<br />Preliminary Plat: Skyline Pointe <br />June 30, 2006 <br />Page 5 of 8 <br />An irrigation system will need to be provided throughout the development where sodded and <br />landscaped areas are established. The proposed irrigation system will need to be reviewed by the <br />City Engineer. The irrigation system will need a dedicated service(s) that must be shown on the <br />utility plan. PleaSe submit details regarding the utilities for such a system. <br /> <br />Architectural Standards: The R-2: Medium Density Residential district requires the following <br />architectural requirements: <br />I) The front fa<;:ade of structures shall consist of a minimum of 35% brick, stone, or <br />stucco. <br />2) A minimum of three colors shall be used for each structure. Also, an effort should be <br />made to vary colors among structures. A color palette is required as part of the site <br />plan approval and building permit approval process. <br />3) All structures shall include at least 2 of the following items: <br />a. Articulated/cantilevered fapde <br />b. Dormers <br />c. Articulated roof line <br />d. Balconies, porches, or decks <br />e. Window Treatments <br /> <br />According to the submitted elevations, it appears the proposed units will meet the 35% brick' <br />requirement. The units facing County Road 5 must incorporate these architectural elements on <br />the side of the structure that faces the road. This will be verified before the issuance of a building <br />permit. It is strongly encouraged to vary the colors among buildings, as this contributes to high <br />quality design and a range in styles. <br /> <br />Interim Policy for Analyzing Comprehensive Plan Amendments: Last year, the Council <br />,adopted an interim policy for critiquing the merit of requests for comprehensive plan <br />amendments. Although some of these factors relate to sewer and water extensions, which are not <br />applicable in this case, the following considerations must be taken when reviewing the merits of <br />a land use change from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential. <br /> <br />The proposed land use considers traffic levels and patterns. <br />A traffic study is currently being completed for this development. The development proposes two <br />accesses, both from City streets. However, it may be necessary to construct turn lanes off of the <br />county road to accommodate the additional traffic generated from the proposed development. <br />,Jhe City Engineering is reviewing the grade and slope of 151" Lane to determine if an <br />intersection will create a problem. <br /> <br />There are no significant trave I corridors identified in this proposed subdivision. <br /> <br />The Community's expenditures for new or additional services required bv the proposed land use <br />will be recovered if the proposal "oes forward, <br />Tne land use change will produce approximately 26 more housing units than if the property were <br />developed at a low-density r.esidentialland use, It is not possible to fully determine the financial <br />etIects of this additional housing without significant analysis. The developer will be responsible <br />for the construction of all public improvements. <br /> <br />17 <br />
