We offer the ~bllowing comments: General: The sketch plan is proposing to develop 12' acres with 152 townhome units, The subject property is located south of BUnker Lake Blvd., north of East Ramsey Parkway, on both' sides of P~inestone Street. The site ptan shows 108'2-story townhomes in'20 separate buildings 44 back to back 2-story townhomes in 7 separate buildings. Zgning/Density: The project area is ;located in the TC-4 Neighborhood DiStrict, which is intended to include a full range of housing types. The majority of the project area is in the Town Center 4b Sub-District (TC-4b), which allows for residential uses at a net density of up to units per acre. The sketch plan shows that the gross density is at 12.6 units per acre; net density will have to shown on the preliminary site plan and plat. Townhomes are a permitted use in this district. Public/Private Streets. The plat shows a combination of public and private streets. The preliminary site and sketch plan must Verify that all public streets are at least 32 feet wide in accordance with City street standards. The private street widths must be at least 24 feet wide and provide adequate clearance Ibr emergency vehicle access.. The sketch plan appears to be incorporating some sort of landscaped median on the first east/west public road south of Blinker Lake Blvd. and west of Rhinestone Street. This street needs to con~:brm to the public street standards. The north/south street on the west plat boundary needs an improved turn-around at the northerly terminus.
