Goff LOCATION: North of Fernwood. at Rose Place (West of Mobile Home Park) A:tION REQUESTED" Approval of Preliminary Plat Special Use Permit for PUD Approval Vacatlon of Rlght-of-Way PLANNING CONSIDIRATIOHS~ 1. Thi. parcel of land 11 at tbe west end of the mobile home park, located vut of Lexington Avenue and south of the Burlington Northern railroad tr.cks. It is a 3.19 acre track and is zoned R-2.. The applicant b requesting approv41 of 23 townhouse unit. on the .ite. The property to the east l' zoned B-3, and of COurse. is now occupied by the mobile home court which bas been there .ince the village was formed. Acce.. to the property it via the extenaion of Fernwood. Rose Place is platted 60 feet wide along the south side of the property. but is not constructed. To the touth there are aingle family homes, and therf. are single family homes to the west across the pond which occupies a portion of the property on the west side. Attached is 4 survey submitted by the applicant Indicated lot d1mensions, the pond, and the Rose Place right-of-way. ' 2. the property was zoned R-2 perhap. 12-14 years ago at which time it was proposed to extend Fernwood with a public street and cul-de-sac near the north central portion of the property. A total of nine lot. would appear to be possible to be platted on the property. The property though approved for development for duplexes did not proceed. There are basically two problems with attempting to plat the land into duplex lot.. One is that the property is not quite wlde enough to make the lots work well inulllUch as the 120 foot diameter required cul-de-.ac takes up a great deal of space near the center of tbe property. Secondly, the lots on the eal.:t side would have back yards oriented toward the mobile home court whi.:~ did not represent an aesthetic asset, particularly in those days when there were far fewer treee on the property. the density vould allOY a total of 24 unlt. on the property in accordance with the R-2 density. Rowever, we suggested to the applicant that one Unl.t be removed near the southwest corner so as to create a more open enVlronment at the entranc! to the site (northeast of the cul-de-sac). 3. One of the advantages of a PUD in this case is that the units can be oriented away from the mohile home court due to the flexibility of the PUD and the handllng of circolatlon and access wlth a private street system. The applicant proposes to construct a cul-de-sac at hlS expense whlch will provide the proper turn-around faclhty for Fernwood Street which now
