leaking across Trunk Highway 10 to the subject property. There are re-mitigation measures that <br />can be taken to address the existing plume to allow for residential or commercial development to <br />occur. However, Ryland Homes made the decision not to construct residential units on the <br />property where the plume is located at this time. As a result of Ryland Homes removing the <br />northeast phase of the project, the preliminary plat has been revised and requires City Council <br />review and approval. The applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat that includes 140 <br />townhouses and condominium units along with Outlot B, Outlot A, and Lot 1, Block 4. Outlot B <br />will most likely consist of commercial uses. It should be mentioned that future development of <br />Outlot B will require detailed attention to re-mitigation measures to ensure that environmental <br />concerns are addressed and appropriate development occurs. The original preliminary plat <br />proposed to construct a total of 195 heritage town homes and carriage condominiums. The <br />revised preliminary plat is proposing to develop 140 townhouse and condominium units and net <br />density has been established at 7.62 units per acre. The proposed density for the subject project <br />is within the density criteria of 7 to 15 units per acre established in the R-3 District. The revised <br />preliminary plat and site are requesting the same setback deviations that were approved as part of <br />the original preliminary plat. It should be noted that the unit numbering system has changed and, <br />therefore, the City Staff Review Letter dated June 4, 2004, will need to be-Updated to correspond <br />the correct unit receiving a deviation from setback standards. The revised development will still <br />meet the off-street parking, 'open space, townhouse size, and architectural standards requirements <br />established in City Code. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Wald reviewed that the Council had granted preliminary plat approv, al with the <br />installation of an eight foot high fence, along with a 10 foot high section installed where the units <br />were located immediately adjacent to Highway 10 for noise mitigation measures. The revised <br />plat is providing an eight foot berm and landscaping along the berm adjacent to Highway 10 to <br />address traffic noise concerns instead of the proposed wall. The developer was unable to <br />construct a berm within the original plat, however, with the proposed revision, a berm is now <br />possible. The Council will need to discuss whether the proposed eight foot berm and related <br />landscaping will meet the intent of the Council's sound mitigation measures approved as part of <br />the original preliminary plat. It should be noted the condominium unit that was located closest to <br />Highway 10 has been removed from the plat. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Wald indicated the revised preliminary plat proposes several desired changes: <br />1) An eight foot berm with extensive landscaping is being proposed to address, traffic' noise <br />concerns along Highway 10. 2) All ponding is being directed into an existing pond and drainage <br />easement pattern throughout the development. 3) A mixture of commercial and residential uses <br />will be more closely integrated within the MU-PUD zoned property. Staff recommends approval <br />of the revised preliminary plat. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak inquired about the issue of the sidewalk being included on both sides of <br />the street. <br /> <br />Associate Plarmer Wald replied that will be addressed in the final plat. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmennan asked if there will be eight feet of berm plus the eight foot fence. <br /> <br />P60 <br /> <br />City Council/June 8, 2004 <br />Page 14 of 22 <br /> <br /> <br />
