A lighting plan that adheres to the lighting section of Ordinance 926 shall be submitted for review and approval by the City Engineer. 7. No garages or car ports shall be located within 20 feet of a front property line in order to ensure adequate space for off-street parking (15 feet is not deep enough for the City's parking standards) and to allow for a streetscope not dominated by garage doors, which is in harmony with planned unit development that seek a more traditional neighborhood ambiance. In addition, this reduced setback shall only be granted to allow for well defined porch areas, not just the fronts of buildings. This would apply to all types of residential uses.

Utilities- All new utilities must be placed underground. 11. Water Conservation- The final master plan for each phase shall show, in sufficient detail, how the proposal will incorporate low volume irrigation systems throughout the landscaped areas of the development. 12. Individual lot owners shall be required to incorporate low volume irrigation systems throughout their landscaped areas; this requirement shall be stated in the CC&Rs under Section 4.13. 13. Future trash receptacles intended for trash service pick-up and that are placed in the common areas such as proposed parks must be screened in a manner that is similar in material and character of the neighborhood. This shall be incorporated in the final CC&Rs. 14. Glare Reduction- The proposal must adhere to the City's lighting standards, details shall be provided with the final master plan/final plat for each phase. Common Open Space 15.Hardscape- In order to determine hardscape percentages final details shall be submitted to the City Planning and Zoning and shall include all hard surfaces, etc. including perimeter sidewalks. 16. Common Activity Areas- areas need to be provided at a ratio of 1000 square feet per single family lot which amounts to 11.5 acres of common activity area for the entire PUD. These areas need to include playground equipment or pathways with benches and tables through natural or landscaped areas. For this phase of the PUD, a minimum of 3.65 acres is required of Common Activity Area. This is met through the proposed park. This Common Activity Area requirement is intended to promote areas of useable recreation and common activity areas where trails, playground equipment and other amenities are found throughout. 17.Detailed Landscape Plan- The following shall be adhered to: i. Timing of landscape installation- Each block, before the final certificate of occupancy can be obtained for the fifth home or unit that block, shall have the landscaping for all open space areas on the block completed. If the planting season prohibits this, then only temporary certificates of occupancy shall be issued and June 1" of the following year shall be the deadline for completion of the required open space landscaping. In this case, landscaping shall include installation of trails and amenities as well as all proposed planting materials. a. Sidewalks for open space areas shall be completed as each home is completed. That is, for a corner lot home, the sidewalk shall continue around as it would for a traditional corner lot home. This shall be required prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy by the. fl. Detention ponds. The detention pond block 9 shall be addressed in more detail at the time a building permit application is submitted for the initial structure to be placed on Block 9. At that time, a full landscape plan should be submitted showing how the space will be adequately landscaped and how it will be an integral part of the proposed townhomes and neighborhood. 18. Feasibility of Landscaping. Sidewalks meandering through detention pond areas shall be reconsidered and must be approved by the City Engineer, as these detention areas create low spots for ponding and will create areas of ice during the winter months inhibiting the proper use of the sidewalks for a major portion of the 19. Landscaping Per Unit- The final CC&Rs shall have the PUD ordinance requirement written into the CC&Rs. Master Plan Approval Time Limitations 20. The Preliminary Master Plan/Preliminary Plat was approved by the City Council on September 3rd 2008. This application for final master plan/final plat for Phase 1 is timely and satisfies this criterion. However, the applicant is proposing that Phase 1 be recorded in different phases. The time limit found in the City's Platting procedures continue to be applied, but for the constructions phases of Phase 1. Therefore, if the applicant only records a construction phase (a subset of Phase 1) then after recordation, the next construction phase recordation shall occur within 24 months. If no application is made within the 24 months, then the remainder of the construction phases shall expire as to their final master plan/final plat status. For purposes of administering this condition, the City shall recognize the construction phases to mean "phase." In addition, should the remaining "phases" not be platted, the remaining parcel shall reserve all the required open space and density in order to satisfy the intent and approval of the Preliminary Master Plan/Preliminary Plat, regardless of property ownership 21. Each additional phase (or remainder of unplatted portions of the proposed preliminary master plan/preliminary plat) shall expire within two (2) years of the approval of a previous phase in the order as shown on the proposed preliminary master plan, unless a final master plan/final plat is reviewed and approved by the City within that time. This shall include the construction phases for purposes of administering these conditions. The next construction phase shall therefore be required to follow the above procedure except that only staff review will be required within the allotted time limits. This will require the complete application for a final master plan/final plat or the next construction phase plat to be submitted to the City within 1.5 years of the previous approval. 22. An extension of up to one year per phase, including construction phases for platting, may be requested by the applicant. A request for extension must be reviewed and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to any expiration date. In addition, once a final plat or construction phase therein has been approved by the City, it must be recorded with the County within 6 months or it becomes null and void. 23. Block 3 needs to start at 'lot 1" rather than continuing from block 2 24.All references on final plat to be recorded and CC&R's shall refer to "Planned Unit Development" (PUD) rather than the "Planned Residential Development" (PRD) as show on proposal. 25.Normally for corner lots it is enforced that the street sides are considered 'front yards" and have the setback found in the zone which the lot is located. As this PUD has large open space elements located in these areas, those corner lots shall be considered to have side yards if the open space buffers the yard from the adjacent street to a minimum distance of twenty (20) feet in distance. 26.All staff review comments shall be addressed (see attached staff review comments).
