Results of Field Inspection for Proposed Private Utilities and Tree Preservation
Easements on MountainGate Phase 4b PIP Addendum Area (59'h Street).
, .
Pursuant to the approved Vegetation and Re-Vegetation Plan for MountainGate Phase 4'
(Wolf) and Condition of Approval #29 of Phase 4 - Attachment A- Summary of
Conditions (Donovan)- an inspection oft)1e proposed private utilities and eXisting tree
. stand was condutcted today along the westerly property line of the Phase 4b PIP
Addendum area. The purpose was to determine whether proposed private stonn and
sanitary sewer facilities (and their easements) along the west property line conflicted with
the vegetation preservation goals of the forester's report. Present we're Donovan, Favreau
and Curtiss.
The approved Tree Fellirtg Pennit and Forester's Report outlines a step by step process for
the identification of vegetation easement areas necessary to preserve the forested hillsides
and provide buffering when viewed from below. The inspection today fulfills the interinl
step of identifying those areas suitable for buffers during field staking of property lines and
PIP review. While Mr. Wolf could not be present, the principles of his report and
implementation teclmiques previously applied in the field with Mr. Wolf were followed.
The following buffer areas were identified, shall be shown on the plat and detailed in the
HDP and CCRs accordingly: . )2.1- It.. 7 .
. The westerly 30 f).~t of the west perinleter of lots along 59'h Street shall be reserved
in a private Tree ~~.v'atiOll Easement as defined in the HOP and CCRs (final
revisions pending.) This particular easement will overlap the 15 foot wide private
sanitary and stoml sewer easement proposed on the PIP addendum and allow for
the initial installation of the utilities and future maintenance. The initial installation
shall be done with least impact construction practices and in a manner that reduces
the number of trees impacted. The project engineer and forester shall observe the
installation and field locate service stubs to each lot that reduce impacts to trees.
.II shOuld b, u~kd tl1dSurface structures, perimeter drains or other private stonn water
protections may be deemed necessary by the geo-tech during building pennit revie'Y and
shall only be located within the easemenl as approved by the City.
This fulfills the applicant's tree felling and hillside development requirements and
Plarming's review of the PIP Addendum. Please advise me when the PIP project has been
approved.
