Once the tree report is approved, the applicant is required to print the report's recommendations on the specification, site plan, and landscape plan pages of the building permit plan set. Staff's recommendation also includes conditions covering tree trimming and security bonds for the existing trees. Visual Analysis The Specific Plan requires that a visual analysis of future homes in this area be conducted during the PUD development plan review process for projects on sites with improvements heights above a 475 ft. elevation limit. The applicant provided a photo simulation with the original application submittal, but it does not include the proposed vegetation or the recent revisions. Staff feels that the photo simulation does convey the proposed home appropriately, and the Planning Commission accepted the simulation as proposed. Road Dedication This project is required to dedicate in fee the Vineyard Avenue Trail for public benefit. The Trail will be retained for purposes of serving the EBRPD property (Shadow Cliff Regional Recreation Area, just north of the Vineyard Avenue Trail) and to provide access to the subject site. EBRPD intends to install a gate at some point in the future and has stated that it will not interfere with the access to this property. The applicant will be required to record a deed disclosing the potential for a gate to be constructed by the EBRPD at some point along the Vineyard Avenue Trail. Miscellaneous The project has been conditioned to address restrictions on fireplace construction, sanitary sewer connections, and water service. The applicant is being required to connect to the City's sewer and water services and that all existing septic facilities be appropriately disconnected and/or removed. The well will remain for irrigation purposes only. PUBLIC COMMENT Notices of the City Council hearing were sent to the residents within a 1,000-foot radius of the subject property. Staff has not received any comments pertaining to the proposed development as of the time the staffreport was written.
