7.2 required parking for the proposed development will consist of a two spaces for each dwelling unit, of which Y,2 will be required to be covered. In the case of the United Properties proposal, each single family home and tow nhome will have two covered spaces. Single family sites will have additional parking in driveways. There are also four spaces proposed on the street for guest and park -user parking. The townhorne site will also have addition on- street parking. The senior cooperative will provide each resident one underground parking space and the parking lot contains 45 parking spaces. Senior housing typically requires less parking (I covered space) than normal apartment living. The City Planner has determined that on -site and street parking is adequate to meet the needs of the proposed redevelopment. 7.3 Site lighting could be an issue for the adjacent property owners and the neighborhood. The oniLmunity Development Department has not reviewed the site lighting plan and will work with the Developer on an appropriate style and layout. The developer is responsible for, working with Xcel Energy, installing decorative residential street lighting on the public streets within the development site. 7.4 The placement of mechanical equipment can create visual and noise issues. Given the proposal it is assumed that air conditioning units for both the single family Moines and townhomes will be placed on the ground. All units for the single family homes must be placed on the north side of the home and screened from view. Units for the townhomes must be placed on the west side of the units and screened from view. In the case of the senior cooperative, it is assumed that heating} cooling, and ventilating equipment and air conditioning units need to be affixed as wall units to the building facade, placed on the ground, or placed within roof cavities. Those units that are ground units should be centrally placed in the courtyard and screened from view, Should an emergency generator be contemplated for the senior housing building, the plans must indicate the proposed location and the generator must meet all applicable State decibel levels. 7.5 The City has adequate sanitary sewer, storm water} and water main in place to support the development project. The Public works Department and the Rice Creep watershed, prior to Final Development Plan consideration, must review and approve all of these plans. 8.0 RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS: S. l The design of Applewood Pointe should be compatible with the general context and human scale of the neighborhood for both architecture design and building materials. App 1 ewood Pointe incorporates a hip roof to lower overall height and has added other architectural elements to further enhance each structure and reduce the visual mass of the building. This could include different sets of windows, large expanses of similar facade materials, contextually matching brick, and dormers. Single family homes should take on the characteristics of a 1950's home. A similar exterior architectural treatment can be incorporated into the design of the row townhomes. 8.2 The Public Works Department is currently reviewing the grading, drainage, and utility plans proposed with the General Concept Plan submittal, All plans, including the location of fire hydrants and utility services connections, require the approval of the Public works Department.
