the project area 7.3 Since the 2009 approval, AEON has hired an architect to design the new complex, where it was discovered that a larger footprint was necessary to achieve the 50-units desired/funded. The original plan included a slight jog in the footprint in order to fit on to the lot. However,, having acquired the adjacent triangular parcel and discovering that the initial footprint was too small, AEON has elected to design the building in a rectangular footprint, which increases its size slightly towards the north property line. A rectangular design is also more cost effective to construct than one with angles and jogs. 7.4 The approved PUD Agreement established setbacks based on where the proposed building would lie with respect to property lines. The proposal to amend the approved PUD of June 8,, 2009 is centered on three components.- AMENDING the PUD Agreement to incorporate the triangle of land directly adjacent (north and west) of Sienna Green and creating new standard specific to the new rental apartment; VACATING a 12 foot wide utility and drainage easement that borders the triangle and a component of the existing Lot 2; and PLATTING the existing Lot 2 and the triangle into a new Lot I Sienna Green Second Addition — this will occur in May. 7.5 The Planning Division has reviewed the proposed building modifications for potential impacts to adjacent properties, and has concluded that the impact of extending the building to the northwest nearer the side property line would be minimal. The previously required 4O foot setback from the northwest property line was solely based on the proposed plan at that time. The current zoning ordinance requires a 10 foot side yard setback in the HIT. - I district and the proposal has a 15 foot setback with the building angling due to the different lot configurations for the AEON site to Roseville Village. 7.6 Another slight modification includes changes to the screening along the north property line. The original plan had very sparse plantings, but the new proposal includes a beefed- up screen of this area. AEON has been working with Rosewood Village Condos to address their concerns regarding the building shifting closer to the property line and their residences. 8.0 STAFF COMMENTS.
