The applicant has applied for a variance that will be presented to the Board of Adjustment on May 2, 2002. Densitw: The site plan shows a total of 110 units on 24.1 acres, wkich equates to a gross density of 4.56 units per acre. Factoring out the major road right-of-way (T.H. #47 and Alpine Drive) and the wetlands, the net density is 6.8 un/ts per acre. Access: Streets and access have been reviewed as a part of the Preliminary Plat approval process. Please refer to .City Staff'Preliminary Plat Review Letter dated April 26, 2002. Grading and Drainage: The grading plan is being reviewed as a part of the Preliminary Plat approval process. Please refer, to City Staff Preliminary Plat Review Letter dated April 26, 2002. REU Number: The City has enacted a quarterly drainage utility charge that is ap'plicable to the proposed development. The total quarterly drainage utility charge for the proposed townhouse development will be provided at the time the City receives the necessary information. Landscaping: A Landscape Plan has been submitted that is generally acceptable and meets the City's mn/mum standards. City Staff will continue to review the plan and make comments regarding the plan at a future date. 10. Screening: City Code requires a I5 fo0t-wide screened buffer area when a multiple family dwelling unit abuts a single family or a dupIex district. The most northwesterly townhome structure abuts the southeast comer of Wildlife Sanctuary, a. single family residential neighborhood. The site plan identifies substantial tree growth between the-northwest townhome structure and Wildlife Sanctuary. It also appears that there is substantial tree cover in this area that adequately addresses the screening requirement provided they are preserved ' during construction. 11. Sound Mitigation: It is the City's responsibility to take reasonable measures to ensure compatibility between land use and traffic noise generated fi-om an adjacent highway. The City has engaged' the services of SKF to do a traffic noise level study on several pending residential- proposals along T.H. ~7. A I0-foot sound wall or a combination ofberming and sound wall must be completed as part of this development. 12.
