Structur..e Height: City Code restricts building height to 35 feet. Staff has been supplied information that states the townhouse structures will range in height from 29 feet to 31.5 feet. Off-Street Parking Requirements: The proposed development is required to provide a minimum of 402 off-street parking spaces (2 parking stalls per unit) within the development. The proposed townhouse units will all include a two stall garage and a driveway that wilI'-be 25 feet in length. The proposed garage and driveway will provide enough area for more than two off- street parking stalls per unit. Maximum Driveway Width: The maximum driveway width permitted for each unit is 20-feet. The site plan appears to meet this requirement, however the site plan should be revised to include this information.

The exterior materials, for the proposed townhouse structures meet Ckty Code requirements. _L. andscapin.~: City Code requires a minimum of two overstory trees, four ornamental trees, and twelve shrubs (resulting in a minimum of 402 overstory trees, 808 ornamental trees, and 2,424 shrubs). The revised landscaping plan, dated April 25, 2003, shows the typical plantings for each of the different sized buildings. The minimum requirements for shrubbery and ornamental trees will be satisfied. The plan indicates that a pontion of the overstory :requirement will':be met by preserving some of the existing trees on site. As stated above, the minimum number of required overstory trees is 404. The plan indicates that 143 existing trees are being preserved and thus, 261 overstory trees are to be planted. However, the City does not consider all of these trees as -204-
