Hi Mark, After doing a thorough review of the Centerville Downtown Master Plan, we have some questions about how Staff, Planning Commission and City Council will use this plan to guide the review and approval of Block 7. As you know we have been working on site plan layout and density but as we review the Master Plan, we are concerned about how the plan will guide approvals. Specifically: The Master Plan discusses Mixed-Use Corridors and Downtown Neighborhood. Since our proposal is not mixed use, we expect to fall within the Downtown Neighborhood guidelines. The Downtown Neighborhood guidelines have some specifics that we are not meeting and some that cause some concern. Items not meeting in the Downtown Neighborhood per Master Plan document (starting on page 26): Min SF of 1,250 square feet per dwelling unit. Minimum One Parking space per bedroom Items that cause concern: Build-to line shall be no more than 5' from ROW. Ground floor stoops may extend to 8' from sidewalk. Setbacks from built-to line for recesses shall not comprise more than 40% of facade. Recommended Design for CSAH 21 Centerville Rd: 80' ROW including 8' parallel parking, 2' boulevard, 12' pedestrian zone to building face (note, in the most current site plan options, Godden has drawn the street section and boulevard to reflect the Downtown Centerville Master Plan (pages 8 & 13) - however, this does not match the road that exists to date, nor does it match the Streetscape Concept 2/16/21 (attached) which informed the RFP. Continuous height rooflines should not dominate street frontage Vinyl Siding is not allowed Mostly Brick (minimum of 50% of non-glaze wall) Material changes: return 8' minimum at side walls The Downtown Master Plan (page 16) guides integration with regional stormwater collection areas that will include a pond at the West end of Sorel Street as indicated in this diagram (which shows the pond to be located within the Western half of our subject site). Whereas the RFP and basis for our proposal indicates the entire parcel can be developed at 85% impervious surface, without on-site treatment. 1
