I and 2 will be discussed together. She stated <br />Aaron Stritesky submitted a preliminary plat application to develop 7 detached townhome units <br />on the property located to the east of Nowthen Boulevard and north of Iodine Street N.W. The <br />subject property is approximately 1.7 acres in size and is zoned R-2 Medium Density <br />Residential, which allows up to 7 units per acre. The preliminary plat has been revised to <br />indicate a public road through the property, and indicates the platting of 7 lots currently, with 2 <br />additional lots to be platted when the property to the north develops and the temporary cul-de-sac <br />can be converted to a through street. The property will require a rezoning to Planned Unit <br />Development (PUD), as it does not conform to the setbacks established for the R-2 District. Ms. <br />DaInes advised the plat proposes access off of County Road 5 (Nowthen Boulevard). Helium <br />Street is indicated as a public street, with a service road right-of-way of 45 feet instead of the <br />typical 60 feet. The pavement width is proposed to be the standard 24 feet. <br /> <br />Associate Planner DaInes indicated engineering comments regarding grading and drainage and <br />streets have been provided tonight in memo form. The proposed plat does not indicate a <br />sidewalk on Helium Street, and this is generally acceptable to staff due to the requirement to <br />construct a bituminous trail along Nowthen Blvd. N.W. Building elevations have been submitted <br />and are generally acceptable to staff. It appears that the units will meet the R-2: Medium Density <br />Residential architectural standards of natural stone and architectural elements. Ms. DaInes <br />indicated Landscape and Tree Preservation Plans have been submitted. Staff is requesting that an <br />effort be made to satisfy the density transitioning requirements through the preservation of <br />additional trees. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/June 1, 2006 <br />Page 2 of19 <br />
