Caleb Hood Cc: Jim Jewett; Phil Hull; Jason Densmer Subject: SouthRidge Final Plat Phase #1 (FP-08-17) and SouthRidge DA Mod (MDA-08-004) Caleb, Thank you for taking the time to discuss the Final Plat conditions and DA modification with me this afternoon. While I've not yet had a chance to speak directly to our client about these conditions, it appears that we are in general agreement with the Conditions of approval for the Final Plat; however, as you and I discussed, the client may wish to address the following plat conditions: 1. Condition 7 speaks of a 15' alley radius. I don't think we'll have any problem with this because the engineer didn't seem to know where this was a problem. We'll speak with Joe Silva about this to see if he can point out the concern that prompted this condition. 2. Condition #8 requires the installation of internal landscaping...perthe DA. I believe that you are - going to address this condition and/or read in a clarification/amendment to the condition regarding this point. 3. Condition #10 requires the construction of the 6' masonry fence adjacent to the Val Vista neighbors. I believe you've had a conversation with Jim regarding this topic. Since this is about mile feet from the boundary of the final plat, it might be appropriate to adjust this condition (if the DA can also be modified) to reflect a more reasonable distance. We can discuss this at the meeting. 4. Condition #14 states that the drainage facility between the school and library parcels must be tiled. I believe the developer may wish to speak about this topic. With respect to the Development Agreement (Modification), there are a number of items that we may wish to briefly address during the hearing. I believe you've noted most of those in our previous discussion and/or during discussions with Jim. We'll address these items this evening. Overall, it appears to be in good order. We have appreciated the concerted effort that Sonya, Jenny, and you (and others) have provided during this process. Thanks Van Elg Senior Planner 462 E. Shore Drive, suite 100 10/14!2008
