through the length of the proposed partition is conceptually acceptable. The proposed section includes paving, varying from 36 feet to the south of the development site to 28 feet adjacent to the proposed partition, curbs and gutters, and a setback sidewalk and street trees on the east side only. However, per Note 5 of the Tentative Partition plan "no street lights are proposed." In response, staff notes that the provision of individual components of public street improvements are not elective; rather they are subject to Chapter 7 and the PIDs manual. As such, all street improvements, including street lights will be enforced at the time of the PEPI review. As for the proposed street trees, there is no requirement for a street tree agreement since no new street right-of-way is being required. Therefore, prior to planting the proposed trees, the applicant shall obtain a Street Tree Planting Permit from Urban Forestry. Staff notes that the number, location and type of trees will be determined prior to issuance of the permit. As an informational item, it is noted that at the time of the PEPI, the wings of the public turnaround shall be constructed as standard driveway approaches because of the likelihood that they will be utilized as private street approaches in the future. 5) Bicycle Paths and Accessways Per the findings in EC 9.6820 and EC 9.6835 which are incorporated herein by reference, no bicycle paths or public accessways are required. (d) EC 9.6706 through EC 9.6709 Special Flood Hazard Areas Standards These standards do not apply because the subject property is not located within a special flood hazard area as mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) No. 41039C-1143-F, dated June 2, 1999. (e) EC 9.6710 Geological and Geotechnical Analysis The geotechnical analysis requirements beginning at EC 9.6710 apply because, pursuant to EC 9.6710(2)(b), the proposed development includes dedication and construction of public street, and public wastewater systems. Public Works staff confirms that the applicant's analysis, prepared by Ronald J. Derrick, P.E., G.E. and Gary C. Sandstrom, C.E.G. of Branch Engineering, Inc., which is dated March 15, 2017 meets the Level Two Analysis requirements of EC 9.6710(4)(a) and (4)(b), which consists of a compilation of record geological data, site conditions, sub-surface investigation and a report discussing site and soil characteristics in relation to the proposed development and other applicable standards. The report concludes that the site is geologically and geotechnically suitable for the proposed development. The report also includes recommendations for site preparation, drainage, excavations and pavement design, among others. Public Works staff concurs with this initial geotechnical assessment. Adherence to the report recommendations will be required during the subsequent PEPI permit, and building and site development processes. Based on these findings and future permit requirements, the development complies with this criterion. (f) EC 9.6735 Public Access Required PT17-07 Furtick - PW Referral Page 6 of 11
