Hi Bill,
Thanks for the sending the staff report on Friday and for our phone conversation today. We have the following
comments on the conditions of approval:
Condition 1.2.4: Just a clarification: The subdivision is located within the NMID and Settlers' District, but the
property owners will own and maintain the on-site pressurized irrigation system.
Condition 1.2.2: As we discussed, the 25' landscape buffer along the south property line of Lot 4 will be located
almost entirely within the Jackson Drain (NMID). As noted in the staff report, the code "allows a 5' buffer width
where the buffer is encumbered by easements or other restrictions". We plan to provide at least 5 feet of
landscape buffer along the top of the bank and as noted in the condition, will submit the revised landscape plan to
show the 5' buffer and plantings. However, we request that these plantings be installed at the time Lot 4 is
developed. Lot 4 is a "tight" lot and landscaping materials will likely be destroyed during construction on the lot.
Until Lot 4 is developed the apartments to the south are "buffered" by the empty lot. The building currently under
construction on Lot 3 is 100 to 200 feet from the south property line. Please note that the landscaping along the
Stonehenge Way street frontage of Lot 4 will not be delayed.
Condition 1.2.13: We agree that cross-access to the property to the east should be provided at the time that
property re-develops. We agree to add a note to the plat to address that condition. However, since the location
of the cross-access connection is best constructed in cooperation with the re-development of that lot, we request
that the driveway stub not be required at this time.
Please let me know if you have questions about or problems with these requested changes to the conditions of
approval. I can discuss them with the Commissioners on Thursday, but would like to know of your concerns, if
