MEMORANDUM ~p~~________~e-..~-
TO: Bobby Jean Leithead-Todd
FROM: Bill Moore, William L. Moore Planning
SUBJECT: Uohara Change of Zone-Bill No. 139, Draft 2
This is to follow up with respect to the proposed Condition E of Bill No. 139, Draft 2, related to
prohibition of landscaping. This condition presently reads as follows:
Restrictive covenants in the deeds of all the proposed lots within the subject property
shall prohibit any landscaping which negatively impacts the drainage systems. (For
example, grave placed over plastic washing into the drywells, drainage channels, etc.)
The proposed language was very restrictive in that it prohibits "ANY" landscaping which
negatively impacts drainage systems. There is no definition of landscaping (although examples
are provided) or drainage systems. Accordingly, this language is so broad, it may be
impossible to do anything on the land and not potentially violate this covenant.
While Dr. Uohara is generally supportive of the concept to limit downstream impacts from
gravel run-off, there are concerns with the above language. Accordingly, we offer the
following for your consideration:
Restrictive covenants in the deeds of all lots within the subject property shall prohibit
the placement of gravel or other similar material. on plastic or other impervious surfaces
in areas within fifteen (15) feet of any street(s) or drainage channel(s) or other drainage
improvement(s). The purpose of this condition is to minimize the potential for gravel
or other similar material to wash into street or drainage improvements during storm
events.
This proposed language directly addresses the concerns with respect to the placement of gravel
and other material on plastic surfaces and runoff of material onto streets or blocking drainage
channels. I have tried to make it clear as to what can occur and where it is prohibited.
I look forward to working with you to finalize an amendment to this condition so the rezoning
can proceed. Please call me if you have any questions on this matter.
