The final plat submittal consists of 1 final plat sheet, 10 sheets of grading, utility, landscaping, and tree preservation plans prepared by Hakanson Anderson dated April 27, 2007. Front and rear building elevations, floor plans, and a panoramic view of the subdivision were also submitted by Croix Custom Concepts dated April 18, 2007. We offer the following comments: General: The application proposes to develop 7 detached townhomes on the 1.77 -acre property located generally south of 146tb Avenue. The units will be detached homes, with commonly-held, association-maintained yard space. Zoning: The property was originally zoned R-2 Medium Density Residential, but has been rezoned to Planned Unit Development (PUD). . Density: The density proposed in the first phase of the development is 4 units per acre, with an eventual build-out density of 5 units per acre. The density proposed conforms to the approved preliminary plat. S~tbacks: The proposed setbacks conform to the preliminary plat. As part of the PUD approved for this project, the following setback deviations will be permitted: Lots, 2, 3, and 4 shall be permitted a front yard setback deviation of 4 feet, resulting in a setback from public right of way of21 feet. Lots 5, 6, and 7 shall be permitted a deviation to the setback from exterior property boundary, resulting in a rear setback of 15 feet. It shall be noted in the development agreement that, unless through a separate variance process, no building shall be permitted to be closer than 3 feet from any property line, and that no structure shall be 'closer to another structure than 10 feet. -181-
