A large portion of the site will be retained in open space and natural vegetation. Large existing trees were . indicated. Some Mountain Ash and other evergreens will be added. The Planning Commission recently had approved an extension of Hillcrest P1. to Shell Valley which should relieve the traffic on Pioneer Way in the future. A 5' wide walkway will be installed along the public right-of-way in conjunction with other developments which have dedicated for a walkway. The type of driveways designed will give each townhouse the effect of.privacy and entries on opposite sides of the structures will increase privacy. Approximately five trees will'be removed, one being over 8 in diameter. The Fire Department approved the access. Engineering requirements have been met, with storm water retention on the property being addressed. Lighting was indicated on the plan. The Staff saw no problems with the proposed landscaping, and Ms. Luster noted that there will be enough area to the rear of each unit so future owners can make additions if desired. Decks will be provided. The Staff felt the site design was good. Assistant Engineering Coordinator Bill Nims said the plan exceeded the minimum standards for cul-de-sacs or turnarounds. In answer to a question, Muryl Medina, the developer, said the stain color would be Olympic butternut, with the small amount of trim being a darker brown. Ms. Luster was asked when Hillcrest would be extended and she responded it may be within 3-5 years. Gary Nash, architect for the project, said he would like to put the electric meters on the sides of the garages rather than on the front, and Mr. LaFon agreed that would be preferable. There was some discussion -as to the ,PUD's requirements for..placement of.the meters. MR. :00N THEN` MOVED; SECONDED BY MR.

A landscape plan was submitted and a colored rendering was displayed. Ms. Luster noted that Norway Maples were indicated for a planted buffer strip to. the east of the property and she felt they may cause sight obstruction for vehicles stopped at 234th and Highway 99. Chairman Wight said, however, that those were 10'- 12' high trees with high arches so they. should be no problem. It was noted that the plan showed only "English" where it should have stated "English Ivy, 3' on center, 1 gallon size." A 6' fence was shown. Ms. Luster noted that the overall design was functional and that colored bands would break up the mass of the elevations.
