an existing single-family lot. The units are also setback at least 35 feet from the proposed Iodine Street right-of-way. The townhome units meet the setback requirements from the exterior boundary line. The townhome portion of the development will consist of ttu'ee (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 and 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 1,667 square feet in size and all have three bedrooms. The exteriors of all of the townhouse 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 through a combination of public and private roads. The public roads will have 60 feet of right-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. At their January 3, 2002 meeting, the Planning Commission recommended site plan approval contingent upon compliance with the City Staff Review letter, final plat approval, and the property being rezoned to R3-U. Motion by Councihnember Anderson, seconded by Councilmember Kurak, to grant site plan approval for the townhomes proposed as part of The Ponds subdivision contingent upon compliance with the City staff review letter dated December 28, 2001, final plat approval, and the property being rezoned to R-3U. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Anderson, and Kurak. Voting No: Hendriksen and Zimmerman. Case #4: Request for Final Plat Approval of McDonald 2"a Addition; Case of Robert McDonald Principal Planner Trudgeon stated that Robert McDonald is requesting final plat approval to replat McDonald Addition (2 lots) into 4 lots. The plat is approximately 43 acres in size. Mr. McDonald currently owns 38.22 acres and Mr. Makowsky owns 5.38-acres (for a total of 43.60 acres) and they would like to replat their parcels to create two more lots that will consist of 2.5 acres and 3 acres each. The City Council approved the 2001 Comprehensive Plan on December 18, 2001, and it includes abolishing the four units in 40 acres density restriction in the rural area. However, City Code has not yet been updated to remove this density restriction and, therefore, this plat is still subject to that requirement. The plat complies with 4 units in 40 acres restriction and upon completion of the Chapter 9 rewrite, the property will be eligible to resubdivide to a density of 1 unit per 2.5 acres. The newly created and existing lots meet the 200 feet of frontage on a public road requirement. All of the lots meet the 2.5 acre minimum lot size requirement. The standard drainage and utility easements are provided along the perimeter of each of the lots. City Council/February 12, 2002 Page 25 of 33
