The property is generally located in the triangular area formed by the intersection of Nowthen Boulevard, Sunfish Lake Boulevard., and Alpine Drive. The Planning Commission reviewed the sketch plan for the property at the June 6, 2002 meeting. The sketch plan showed a total of 157 townhouse units (comprised of two-unit and sixteen-unit townhome buildings). The preliminary plat shows the first phase of the development and consists of 19, two-unit townhome buildings and six single-family lots for a total of 44 housing units. The property is currently zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential and R-1 Single Family Residential. The townhomes are shown on the property zoned R-2 and the single-family lots are shown on the land zoned R-i, with the exception of the existing single~ family house shown on the northwest portion of the development. The property is approximately 23.36 acres in size. The preliminary plat shows two large outlots that will be subdivided in the future. When the acreage of the outlots (8.6 acres) are factored out, the net density shown on the preliminary plat is 2.8 units per acre. The sketch plan reviewed in June 2002, showed seven, 16- unit townhouse buildings. The R-2 Zoning District allows for a maximum of ten units per building. Allstate has submitted a request for a zoning ordinance amendment to increase the number of allowable units per building to 16 units in the R-2 District. The amendment will be considered at the October Planning Commission meeting. If the amendment is approved, Allstate will be bringing forward a preliminary plat subdividing the large outlot with 16-unit townhome buildings. The townhomes will be subject to a site plan review in October for all other aspects of the proposal including, but not limited to, architectural standards, off-street parking, structure setbacks, and landscaping. The results of the site plan review may impact the actual number of townhomes to be developed on the property and the preliminary plat approval will be subject to final site plan approval by the City Council. The R-2 Zoning District does not have a minimum lot size for townhouse units. However, the R-2 District does require certain City Council/September 24, 2002 Page 19 of 33
