PAGE 1 OF RESOLUTION NO. 2009-40
WHEREAS, the public notice of this action was given in all respects as required
by law; and
WHEREAS, a staff report was submitted recommending that the Planning
Commission approve the request; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all reports,
recommendations, and testimony submitted in writing and presented at the
hearing; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the Town of Danville
recommends the Town Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration of
Environmental Significance and approve Preliminary Development Plan -
Rezoning request PUD 07-01 and Final Development Plan - Major Subdivision
request DP2007-014 and SD 9204, and Tree Removal Request TR09-0036 per the
following conditions, and makes the following findings in support of this
recommendation:
Preliminary Development Plan - Rezoning:
1. The proposed Rezoning is in substantial conformance with the goals and
policies of the Danville 201 0 General Plan.
2. The uses authorized or proposed in the land use district are compatible
within the district and to uses authorized in adjacent districts.
3. Community need has been demonstrated for the uses authorized or
proposed.
4. There is no evidence before the Town that the proposed project will have
potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon
which the wildlife depends.
Final Development Plan - Major Subdivision:
1. The proposed subdivision is in substantial conformance with the goals
and policies of the Danville 2010 General Plan.
2. The design of the proposed subdivision is in substantial conformance with
the applicable zoning regulations.
PAGE 2 OF RESOLUTION NO. 2009-40
3. The design of the subdivision and the type of associated improvements
will not likely cause serious public health problems because, in part, water
and sanitary facilities services will be available to the project.
4. The density of the subdivision is physically suitable for the subject site
and surrounding neighborhood and is consistent with allowable density
standards as allowed for this site under the Danville 2010 General Plan.
5. The design of the proposed subdivision and improvements are not likely
to cause substantial environmental damage or subsequently injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat since this property is in an area where
development has previously occurred.
6. The design of the proposed subdivision and proposed improvements will
not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access
through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision.
Tree Removal Request:
1. Necessity. The primary reason for removal of 28 trees, including seven
Town-protected trees, is that preservation of those trees would be
inconsistent with the proposed residential development of the property.
Grading and paving would be necessary to create residential lots and to
build the private driveway. The proposed grading and paving could not
be conducted while preserving these trees.
2. Erosion/ surface water flow. Removal of the seven Town-protected trees
and 28 total trees would not cause significant soil erosion or cause a
significant diversion or increase in the flow of surface water because all
development would take place in compliance with the Town Erosion
Control Ordinance (Ord. 91-25) and a complete site drainage system will
be installed in conjunction with the property's development.
3. Visual effects. Removal of the 28 trees, including seven Town protected
trees would not significantly affect off-site shade or adversely affect
privacy between properties due to proposed mitigation plantings and
landscape plan.

inspector shall set up an inspection schedule at the pre-construction
meeting that allows for the following inspection check points:
. Pre-construction meeting to identify and explain the purpose
of all C3. facilities to be built on-site and how they are to
function and agree upon the schedule of inspections needed.
Check for conflicts and/or inconsistencies in the C3.
Stormwater plans with the improvement plans. Agree to
seek approval by the Town to resolve issues prior to
construction, if conflicts exist.
. Check erosion and sediment control efforts continuously
during construction. Protect C3 facilities from compaction
and erosion and sedimentation by diverting run-off around
the facilities while under construction.
· Check grading so that grade breaks and elevations are
accurate and consistent with the C3. plans, including
excavation and ripping the bottom of C3. infiltration
facilities. Ensure that the dimensions of all IMPs are
accurate.
. Ensure that the installation of sub-drains, clean-outs and
pipes collecting surface drainage from impervious surfaces
and downspouts are installed per the C3. plan from each
Drainage Management Area and conveyed to the correct
