Addition. As the single fhmily units will have a wide variety of styles, it is not possible to review architectural elevations of every unit with the site plan. Each single-family unit will receive Staff review and approval before release of the building permit. It should be noted that the Town Center Development Guidelines establish a brick enhancement threshold of 35% of the non- glazed area of the front facing wall, unless the building design is enhanced through other means such as covered porch areas, broken roof lines, articulated fagade and material or color changes. The minimum/maximum building height in this district is 2-4 stories. Each single family unit wi I1 need to adhere to the Town Center Development Guidelines. Also on June 28, 2005, the City Council adopted revisions to the Town Center Zoning District that will change the maximum front yard setback to 25 feet and the minimum driveway length to 20 feet. The site plan complies with the new standards. The new lots will be served by a public street loop with a 50-foot right-of-way on the north side of the plat. The development of the plat will include the construction of Zeolite St NW and the other 3 public streets surrounding the plat. The TC-4a District requires 2 off-street parking spaces lbr each unit; the double garages and driveways provide 4 off-street parking spaces for each unit. 'l'he Park Commission reviewed the sketch plan on February 10. They stressed the Town Center l)evelopment guideline that encourages the use of private courtyards or usable greenspace being provided /hr the residents of the buildings. The final site plan complies with the development guidelines and provides green spaces for recreational and stormwater management purposes on each block. The Grading and Drainage and Utility Plans have been reviewed. Necessary revisions are included in the City Staff Review Letter and the attached Engineering memo. Staff would call attention to a couple items: existing drainage from the Greenwood Hills neighborhood to the north currently drains onto the subject property. Development of the l0th Addition will impact drainage on these lots. It should be noted that Lots 1-6 of Block 2 are within an area shown as a permanent wetland on the I~RRWMO wetland permit. These lots cannot be platted unless the wetland permit is amended and approved by the LRRWMO. Staff has included a condition in the final plat resolution that a revised final plat be submitted with these lots shown as an outlot until the permit cma be amended. There arc several easements within the proposed plat that must be vacated prior to recording of thc plat; Staff has included this easement vacation as a condition of plat approval. Stormv~ater generated by the 8th, 9th, and i0th Additions cannot be fully accommodated on-site; part of thc volume will be directed to the regional stormwater pond in Town Center West Park. Staff has reviewed calculations provided by the applicant} this increase in runoffwill increase the area of the regional pond by 3.0 acre feet, raising the pond level approximately 0.1 feet.
