Parking Each home would have an attached two-car garage. Therefore, the total number of off-street parking spaces provided for the development would be 74 if 37 homes are built. The development would also provide 50 on-street parking spaces dispersed throughout the development (20 of the 50 on-street parking spaces would be provided along the project's Valley Trails Drive frontage). Trees An arborist report prepared for the project surveyed all trees, measuring 6-inches and greater in diameter, within and adjacent to the site. A total of 25 trees comprising seven species were surveyed (please refer to Exhibit D for the tree report). Of the trees surveyed, 14 are on-site, 2 of which are on the shared property line, with the remaining 11 off-site. Three of the 25 trees surveyed are considered heritage-sized (as defined by the PMC) with two of those trees being located off-site. The tree report recommends preserving a total of 13 on- and off-site trees (11 on-site and 2 on the shared property line). The applicant is proposing to remove all but one off- site tree, 10 of which are trees within Valley Trails Park, that conflict with building pad locations and/or within areas where grading would occur (the tree locations are shown on sheet 6 of Exhibit B for reference). The one off-site tree to be preserved is a heritage tree. Staff does not support the removal of off-site trees and will continue to work with the applicant to preserve off- site trees prior to returning to the Planning Commission for a formal recommendation of the project to City Council. Open Space and Amenities The proposed project includes two private landscape areas near the cul-de-sacs (labeled "Parcel A" and "Parcel B" on the proposed site plan) totaling approximately 0.23 acre, which would be maintained by the future homeowners/maintenance association. The project would also provide two paved 5-foot wide pedestrian/bicycle pathway connections from the ends of the two cul-de-sacs to the existing Valley Trails Park pathway. Ponderosa is also proposing to install a new tot-lot and perform landscape improvements (i.e., turf removal and replacement with groundcover at specified locations) in Valley Trails Park. The landscape replacement is consistent with the Valley Trails Park improvement recommendations listed in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The location of the proposed improvements (i.e., tot-lot and landscaping) are shown in Exhibit E and the Parks and Master Plan recommendations for Valley Trails Park are included as Exhibit F. The improvements will require review from the Parks and Recreation Commission prior to a formal application being presented to City Council. Any recommendations from the Parks and Recreation Commission will be provided to the Planning Commission prior to forwarding a formal development application to City Council for action. An optional development plotting plan (sheet 3 of Exhibit B) provides two options for the location of a possible club/meeting room facility. In-lieu of a residential unit, the club/meeting room building could be located on Lot 11 or Lot 37. Both lots border Valley Trails Park (see Figure 4). The approximately 945-square-foot building would include an approximately 600 square-foot club/meeting area, storage rooms, and two restroom facilities, which will be accessible from the meeting room (see Figure 5). The City's expectation is that the club/meeting room facility would not be maintained by the City (and would be maintained by Ponderosa and/or VTHA), but ostensibly would be open to the public for at least limited durations (and this requirement could P15-0551, 6900 Valley Trails Drive Planning Commission 9 of 16
