I got a preview of these concerns, and advised Jon that the lateness of the comments will cause significant heartburn for
Mark and Tony. We're sitting about 8 months after approval of the site plan, and expecting their final plat submittal any
day. Be prepared for some fallout.

Tony (and Mark),
As I mentioned in our phone conversation yesterday, I was not able to attend the Pre-Submittal Meeting for the Plat of
Mountaingate Cluster Subdivision. In reviewing it upon my return, I do see a couple of items that will cause problems in
the future if not addressed. All but one can be fixed by making a few line changes on the plat. (Please be aware points 2
and 3 are altered from our phone conversation.)
1) On the street abutting lots 1-16, both ends of the access easement need to terminate at least five feet away
from the boundary of the plat. (This will demonstrate that no direct access is being provided to Mountaingate
Drive to the west or to future development to the east.)
2) The driveways on Lots 27 and 28 do not meet the minimum separation from intersection curb returns as shown
in SDC Table 4.2-4. As we had discussed on the phone, these driveways can be combined in to one if a joint use
access easement was placed on the plat. However, after discussing this with 8rian Barnett and looking at the
proximity of the homes to the roadway, it will acceptable but not be required. (The max driveway width for
these combined driveways would be 24' standard, but an over width driveway would be allowed. You
mentioned duringour conversation the possibility of combining other driveways this way, which is acceptable.)
3) Comparing the present plat with the tentative, there is no turnaround for passenger vehicle or garbage trucks on
the street along Lots 29-36. All streets are required to have a turnaround (SDC 4.2-105(E)).
Feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
fin-
