5 iii vtec S ,Pleu°nlbeir°28,2017 Dailas ILrau'son Rage I'f f ,minice' Pueftu'Estates f. The proposed layout allows for a minimum of 25' of driveway between the curb and garage door-more than enough for even large pickup trucks without overhanding the curb. g. No sidewalks are proposed along the street.There is a proposed sidewalk and boardwalk, however,connecting the end of the cul-de-sac down to Brian Drive.This is a positive connection and addition to the sidewalk and trail network in the City® allowing access for the new development to neighborhood parks like,Acord Creek and Tracy cB ide. h. Side setbacks are a minimum of ' to the lot lines or 10' between homes at the narrowest point. L Visitor parking is shown in two places bumped out from the street. In addition, parking could be allowed on one side of the street and there appears to be several segments of the street where up to an additional 20 ora-street parking spaces could be accommodated. We suggest that between 0.5 and 1.0 spaces per unit of visitor parking is appropriate,which this layout provides if cars-street parking is assumed. j. The density is consistent with,and lower than® the density envisioned in the Comp Plan, even though the lots are smaller than typical single family. k. Most of the houses back up to wetlands,which in some cases leaves very little rear yard space,which is undesirable and could be dangerous. It is reasonable to assume a minimum rear yard depth of 20' for all homes. Its the proposed layout it appears that all but three lots meet this minimum Lots 16,218 and 22. If this is a concern,the plan should be adjusted to create more yard space or lots should be removed. I. There was considerable discussion in previous meetings about whether the new street should end in a cul-de-sac or be a continuous through street connecting to Brion Drive. ,A through street,extending a network of connections vs. dead-ends, is almost always preferable®Making a through street here would need to go through additional wetlands and be disruptive to the current neighbors on Brian Drive.The cul-de-sac is about 8501' in length; the City's subdivision code notes a maximum of ' length,which can be modified within,a PUD. m. Access between the units to reach the rear yards for maintenance vehicles® emergency vehicles, etc.is provided in a few places, although additional access points would be desirable. At the access point between Lots 16 and 17 it might be difficult to get to the fear side of the pond behind Lot 16.There is a retaining wall proposed can the west sine of Lot 18 which might make access behind that unit difficult® meaning that the only reasonable access point to the rear of Lots 18-24 is from the yard beside Lot 24.There is a significant distance between access points frons, Lots 6 through 12.Some adjustment to the plan may be appropriate to provide better utility maintenance access at several locations. .
