Pleasant View Pointe – Final Plat/Plans March 18, 2025 Page 2 2 D. Status - Introduction On March 4th, 2025 a public hearing was held to review the Preliminary Plat and Wetland Replacement Plans for Pleasant View Pointe. The Planning Commission recommended approval and passed the plans onto the City Council for review and approval. On March 24th, 2025 the City council approved the Preliminary Plat and wetland replacement plan with a few recommendations and changes. These have been incorporated in the final plan set and summarized below. Pleasant View Pointe – Final Plat/Plans March 18, 2025 Page 3 3 E. Changes to Preliminary Plat 1. Storm Water Treatment – Pond to Constructed Storm Water Wetland – The final plans include the use of a constructed storm water wetland for treating the storm water. This was discussed and approved with the Preliminary Plat and is now in the final plan set. This constructed storm water wetland treats the storm water from the proposed Pleasant View Pointe development, a portion of Troendle Addition as well as current and future portions of Pleasant View Road. 2. Additional Storm Water Treatment Considerations - With the final plan set we addressed three comments from the City and MCWD related to areas of the property that were not previously being treated directly but were included in the final plans. a. One includes a small treatment facility created to treat the stormwater coming off the backyards of the homes on Lots 9-13 Block 2 along the steep slope. b. The second area is along the southern property line. While our Preliminary Plat met the requirements for this area the City asked if we could capture some additional storm water in this location. Our final plan includes a catch basin and storm pipe at the southern property line which is designed to capture a large portion of the drainage going south today and reroute it to and through the constructed storm water wetland system. This also includes capturing a portion of the storm water draining to this area from City water tower property. c. The third comment we addressed concerned sizing the stormwater wetland to accommodate the future re-construction of Pleasant View Road. For this we assumed a 31’ road section along with a 10’ paved trail. We also extended the Pleasant View drainage area east and west of the existing drainage area to capture as much impervious as possible to direct into our storm water wetland system. All of the changes to the storm water system are addressed in detail in the storm water report/narrative. 3. Connection to Nez Perce – As a part of the Council’s Preliminary Plat approval the Council decided that connecting Nez Perce as was initially intended was the City’s preference. This connection is now shown in the plans. The additional frontage created by this change allowed us to add one additional homesite along Nez Perce. 4. Revised Tree Preservation – Some additional tree loss is shown in the plans. This was due to a number of factors including but not limited to accommodating the Nez Perce connection, accommodating additional storm water treatment and some limited tree loss to accommodate some layout and lot type modifications. The vast majority of perimeter trees are still being saved as shown in the Preliminary Plat. Pleasant View Pointe – Final Plat/Plans March 18, 2025 Page 4 4 5. Pleasant View and Nez-Perce Extensions – The final plans indicated rebuilding Peaceful Lane and a portion of Nez Perce. Exactly what that means and how it is being paid for will be resolved as a part of the final plan review and Development Agreement/Contract process. F. Plan Details • Lots – 20 • All lots meet or exceed RSF standards • The set-backs and area requirements of the RSF are shown in the final plan set. Pleasant View Pointe – Final Plat/Plans March 18, 2025 Page 5 5 G. Other Considerations • Vacation of Drainage and Utility Easement – As noted in our Preliminary Plat the existing Drainage and Utility easement for the current NURP pond will need to be vacated and replacement with a new Drainage and Utility Easement encompassing the storm water wetland and related storm water components. • Vacation of Right of Way (ROW) - There are a few locations where existing right of way will need to be vacated. This was also noted with our Preliminary Plat application. o Redman Lane/Peaceful vacations were approved a number of years ago but were never recorded. These will need to be recorded with our final plat. o Since Nez Perce is being relocated, the existing Nez Pearce connection that extends through the property today will also need to be vacated with the final plat/plan approval. All easements needing to be vacated are in the plan set and shown below. Pleasant View Pointe – Final Plat/Plans March 18, 2025 Page 6 6 H. Builder As was discussed during our Preliminary Plat approval process, we are working with Charles Cudd Co. on this neighborhood. Below are the examples of the types homes that could be built in this neighborhood that were also shown to the City during the Preliminary Platting process. I. Closing We are looking forward moving ahead with our final plans and will work with the City to answer any questions that may remain and work out any final plan changes as needed.
