the most advantageous future development of adjacent tracts. Access could be provided to the adjacent properties either through a public roadway or through an easement access. Provision of an easement access would limit the number of units that could be constructed on the adjacent site. Mrs. Dilgard owns a parcel of land northwest of the Merrill Creek property. A portion of her site (one single family house) has access to the north through Narbeck Avenue. However, Merrill and Ring Creek and a large ravine run through the middle of Mrs. Dilgards's property and currently there is no legal access to the majority of the site located east of the ravine. Provision of easement access through Merrill Creek's site to the Dilgard property, rather than a public roadway, would require less grading in an area with steep slopes, but would limit the number of units which could be constructed on Mrs. Dilgard's property. Current subdivision codes state that up to four single family homes can take access off an easement access. An easement access should be provided through the Merrill Creek site to Mrs. Dilgard's property. The Zevenbergen property is a single lot located north of Phase 1 and east of Phase 4. The Zevenbergen property has frontage and legal access on Glenwood Avenue. However, the site is bisected by three ravines with Glenwood Creek stream channels which run north and south. Between the ravines lie three plateau areas. The Zevenbergens currently have a single family house in the plateau area nearest Glenwood Avenue. Because of 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 the west would be difficult, if not infeasible. Development of the property with access through Merrill Creek may be difficult. The City does not have a documented 25
