Case #8: Request for Preliminary Plat of RiVenwick 3rd Addition; Case Turtle Moon, Inc. Chairperson Nixt closed the regular portion of the Planning Commission meeting at 8:25 p.m. in order to reopen the public hearing. Public Hearing Chairperson Nixt reopened the public hearing at 8:25 p.m. Presentation Associate Planner Wald stated the City has received an application from Turtle Moon Inc. for preliminary plat review of a townhome development. The property is generally located south of Riverdale Drive and north of the existing Rivenwick urban residential development. The project area is approximately 19.46 acres in size. The maximum net density established in the R-2 District is 7 units per acre. The preliminary plat is proposing to development 112 townhouse units. The development contains an MSA road and therefore net area for the project is 16 acres. Net density for the proposed development is 7 units per acre; this complies with City Code. As outlined in the preliminary plat, Outlot D and E of Rivenwick has been platted to represent the potential alignment of Riverdale Drive. The developer is proposing to shift the proposed Riverdale Drive alignment to the north in order to provide a public street through the development. Property located south of Outlot E and D is zoned R-2, property located to the north is zoned B-1 Business. The proposed realignment of Riverdale Drive to the north results in a small portion of the project area being zoned B-1 Business. The portion of the property zoned B-1 will need to be rezoned to R-2 in order to facilitate the proposed townhouse development. Planning Commission/October 10, 2002 Page 7 of 20 -33-
