Stormwater Drainage: Stormwater drainage for the proposed development will be reviewed at the time a site plan is submitted to the City. While general drainage issues and stormwater management were addressed at the time the land was subdivided and 1" Avenue was constructed, development of individual parcels of land within the subdivision will have to tie into the public storm sewer system. Individual site plans are forwarded from the building department to the City Engineer's office for review to make sure that the infrastructure is property designed and connected to public services. Concerns were expressed by several owners of the condominiums located south of the subject property. However, as noted at the meeting, since the existing condo building is located uphill from the property being rezoned, development of a new apartment building will not negatively affect drainage on the property to the south. With regard to existing drainageways and any spring on the subject property, the applicant's engineer will need to take these natural systems into account when they design the building and grade the site. The applicant may be able to generally discuss how they plan to address this issue at the meeting on Thursday. Traffic Safety: While staff confirms that the proposed rezoning and resulting development of the property for a 16-unit apartment building will not significantly impact traffic congestion or safety along 1st Avenue, public comments regarding excessive speed were forwarded to the police department. Police Captain Rick Wyss responded and has directed patrol officers to utilize the speed trailers and provide extra patrol for speed enforcement in this area. Trees, landscaping, and building setbacks: Staff visited the subject property to view site conditions and the location of existing trees. There are some trees located around the edges of the property. The condominium building to the south was constructed very near their north property line and a series of retaining walls were constructed to create a level area for the driveways, parking area and for the existing building. The retaining walls are built right to the property line, so any trees in that location would have been removed at the time of development. There are a few remaining trees located on the applicant's property at the base of the retaining wall. However, they are not of a quality or number that would be regulated by the sensitive areas ordinance. Nevertheless, there appears to be enough space on the property to provide the 20-foot landscaped buffer between the park to the north and approximately 20 feet between the proposed building and the retaining wall to the south. Given that the lack of landscaping or tree cover on the adjacent property to the south was caused by development of that property, staff does not believe that the applicant should be required to remedy the situation having to meet a higher standard when developing the subject property. That being said, the applicant will need to meet the residential tree requirement in the zoning code when the site is developed and trees that are preserved on site can be counted toward that requirement.
