Site Plan Review: Sunwood Estates January 25, _00_ 16. I7. 18. 19. 20. 21. the site plan, which equals 64 parldng spaces. There are also 35 off-street parking spaces located along the driveway collector, for a grand total of 99 parking spaces. This is 25.5 spaces over the minimum requirement. Had there been a driveway for each garage, there would be 2 indoor and 2 outdoor off-street par'king spaces for each unit for a grand total of 128 parking spaces. This exceeds what the developer is proposing but in the driveway concept, each unit has 4 personal par!ring spaces and those spaces are not available for use by other residents in the neighborhood. With the no driveway concept, each unit only has 2 personal parking spaces, but there are 35 parking spaces available for use by all residents and guests. Staff finds the no-driveway concept acceptable. Utilities: The development will be served by municipal water and sanitary services. The extension df these services into 'the plat will be addressed as part of the replatting of the property.. All utilities which are to be considered public shall be constructed to City, specifications and need to be encumbered with drainage and utility easements. The san]taw sewer line located between building 2 and building 3' does not have a sufficient setback from building 3 (only five feet) to allow it to be a public sewer. It is suggested that buildings 2 and 3 be serviced from the opposite sides. Intermediate valves will be required on the watermain loop. Irrigation details will be required as part of the utility, plan at the time of preliminary plat approval. Architectural Standards: The townhomes do not exceed the 35 foot height restriction.
