Josh,
We have reviewed the attached staff report and with the exception of Site Specific Condition 5. (e) we are in agreement with the conditions. Due to the
short amount of time available to respond I will summarize our comments in this email and will follow up with a more detailed letter.
Site Specific Condition
5. (e) The irrigation easement proposed along the rear lot lines of Lots 5-11, Block 1 shall either be located in a common lot, or the applicant can ask for Council
waiver if desired.
Response – 1. The easement is located at the rear of larger lots that will not be adversely affected by the easement.
2. The easement is located on a 2:1 slope and it is not likely that the homeowners would utilize this space anyway.
3. Due to the slope of these lots a common lot would not provide any benefit to the other neighbors in the subdivision and would become a
maintenance issue for the HOA.
4. It is not uncommon for pressure irrigation pipe of similar size to be constructed along the rear lot line.
For these reasons we do not believe that there are any negative impacts to allowing an easement in this instance instead of creating a common lot.
We request that the East Ridge Final Plat be removed from the consent agenda so that this matter can be discussed with the City Council at the Hearing.
Thank you
