Landscape Buffer Narrative for Project: Northpointe Commercial Subdivision
Due to the configuration of this lot and the s-turn access road that runs through it coming off of S.
Abruzzo Way,we are unable to meet the minimum requirements of having a 25' landscape buffer
against the residential lots to the west and in the northwest corner of our lot.Additionally there is an 8"
sewer main that runs along that 25' mark which would put a curb over that sewer main which we
cannot do.
We would like to reduce the minimum landscape buffer width to be 15' along the west property line,
and 8' along the north property line west of the access road, to allow maneuverability around the tight
s-turn. Our proposed structure will be 76' away from the west property line leaving ample space
between it and the residences back fence.
The closest way to maintain the 25' landscape buffer would be to dead-end S. Abruzzo Way from the
neighborhood and cut off the access road completely leaving only a drive aisle for the parking along the
west side. We would also have to have no curbing in order to not cover over the sewer main.
There are four neighbors whose back fences touch the proposed buffer area. We will hold an informal
neighborhood meeting with them to hear their input for our proposal.
If you have any questions, please give me a call or an email.
Thank you,
