. 0 FAIRVIEW DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, INC., CASE 1647 Page 2 know, the City has in the past allowed such easements to function as access to isolated parcels, rather than to extend a public street for a single parcel. A 60 foot easement already exists providing mutual access to the properties to the west and east. The easement would simply provide additional access to the new parcel in question. 5. Our principal concern to this proposal is the handling of a large pile of dirt at the northeast corner of the site. Much of this dirt is located on the 60 foot strip of land proposed to be dedicated to the City. Portions of the pile are further to the east on the existing City park land. It is important to ascertain the disposition of this pile of dirt. It was placed there at the time of grading for other construction done by the applicant. What is needed is a revised grading plan to clearly illustrate the final disposition of the material as it relates both to the site being developed and the contiguous property to be dedicated to the City. A planting plan should be developed which relates specifically to this area of the site to ascertain appropriate measures to prevent erosion, apply appropriate soil cover, and install appropriate landscaping to screen the parking area to be developed, particularly where it is contiguous to Langton Lake Park. 6. In summary, this application is for approval of a preliminary plat and an approval of the variance to the required setback for parking along the south property line and a variance to the public street frontage requirement. A condition could be attached requiring staff review and approval for a revised grading plan and a landscaping plan with particular emphasis on a solution to the disposition of excess grading material, ground cover, and landscape screening solution.
