Mr. Kuennen presented the landscape plan that was submitted with the preliminary and final plat and PUD amendment and indicated the developer identified a need to create a buffer between the existing townhouse units and the proposed single family lots. He indicated there are two guest parking areas that will remain for the townhouse units and a fence that will be installed as a buffer for the single family lots in these locations. Mr. Kuennen stated that should the Planning Commission recommend approval of the preliminary and final plat, easement vacation, and PUD amendment, Planning Department staff recommends approval subject to the 7 stipulations listed in the April 15, 2011 planning report.

He commented that city staff suggested that he include what is currently shown as Outlot A as two single family lots in Stone Borough 4th Addition.

Associate Planner Allyn Kuennen presented the planning report. Mr. Kuennen went into more detail regarding the proposed two additional single family lots in Stone Borough 4th Addition. He indicated that while the proposed design does meet Zoning Ordinance requirements, a more regular lot design could be achieved via a land .swap with the adjacent townhome HOA as described in the planning report. Planning Commission Meeting April 21, 2011 Page 5 Mr. Kuennen stated that should the Planning Commission recommend approval of the preliminary plat, final plat, and easement vacation, Planning Department staff recommends approval subject to the 7 stipulations listed in the April 15, 2011 planning report. Vice Chair Lillehei asked for comments from the Planning Commission. Discussion points were: • The buffer landscaping for the additional two single family lots was discussed. The landscaping will not be installed on these two lots until they have been sold.
