Mr. and Mrs. McCaskey on Barton Road, asked about the lighting and the distance of the first house from their property. Ms. Smith clarified that the lights would be small, amber-colored. 12 feet tall and placed 66 feet along the drive with baffles to prevent light spillage. She also explained that the first house's position would match the facades of the other houses. Mrs. McCaskey inquired about the buffer zone between their properties and the new houses. Ms. Smith assured that most trees would be preserved, especially the healthy ones, and that the buffer zone would remain largely unchanged, providing a natural barrier between properties. Mr. Filarski discussed concerns about the basins' proximity to the homes, highlighting the need for a gradual slope to prevent water from reaching the foundations. He suggested potential alterations to the plan, such as expanding the basin area between lots eight and nine to compensate for reducing it behind lots seven and eight. Additional concerns were raised about frost protection for the foundations due to potential freezing and thawing, emphasizing the importance of adequate coverage. There were potential solutions that were suggested like reconfiguring the pond, introduction retaining walls, or adjusting the footers to ensure proper protection. Ms. Smith acknowledged the suggestions and expressed willingness to work with the city to address these concerns, considering them reasonable. Mr. Filarski confirmed that the issues raised would be addressed ad agreed upon with the city's engineering department before approval. The footer concern would be a condition of approval., to be satisfied and reviewed administratively before the applicant appears before City Council. Ms. Smith provided spacing details for the trees, with shade trees placed approximately 40 feet apart and evergreen trees spaced about 12 feet apart. The concern about proper spacing to avoid tree overcrowding and potential health issues was acknowledged, and Ms. Smith agreed to consider this when planting.
