Preliminary Plat and Site Plan Review Rum Myer Estates Apdl 1,20!)5, revised April 6, 2005 Ci.?y Code specifically states that when townhouses are proposed as part of a PUD within the R-1 District, the l:ownhouse units are to be reviewed under the R-2 standards R~2 Standard Proposing for Detached- Townhouse Lot Size - None 30 exterior boundary line setback 25 t:bot building setback measured t?om public street right 9fway 20 ~bot setback from structure to SH ucture 35 fi0ot structure height measured from mean ground level to mean Lot size is slightly larger than the footprint of the structure 30 feet 25 feet 15 feet from unit to unit information, has not been supplied to staff. T~}wnhouse Size. The R-I district permits townhomes through the PUD process. City Code requires each town hou:se unit to be a certain size based on the number of bedrooms the unit will contain. bedroom 700 square feet bedroom 800 square feet bedroom 960 square feet proposed townhouses sizes will be approximately 3,324 square feet in size. Ope~ Space. The PUD ordinance stipulates that developments processed as a PUD should provide either 20% public open space (only 50% credit is allowed for wbtlands) or 50% private open space (which includes yard space, street boulevards, and other private common areas). Applying the private open space requirement, the proposed development would naid to provide a minimum, of 5 acres of private open space. [t would seem appropriate to only credit 50% for the wetlands when calculating private open space area. The preliminary plat is providing a total of 5.91 acres of open space, which equates to 59%. Access and Streets. The development is proposing access from Potassium Street. Potassium Street is ~mimproved. Construction is proposed as part of this project and the adjacent proposed Shade Tree Cottages development. This dew~lopment is providing one public cul-de-s'ac street through the development. The public street is 1,005 feet in length. City Code restricts cul-de-sacs to 600 feet in length. The development is being processed as a PUD and deviations are permitted. The options for reducing the length of the cul-de-sac are !imim-d as future street connections were not provided when the development to the north was platted and much. of i:he southern boundary of this property is covered by wetlands. -181-
