5.0 PROJECT IMPACTS �_ 1 Residential traffic generation is estimated to be between 7 and 11 vehicle trips per dwelling unit per day (Source: Institute of Traffic Engineers —Traffic Generation Manual), or a total of 28 to 44 trips entering or leaving this site during a given 24-hour period. The City Engineer has determined that, given the proximity to South McCarrons Boulevard (a County State-Aid Highway), the additional volume of vehicle traffic generated by the proposed residential development would have a negligible impact on the surrounding neighborhood. �_� The City has adequate sanitary sewer, storm water, and water mains in place to support the proposed development project. Prior to Final Development Plan approval, the Public Works Department and the Capital Region Watershed must review and approve all of these detailed plans. �x� STAFF COMMENTS AND FINDINGS: �x, f Section 1004.016 (Residential Structure Setbacks) of the City Code requires 10-foot setbacks from interior side yard lot lines. The proposed 5-foot interior side yard setbacks will either need to be enlarged to 10 feet or they will require a variance. �.� City Staff has reviewed the submitted plans (i.e., utility, grading, and drainage) and supports the size and location of all utilities proposed, supports the preliminary street design, and supports the preliminary grading/draina�� plan. Additional design work and approval by the Capital Regions Watershed and the City Engineer is still required. �,3 The Public Works/Engineering Department has determined that the requested SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT VACATION from portions of Lots 14 through 19, Block 4, Rolling Green can be granted without negative impact. The sanitary sewer beneath the existing easement can be relocated and rebuilt at a proper gradient, and a new easement can be provided at the required width (i.e., 20 feet) in a location that will not cause other potential land use conflicts in the future. �_� With respect to the requested STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION, Chandler Avenue bas not been developed near this segment of right-of-way and in light of the steep slope to the south of this segment, there are no plans to construct a public roadway in this location; the Public Warks/Engin�eriri� Department has therefore determined that the existing right-of-way is unnecessary and may be vacated without compromising the public interest. ��. 5 The FTNAL PLAT will need to show 10-foot drainagelutility easements centered on the side lot lines as well as 10-foot easements adjacent to the public streets (existing and proposed) and all exterior property lines, in accordance with t�ie City's requirements. It is intended that storm water will be detained and infiltrated on site. �_t� Tree preservationlreplacement,grading, drainage, and landscape plans will be required as part of the Final Plat approval process and must gain the approval of the appropriate City staff and, if necessary, the Capital Region Watershed District.
