27 The RosevilleÓs Development Review Committee (DRC) met on January 31, 2019, to review the 28 proposed subdivision plans. Below are the comments based on the DRCÓs review of the 29 application: 30 Dimensional Standards 31 Although the current zoning of the subject property is LDR-2, the design of the four lots achieve 32 compliance with the LDR-1 standards for lot width, depth and square footage. 33 Easements 34 The drainage and utility easements shown at the margins of the proposed parcels meet or exceed 35 the10-foot width requirement established in §1103.03 of the Subdivision Code. Most of the 36 easements are shown at 12 feet wide, and those may be reduced unless the approved drainage 37 and storm water mitigation plans rely on the easements as proposed. There is also a utility and 38 drainage easement for the utilities under the private road; a utility and drainage easement for the 39 storm water management pond; and a pre-existing utility and drainage easement bisects the 40 norther portion of Lots 2 and 5. 41 Tree Preservation 42 The tree inventory of the subject platted area has been submitted for staff review. The Planning 43 Division and the applicant are working on the preservation plan in an effort to save as many trees 44 along the periphery as possible. To that point, most trees adjacent to the existing retaining wall 45 at the corner of Williams and North McCarrons will need to be removed due to necessary 46 grading, as will some of the trees from the corner to the private street adjacent to Williams. A 47 similar situation exists adjacent the storm management pond where most of the trees will be 48 removed. The remaining periphery trees will be further analyzed and those deemed hearty, will 49 be preserved. Most remaining trees on the interior, where homes and the private drive are to be 50 constructed, are planned to be removed. Once the plan is finalized, the CityÓs tree consultant 51 will review for consistency with the tree preservation plan requirements. 52 Stormwater Management 53 The plat addresses the assumed level of development on the proposed lots as required. The 54 grading and stormwater management plan reviewed with the plat proposal is not intended to be 55 approved with the plat as the final plan. Instead, the plans reviewed with a plat proposal are 56 intended to demonstrate that the standard City Code requirements pertaining to grading and 57 stormwater management can be met as the proposed project is implemented. The Engineering 58 Deptartment will continue to work with the developer to finalize the grading and stormwater 59 management for the proposed development. 60 Park Dedication 61 This subdivision proposal triggers a park dedication requirement because the subject property 62 includes four new lots and the new platted lots are over an acre. The Park and Recreation 63 Commission will consider the Park Dedication requirement on Tuesday, February 5, 2019, for 64 which staff will provide the Commission with their recommendation at the meeting. It is 65 anticipated that the requirement will be payment in lieu of land dedication in the amount of 66 $4,000 per lot. 67 P UBLIC C OMMENT 68 At the time this RPCA was prepared, Planning Division staff has not received any comments or 69 questions about the proposed plat.
