HomeMy WebLinkAboutA004 - Letter from Justin Dodge To all concerned:
Hunziker Land Development is in the process of having our preliminary plat approved for our new
conservation subdivision named Hayden's Crossing on the Northwest corner of Ada Hayden Park. One
of the key elements of this project to promote connectivity within the subdivision is a trail connecting
the North street to the South street(Audobon Drive).
Through the evolution of our compromises with City staff, we arrived at a layout with 4 lots in both
phases of the subdivision (sketch plan is attached)that could have a side-loaded garage which abut this
interior trail. These side-loaded lots also allow for access for maintenance of the storm water detention
basin through an access easement.
We have proposed a 24 ft access easement and storm sewer easement between lots 15 and 16 in the
first phase of this subdivision. We have also proposed a 5 ft pedestrian path within this easement for
residents to access the trail. Our plan would be to clearly designate and identify this 5 ft path to prevent
any vehicle from parking on the path.
Given only 2 garages will face this easement,vehicle traffic would be very minimal and any pedestrian
utilizing the trail could clearly avoid the occasional car accessing their garage. This trail within the
subdivision would only be utilized by the residents of Hayden's Crossing as there is no connection
beyond the North street.
We propose that you approve the Driveway Layout Figure 1 as attached. This will certainly be the path
that a pedestrian would use rather than what is shown in Figure 2. While staff is recommending Figure
2, we believe that even if constructed, pedestrians would still use the paved easement as we propose in
Figure 1 without the markings for a path as it aligns with the path connecting to Ada Hayden Park.
While this is a conservation subdivision,we would like to minimize the additional impervious surfaces.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
Justin Dodge
