I I I I I I I I I I i I I I I Site Plan Review: Sunwood Estates Page 4 of 5 January 25, 2002 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18.. 20. Driveway Width: The original site plan did not reflect the use of driveways to the individual units; the garage aprons abutted the private collectors. The Planning Commission approved this concept but there was some concern expressed by the City Engineer. As a result, the site plan has been modified to include a 25 foot driveway to each unit. Off Street Parking, Design: Increasing the private street width to 32 feet and including a 25 foot driveway to each unit resulted in the elimination of off-street parking nodes that were previously a part of the site plan. However, per a previous recommendation, the Street and Storm Sewer Details (Sheet 4 of 8 of the Constructions. Plans) were modified to include B- 6/12 concrete curbing wherever curbing is required. Off Street ParMng, Number: There are I6 2-bedroom units, I5 3-bedroom units, and I 5- bedroom unit. City Code requires 2 off-street parking spaces for each two bedroom unit and 2.5 parking spaces for each three bedroom unit and 4 off-street parking spaces for the 5- bedroom unit, for a total of 73.5 off-street parking spaces. There are 32 double garages with 25 foot long driveways, which equals 128 parking spaces. Utilities: The development will be served by municipal water and sanitary services. Th~ extension of 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. An intermediate valve should be added on the waterline between Buildings 3 and 4. 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 f~oot height restriction. They are proposed to be faced with a combination of horizontal and shingle style vinyl siding with a masonry brick facing accent, and asphalt shingles. Literal interpretation of the R-3 zoning district requires Council approval of the use of anything but masonry products on the building exterior. Staff recommends Council approval of the vinyl siding with masonry brick accents. Laundry Facilities: Each unit will have a utility room equipped with laundry facilities. Storage Space: City Code requires that garages be a minimum of 240 square feet in size. The site plan is showing each unit with a double garage measuring 576 square feet in size. Minimum Floor Area: City Code requires minimum floor areas l:br 2 and 3 bedroom units to be 650 and 775 square feet respectively. The site plan is proposing per unit gross square ~botages ranging from [,679 to 1,847 and per unit net square ~botages ranging from 964 to 1,137. This is in compliance with City Code. -179-
