RCA Attachment E 7.Tree loss. We explained that we prepared a detailed site survey of all of the trees on the site. Most trees in the area of the buildings and site improvements will be removed and replaced per the City’s tree replacement requirements. All of the existing trees south of the cul-de-sac will be preserved as a green open space area. 8.Landscaping. We responded that we will be completing the proposed landscaping at the completion of the site improvements. Our landscape plan is designed to provide a significant buffer area to the homes to the east, and along the Lexington Ave. to the west. We are not proposing any privacy fencing along the east property line. 9.Wetland impacts. There are no regulated wetlands on our property. There is an existing wetland on the north side of County Road C2. Our on-site stormwaterand infiltration basin will ultimately drain to this existing wetland.Our stormwater systems will be designed to the City, County and watershed district standards. There will be no adverse stormwater impacts to the existing wetland to the north. 10.Wildlife impacts. We expect any impacts to existing wildlife on the site will be minimal. We assume any existing wildlife on the site will migrate either to the wetland to the north, or to the undisturbed green open space to the south. 11.Home rentals. All homes will be owned/sold. The homeowners association may allow rentals with a minimum of a one year lease. 12. House plans, townhome costs, target market. Our proposed builder for this project is M/I Homes. We emailed or mailed copies of the proposed building plans to the neighbors who requested those. The proposed townhomes will be 1750 to 2085 sf, 3 bedroom, 3 bath, 2 car garage. The sale prices will be $300K to $350K. This will not be a senior or low income development. The townhomes will be marketed to a wide range of households including single people, divorced people, unmarried people living together, newly marrieds, empty nesters, and some families. 13. Existing home values. We explained that there is no guarantee that existing home values will go up or down, but typically property values increase with new development in the area. 14.Guest parking. All townhome units will be built with a two car garage and room for two cars to park in the driveway in front of the garage. There will also be paved space for 16 guest parking stalls on the south side of the cul-de-sac.
