Area property owners are aware of the proposed development because of notices sent out for the prelim/nary plat public hearing held on May 2, 2002. Observations: The property is approximately 24.11 acres in size. The property is currently completing the process to be zoned R-3 Urban Residential, which allows for medium density residential development at a density not to exceed 7 units per acre. The net density (subtracting Alpine Drive and T.H. ~,t7 road right-of-ways and wetlands) is 6.8 units per acre. The proposed townhomes consist of four and six unit structures. In accordance with the newly adopted street policy for multiple residential developments and suggestions from City Staff, Ptanning Commission and City Council, the units will receive access from a combination of public streets and private driveway collectors. All of the driveways are at least 25 feet in length and do not exceed the 20-foot width restriction at the street. City Code requires a minimum of 280 off-street parking spaces and 415 are proposed within garages, driveways and parking nodes. After review with staff and the Planning Commission, it was agreed to remove 39 spaces located in parking nodes located on public streets. Therefore a total of 376 partdng spaces are provided. City code requires that garages be at least 240 square feet in size. The double garages proposed are 324 square feet and the single garages are 252 square feet. Lot coverage is restricted to 35% and the coverage in the project is approximately 13%. The structures on private streets meet the 25 foot setback established in the new private street policy. -299-
