CASE <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL OF SUNFISH POND; <br />CASE OF G.M. HOMES <br /> By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Mr. John Lamoureux of G.M. Homes has applied for site plan approval for a townhouse <br />development to be located at the northeast intersection of County Roads #57 and #116. The <br />following items are enclosed for your review: <br /> <br />a) Site location map <br />b) Site plan <br />c) City Staff Review Letter dated February 27, 1997 <br />d) Planning Commission meeting minutes dated January 7, 1997 <br />e) Memo from City Attorney Goodrich dated February 27, 1997 <br />f) Draft Planning Commission meeting minutes of 3/4/97 <br />g) Draft Park & Recreation Commission meeting minutes of 3/13/97 <br />h) Proposed Development Permit <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />Site plans are not required to be subjected to public hearings. However, area residents are <br />cognizant of the proposed development because of the public hearing notice distributed relating <br />to the request for preliminary plat approval. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The property is zoned Multiple Residential (MR) for which up to 15 units per acre is permitted. <br />The property is eligible for 135 units and the developer is proposing 81. The multifamily units <br />are two story, 2 and 3 bedroom townhomes with unfinished basements. Each unit has a 2-car <br />garage. The structures meet the minimum overall square footage requirement but are deficient of <br />the first floor minimums. However, the upper level of the units does meet the first floor <br />minimum and because they substantially exceed the overall square footage minimum, staff is <br />recommending approval of the nits as proposed. The exterior finish on the structures is <br />maintenance free vinyl siding and windows with asphalt single roofs. The structures generously <br />exceed minimum setback requirements. All of the structures are in compliance with the lot <br />coverage restrictions. <br /> <br />The streets will be developed as private roads and the City Engineer has recommended a <br />minimum pavement width of 24 feet and that the proposed surmountable concrete curb be <br />replaced with B type. City Code requires 182 off-street parking spaces and 201 are proposed. <br /> <br /> <br />
