19 location issues are dealt with. Dunwell summarized the applicants history on the site. Dunwell indicated that the proposal is an attempt to cleanup the whole piece to provide use and zoning, which makes sense. Dunwell indicated that each unit would have individual entrance and a private court yard area. Each unit would have a basement. Dunwell indicated that a fence around the private courtyards would be tied in architecturally to the buildings. Dunwell indicated that the design of the building with horizontal siding and hipped roofs would tie the project into the character of the surrounding residential area. Dunwell indicated that they would relocate the garage of the existing duplex to provide access into the site. They indicated that the garage would be provided along the north property line to screen the new units from the apartments to the north, and that there would be an additional parking space in front of each one of the garage units. Dunwell pointed out that there design with garages and buildings around the exterior along with landscaped areas provides a good screening of the asphalt areas in the interior, which reduces the impact of the project on the surrounding neighborhood. Dunwell indicated that they met with the previous fire marshall, and that they had worked out the size of the turn around at the end of the parking area as well as emergency vehicle access from MacDonalds, looping the water line and providing a hydrant. Dunwell indicated that they would be cleaning up property lines and zoning lines in with the new plant. Dunwell indicated that they had met with the neighborhood, and their concerns related principally to traffic increase in their neighborhood. Dunwell pointed out that there would be hardly any increase in the neighborhood and that most of the traffic would leave the site and go directly to County Road B and not through the residential neighborhood. Dunwell indicated that if there has to be development on the site, that this is a good development, and that they have compatible screening. Johnson indicated that she was happy to see the development of housing units. DeBenedet asked if the duplex would be losing their garage, and how their parking requirements would be met. Janisch indicated that he believed that the garage would be relocated rather than eliminated. Dunwell confirmed that the garage would be relocated. DeBenedet questioned what was the distance to the turnaround in the parking area. Dunwell indicated that is was about 180 feet. Maschka inquired what the building foot print would be. Dunwell indicated that the units would have a 20 x 20 footprint which would make the overall building 40ft. x 40ft.
