February 7,1990 63 t I 11 ;I 11 Zeventergens currently have a singlefamily house in the plateau area est Glenwood Avenue Because P the steep slopes and the existence of environmentally sensitive areas, including wetlands in the ravines, access from Glenwood Avenue to the two buildable plateaus to he west would be difficult,if not Infeasible. t6 Development of the property with access through Merrill Creek may be difficult. The City does not have a documented maximum grade for I I� private access to a residence, but 20 percent is generally I recognized as a maximum design. F truck and emergency cess is Iq I a design factor for extended private a cess ways. It appears Y I that gravity sewer service would of be available and any future Y{I i h would requirexa pump system. 1 Theareas th est p tion aP the Zevenbergen property has buildable I and plat to the east(in the middle of the property) Mayhave buildableEasementcc access could be provided to the ' southwestern portion of the it through the Merrill Creek property. Additional detailed i P mation is n essary to determine if the Zevenbergen property hes a buildable plateau area further to the east. Glenwood Terrace Plat/PRD was a single family attached PRD approved of the �� Zevenbergen the site whichSince abuts the nornot constructed,property t ucted, the Plat has g property. lapsed tl d'n approvals wt, i beerequired for construction. When � theCity provide that Plat, it required the dedicated Owner to the (( north b ndary access through a publicly dedicated street s the north boundary of the Zevenbergen property to the mast westerly plateau. IP and when a new project is proposed on that sites the City.may be able to require that property eowner to provide access to the Zevenbergen property. However,there are not currently plans to 1 develop that property. An easement access should be required to the southwest corner of the Zevenbergen property through the Merrill Creek site. Additional I information isnecessaryto determine if a ment access should be provided to the central plateau area of the Zevenbergen property.
