Brutger Companies, Case No. 1877 Page 2 but with group maintenance under an association arrangement similar to townhouses. One way to look at them is as detached townhouses, with the luxury of having individual side yards and rear yards to each unit. These units are placed contiguous to the single-family homes on the east so as to make a transition from single-family homes to higher density multi -family housing proposed to the west and southwest. We understand that the neighbors in the area are opposed to this form of housing and oppose the development in general. There seems to be a general negative attitude toward multi -family housing units and concern regarding the traffic that may result. 4. The second form of housing, known as cluster homes, is in the form of three structures containing ten units each. Each of these units has an interior accessible garage served by combined driveways between the units. These structures would face a new public street proposed to be constructed from County Road B-2 to Dale Street through the interior of the site. This street would line up approximately with Lovel Avenue to the west. 5. The Third form of housing is built above that of three 3 story apartment units a one story basement garage with elevators. These units, consisting of 90 one bedroom units, 120 two three bedroom units, are more that has been bedroom units, and 36 typical of the apartment type housing built in the City garage spaces under the three over the years. There would be 286 structures which house units each. Thus, there is more proposed basement a total of 246 than one parking space per unit in the garages. One parking space per unit is required by Ordinance. Additional surface parking provides 216 spaces making a total of 492 spaces, thus exceeding the total parking required for the 246 units (2 spaces per unit). 6. The Staff has met with the applicants at a series of meetings with the intent of assisting them in preparing a design. that can be most acceptable from the standpoint of contiguous land uses, circulation, and compatibility with existing development. The new public street system (extension of Lovel Avenue) is designed to carry the traffic to and from Dale Street, thereby diverting traffic from the single-family homes on County Road B-2. It is likely that most of this traffic would orient to Trunk Highway 36. Thus, it was felt important to provide this means of access as directly to Dale Street as possible. In similar fashion, an access to Minnesota Street is proposed. This also allows for one way traffic movement west to Dale Street. This portion of Minnesota Avenue is, of course, one way. Therefore, most of the incoming traffic would come via Dale Street and Lovel Avenue. 7. The cul-de-sac serving the single-family homes (the IT' lots) would orient to County Road B-2. This will, of course, increase traffic along County Road B-2, though not to any significant extent. It would, however, be physically possible to connect this cul-de-sac to the new extension of Lovel Street, thereby reducing the Impact on the County Road B-2 traffic condition.
