all shown to be 24 feet wide and meet City requirements. The development is providing 10 parking spaces along the private streets. The development is showing several small nodes of open spaces,- mostly between buildings. The larger open space area will function as a rain garden to assist in stormwater quality. Minor changes need to be made to the drainage, grading, and utility plans as noted in the Staff Review Letter. As part of the Tovvn Center AUAR, a detailed traffic analysis was completed that anticipated the type and size of development shown on the plat. The proposed development is consistent with the traffic modeling system used as part of the AUAR analysis, The new building elevations are somewhat different than the previously approved rowhouse units; both versions are included in the l1Xl7 plan packet. Staff is recommending that some changes be made to the middle units within the building; adding a cantilever to the middle units and making some slight changes to the color placement would improve the overall look of the building, in Staff's opinion. All of the proposed units meet setback and driveway length requirements.
