Cor'1MENTS . 1. When the General Plan for Phase I was approved, the entire property was final platted. The plat subdivided the townhouse area into lots which conformed to the Concept Plan arrangement of townhouse units. The proposed buildings on Lots 9, 10, and 11 of Block 1 do not conform to established lot lines. Replatting of the lots will be necessary, not only to meet Ordinance setback requirements but, more importantly, to create conveyable lots. The applicant must submit a preliminary plat identifying the proposed lot line adjustments or re-subdivision before approval can be granted. 2. The four southernmost buildings are substantially the same as depicted on the Concept Plan. The three buildings originally proposed on Lots 9, 10, and 11 have been consolidated into two, resulting in structures which are significantly longer. The cluster of three smaller buildings proposed by the Concept Plan is considered superior to the two larger structures for reasons of appearance and marketability. Redesign of the north cluster is recommended. 3. A double garage plus two exterior spaces in the driveway are proposed for each unit. Although this exceeds the Ordinance requirement, it still does not adequately provide for off-street guest parking. Nodes of guest park- ing should be provided for each building cluster at a ratio of approxi- mately 1/2 space per dwelling unit as proposed by the original Concept . Pl an. 4. The Concept Plan approval stated that the townhomes shall have wood or metal house siding with brick trim. The brick trim was specified to assure compatibility with the adjacent apartment building. The proposed units will have aluminum siding with face brick trim at the base of the building. 5. When the Phase I development was approved, a grading plan was submitted for the entire site. That grading plan, based on the townhome arrange- ment of the Concept Plan, proposed terracing the site to create various levels for townhouse building sites. Although the slopes on much of the site limit the potential for berming, creation of undulating earth berms along Brueberry Lane, Parkshore Drive, and Old Highway 10 is recommended to add interest to the streets cape and to provide privacy for adjacent un its. 6. At this writing, no landscaping and lighting plan has been submitted. Those items must be submitted prior to approval. CONCLUSIONS 1. The proposed use, density, and general distribution of townhouse units conforms to the previously approved PUD Concept Plan. . Case No. 87-26 Page 2 July 23, 1987 illCb
