Roberts Beiween Albemar1e Street ar�d Rice Street AC7ION REQUES�fEI}: �'.��iravaZ of �rel imi nat��r F� at Rezoni ng from �t-2 and 8--1 to R-6 PLRP�iV � f�G CONS I DE.RATIOf�S : 1. As recomrr�ended by the Planning Cnmmission a� th� last meeting, the applicant has now submitted complete site plans, landscape ��ans, drainage plans, pre�iminary townhouse floor plan, and exterior elevations. 2. The revised site plan, prepared by Frank Reese (architect) has adjusted the parking layout s�o as to provide two parkinc� spaces per unit. The parking now consisis of one 5pace in the garage for each unit plus an additionai space on the exterior, in a�dit�on to a space in �'ront of each garac�e unit. This conforms with the ordinance requ�rement of two parking ��aces per unit, one of which must be enclosed. 3. A r�ore complete landscaping plan has now been submitted including the proposed land�caping for �he interior cour� area beiween the structures. 4. The engineering staff has crnnpleted their review of the proposed drainage plan and now find it to their satisfaction. 5. In reviewing the bu�lding plans for the units themselves, we have noted to the applicant, that the floor plan for the first floor, living room, d�ning area, and kitchen, could be much improved by slight revision. !=le have discussed this with the applicant (and the owners afi the project� who have indicated their intent to consider this change. T�he prablem r�ith the R�an is that access to the kitc�en and dining area is possible only via a diagonal route through the living r�om. Transposing these functions from one side af the unit to the other would aZlo�rr for a more efficient and useful arrangement for these three #'uncti ons . frle are meeti ng a�i th ihe appl i car�t again next Wednesday (the day o� the Planning Cammissian meeting) to re�iew these suggestions on the floor layou�. We have a�so received capies of a prapased carporatior�, by-laws, and restrictions ap�licable to the home- owners' association which would cantrol the common areas and maintenance. 1Je have not completed a review of these docu►nents, hav�ng received them today (9-28-77}. If we have commenis or suqgest�ons regarding �he resiriciions, we wil1 comment on these points at the Plann�ng Commission mee�ing.
