Chairman Keith Witecki and Planning Commission Members 2 February, 1995 Page 4 identified many commitments that we can make to respond to the Planning Commission's intent. We share that objective. We do ask your understanding (in the context of what I explained above) about our concern about any potential delay of our plans caused by the fact that the planning for the adjacent parcels is not as far along as we are. In our meeting with Mr. Harstad we identified several key design elements that can be carried through to his proposed development. We have addressed those elements in our PUD and you will have all of that infonnation available when you review his PUD. The following section identifies the elements that can be employed to achieve design continuity. Common DesiiD Elements Mr. Harstad has agreed to utilize a virtually identical site amenity package. This will include project landscaping, decorative lighting, signage, mailboxes, and entry features. He and Mr. Pratt have agreed to utilize a compatible set of exterior building materials. The compatibility of these materials will include both the color and the texture. BERMING AND LANDSCAPING ALONG WESTERN AVENUE Commissioner Thomas asked about the details for the benning and landscaping along Western Avenue. We have prepared section drawings and a detail of this landscaping for presentation to the Planning Commission and public at the meeting. We will also explain more fully the increased setbacks in this area and other design elements related to this area. PARK DESIGN, TRAIL ACCESS Commissioner Wall asked for details about the park, what it will include and access to it from the east. The City has not completed any park design work for the park and as we described at the last meeting, the questions related to storm water drainage will affect the ultimate design. The Parks Commission wants to build a Neighborhood Park there. Typically, neighborhood parks include play structures, tennis courts, informal ball fields, picnic areas, and a small amount of parking. There will be a connection to the sidewalk along the main road near the center of the development. The exact location will be determined when the stonn water drainage plans are finalized. If the storm water design plans result in a significant reduction of the quality or size of this park, the District will pay park dedication fees in cash and potentially add a couple of single family lots. It is our hope that this will not be necessary.
