Planning Commission Lands of Hitt August 11, 2005 Page 3 of 9 Lighting and Landscavin No skylights are proposed on the roof of the new building. Proposed building mounted lighting includes two fixtures at the main entrance and one fixture at each of the other building exits. No new landscape lighting is proposed. Trees One heritage oak tree (6" double trunk) is located in proximity to the proposed deck. A condition of approval is included requiring an arborist report be submitted with the building plans to ensure mitigation and construction methods that will not negatively impact the tree. An arborist report was not required with the site development review because the applicant is flexible regarding the final location of the deck and intends to preserve the tree. Three pepper trees (6", 8", and 10") are proposed to be removed with the construction of the new building. Drivewav and Parkin The proposal does not require any additional parking; however, two new legal sized (10' x 20') covered spaces are created in the garage of the proposed building. A section of paved driveway approximately 250 feet long is proposed from the end of the existing driveway tum around to provide vehicular access to the proposed building. Grading and Drainage The Engineering Department has reviewed the plans and has recommended conditions of approval as specified in Attachment 1. Originally, the applicant had proposed six (6) feet cut and a six (6) foot retaining wall adjacent to the garage roll up door. This would have required an exception to the grading policy (max cut 4 feet). The applicant has stepped the cut and redesigned the wall to include two staggered walls. The current plan complies with the Town's grading policy. Proposed grading quantities for the project include 670 cubic yards of cut, 20 cubic yards of fill, and 650 cubic yards to be spread around the site. The proposed drainage for the site involves a series of area drains that carry water away from the new building and into a detention chamber followed by an energy dissipater located over 30 feet from the northern property line. The final drainage will be reviewed by the Engineering Department prior to final inspection of the residence per conditions of approval.
