The developer is not required to bring the revised sketch ,plan back to the Ci~ Council.

Response to Council concerns/.d, ire~:tion; The~ 13rd and current sketch plan is proposing to develop 16 single family lots and26 detadhed single unit townhomes for a net density of 2.9 units per acre. ~ 1. The PUD ordinance requires 20% mblic open space or 50% private open space. The sketch plan is showing approximately 4.6 acres of open space area, which equates to 16% open space area and does not include any wetland credit allowed by City Code. City Code states that 50% of a wetland can be credited towards required open space area. In this case, utilizing a portion of:thel wetland area WOuld result in approximately 26% public open space area within the development. The sketch plan also indicates 8 different common/useable open space areas that could facilitate the installation of recreation amenities. The sketch plan is showing park benches and a gazebo throughout the development, 2. The 3rd sketch plan has been revised to decrease net density from 3.5 units per acre to 2.9 units per acre.
