length. Staff has reviewed the proposed setbacks for the townhouse units and find them acceptable. The closest townhome unit is about 50 feet fi.om the rear lot line of an existing single-family lot. The units are also setback at least 35 feet from the proposed Iodine St. right-of-way. The townhome units meet the setback requirements from the exterior boundary line with the exception of Lot 26, Block 6, which does not meet the 40-foot rear yard setback requirement. The townhome portion of the development will consist of three (3) three-unit buildings, five (5) four-unit buildings, one (1) six-unit building and seven (7) eight-unit buildings. City Code establishes that multiple family structures of 3 or more units are subject to a site plan review. The townhome units within the development consist of two types, a row-house style and back-to- back style. The row-house style buildings have three-, four-, or six-units with split-entry floor plans and reach a height of 27 feet. The row-house units have 1,694 square feet each one has three bedrooms.. The back-to-back .structures all have eight units and are two story buildings reaching a height of 35 feet. The eight-unit buildings range from 1,655 to i,667 square feet in size and all have three bedrooms. The exteriors of all of the towr/house buildings are proposed to consist of primarily vinyl siding with accent brick around the garages. The roof will have asphalt shingles. Each unit will have an attached double car garage. The townhomes will be accessed thru a combination of public and private roads. The public roads will have 60 feet of fight-of-way and will be constructed 30 feet curb to curb. The private roads will be 24 feet wide. The development agreement will require the private streets to be constructed and maintained to City street standards. The landscaping plan is generally acceptable subject to the revisions requested in the staff review letter.
