'- Range from 18-20 feet as measured from front porch (Driveway lengths range from 24 to 26 feet in length) 30 feet 10 feet As part of the City Council's approval of the preliminary site plan on February 25, 2003, the Council allowed no more than 3 cottage units to have a length less of 25 feet. In reviewing the final site plan, staff has been unable to determine if this condition is being met. It appears that more than three units, particularly the eastern cottages have a driveway less than 25 feet. Please provide the City an exhibit showing the driveway lengths for all of the cottages. Structure Height:. City Code restricts the building height to 35 feet. The plans show that the height of the structures will be about 28 feet in height. The units meet the requirement of the ordinance. Off-Street Parldng Requirements: The off-street parking requirements only apply to the 36 cottages. Under code, a minimum of 72 off-street parking stalls (2 parking stalls per unit). All of the proposed townhouse units will have a two stall garage. The parking provided by the garages will meet the code requirement. 9. Grading and Drainage: A detailed grading and drainage plan has been addressed as part of the plat review for Village of Sunfish Lake. 10. Landscaping. The landscaping component of this development consists of two parts. The first is the portion of the development that will consist of a total of seventy-nine (79) single family homes. Per City Code, each lot should include both a coniferous and deciduous tree, which results in a minimum of 158 trees being planted. The most recent landscaping plan, dated March 24, 2003, indicates that seventy-nine (79) conifers and eighty (80) deciduous trees will be installed. While the planting schedule indicates a pool of species will be used, an effort should be made to ensure a healthy mix of species as opposed to a monoculture planting along any of the streets. Also, although the minimum number of trees to be planted is being satisfied, there is one lot (Lot 14, Block 1) that does not show any trees being planted. This should be corrected to ensure that each lot receives two trees. I I I I I I I' I I I I I I I I i i I
