic relief. It ranges from a low point along <br /> 1-35W of 870 ft. (which is 20 feet lower than the 890 ft. elevation of Round Lake) to a high point <br /> along the ridge abutting the lake of 940 ft. This provides an idea1land form to take advantage of <br /> excellent visibility from the freeways and some opportunity for views to the lake. The PUD <br /> Concept plans to work with the topography and maximize the site visibility. <br /> B. Wooded Areas <br /> Most of the dense vegetation of the site is located along the lakeshore banks. There are also some <br /> scattered trees in the central portion of the site, and some trees along 1-35W. Through a combination <br /> of sensitive development practices and the existing U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service ownership along <br /> the lake, the vast majority of these trees can be preserved and protected. <br /> A more detailed site analysis and grading study will be required before any conclusions can be <br /> reached regarding the feasibility of preserving trees in the central portion of the site. We will make <br /> every reasonable attempt to save trees where feasible and we are committed to a very substantial <br /> reforestation process. <br />. C. SteeD SloDes <br /> There are significant areas of steep slopes particularly along the edge with Round Lake. The <br /> grading design and construction activities will need to take special precautions to avoid erosion and <br /> siltation problems. <br /> D. Wetlands <br /> Some of the wetlands in the area have been identified and are protected. From preliminary analysis <br /> it appears that there may be additional wetlands within the area. A detailed wetlands inventory and <br /> analysis will be conducted when the Developer gains control of the property. Obviously, the <br /> preliminary development concept plan would need to be modified if additional wetlands were <br /> identified. <br /> The identification of wetlands and the creation of pre-treatment storm drainage ponds will effect the <br /> net developable acreage of the site. The Developer will work with the City to address these <br /> environmental and utility needs, while striving to accomplish the shared objective of maximizing the <br /> development potential of the site. <br /> LAND USE AND ZONING <br /> The portions of the adopted Land Use and Transportation Plans covering the proposed PUD are <br /> shown on Figure 4. As Figure 4 shows, the majority of the land contained in the proposed PUD is <br /> currently guided for Industrial land use. The proposed PUD will actually facilitate the creation of a <br /> mixed use development consisting of some pure office structures, as well as the majority of the <br /> buildings which will be a combination of office and light industrial activities. <br />. <br />
