The sketch plan consists of one (1)' sheet dated July 22, 2002, prepared by Pioneer <br />Engineehng. We offer the following comments: <br /> <br />Genera.l: The subject property is 43.05 acres in size and located on the northwest comer of <br />County Road 56 (Ramsey Blvd.) at County Road '116 (Industry Blvd.). The proposed .townhome <br />development includes 16 ei~nt-un/t buildings, 6 six-unit buildings, 25 four-unit buildings, and 10 <br />single-family detached un/ts for a total of 274 townhome units. The development wiI1 be subject <br />to a site plan review for all other aspects of the proposal 'including but not limited to architectural <br />standards, off-street parking, building setbacks, and landscaping. <br /> <br />Zoning: The subject property is zoned R-2 and the proposed townhome development is a <br />permitted use in the R-2 district. <br /> <br />Density: The subject property is 43.05 acres in size and the sketch plan proposes to develop 274 <br />townhouse units. Gross density has been estimated at 6.13 un/ts/acre; the wetland acreage will <br />'need to be subtracted from the total project area and the net density recalculated. Maximum <br />density in the R-2 District is 7 units/acre. <br /> <br />Streets: The submitted plan shows the majority of the townhome un/ts will front onto private <br />streets. The' private streets will outlet onto a public street that allows access to County Road 116 <br />and 149m Ave. NW. Staff is recommending another access from the north be provided to the lot <br />located on the northwest corner of County Road 56 and County Road 116. It appears that the <br />private streets meet the 200-foot maximum length when a turnaround is not provided; this <br />information will need to be verified during preliminary plat review. All public roads are required <br /> <br /> <br />
