DRAFT multiple family structures of 3 or more units are subject to a site plan review. Therefore, Mr. Bulow has applied for site plan approval of the quadhome portion of the development. The proposal is for 9 quadhome structures for a total of 36 units. The multifamily units are bi-level, 1 and 2 bedroom townhomes with unfinished basements. Each unit will have a minimum of 888 square feet of finished living space. The exteriors of the structures are proposed to consist of maintenance free siding and asphalt shingles. Three of the four units in each quadhome have a double garage and the fourth unit will have a single car garage. Off-street parking is also provided on paved driveways to each unit and there are 9 additional off-street parking spaces provided within 2 nodes along the private road. Public access will be provided from a cul-de-sac extension off of Dysprosium Street NW and a right-in/right-out on County Road/ti 16. The interior streets will be developed as private roads. The City Engineer has recommended a minimum pavement width of 24 feet and that the proposed surmountable concrete curb be replaced with B-612 type. The development agreement will require that parking be restricted to one side of the private street. A detailed review of the landscape plan was not accomplished at the date of this writing. Some general comments have been made regarding species but Staff would like to go on record as reserving final comments and recommendations on the landscaping following the Planning Commission review and prior to submittal of the plan to City Council. Motion by Chairperson Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, to recommend that City Council grant site plan approval to the quadhomes at Mallard Ponds contingent upon compliance with the City Staff review letter dated May 31, 2000 and any landscape modifications deemed appropriate. Further discussion: Commissioner Johnson expressed concern about headlights affecting the residents on Lot 20 of the adjacent Flintwood P.U.D. Chris Bulow, 9380 Napier Street, Otsego, replied that he has had conversations with the residents and is willing to work with them. Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Anderson, Commissioners Johnson, Dempsey, Kociscak, and Wivoda. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Nixt.
