to provide consistency with the R-1 zone and to limit grading impacts and maximize tree <br />preservation associated with development, those two lots must be revised to reflect a buildable <br />area not to exceed 13,500 square foot. <br />To ensure compliance with this limitation, the approval is subject to the following condition: <br />• The final site plan shall be revised to show a buildable area on Lots 5, 16 and 22 not to <br />exceed 13,500 square feet. <br />Lots 5, 6, 8, 9, 17, 18, 19, and 33 have no frontage on a public or private street. All of these lots <br />are accessed by private driveways with access easements across other parcels, or in the case of <br />Lot 19, across Tract A. <br />The Response Committee argues that access easements for these lots are inadequate because <br />they are too narrow and unsafe for pedestrians, bicyclists and physically challenged individuals. <br />While not directly related to the request to modify the street frontage, the proposed shared <br />driveway accesses provide effective frontage and access for practical purposes to these lots <br />while reducing the need for additional streets, which would create additional grading impacts <br />and potential loss of additional trees and vegetation. Accordingly, the lot frontage requirement is <br />modified for those lots. <br />Based on the above findings and subject to the conditions noted above, the proposed PUD <br />satisfies the requirements of EC 9.8320(10)(a). <br />(b) EC 9.6500 through EC 9.6505 Public Improvement Standards. <br />EC 9.6500 Easements <br />Finding: EC 9.6500 authorizes the City to require dedication of easements for public utilities <br />and access under certain circumstances and prohibits obstructions within public easements. <br />The applicant proposes to provide a 10-foot public utility easement (PUE) across Lots 1 and 2 to <br />accommodate the public storm drainage system stormwater detention pipes and manholes. For <br />the public wastewater system, public utility easements will be required as a condition of approval <br />under EC 9.6505(2), below. <br />Otherwise, the applicant does not propose, nor has Public Works staff identified, the need for <br />additional public easements to address stormwater or wastewater needs for present or future <br />development of the area. <br />EC 9.6505 Improvements-Specifications <br />Finding: EC 9.6506 requires all public improvements to be designed and constructed in <br />accordance with adopted plans and policies, the procedures specified in EC Chapter 7, and <br />standards and specifications adopted pursuant to EC Chapter 7. Additionally, all developments <br />are required to be served by and implement infrastructure improvements including water, <br />Hearings Official Decision (PDT 17-1) 63 <br />
