ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 4 Thursday, December 9, 1993 a comprehensive plan change from limited business to high-density residential. He noted that the parcel was 5.88 acres in size upon which Good Value Homes proposes to construct 62 townhome units, creating a net density of 10.6 units per acre. There would be nine total buildings. The Grandview Townhomes proposal would meet or exceed all R3 zoning standards. Falk explained that this project had reduced green space because of a ponding area in the center of the project, and because of the high amount of paved surface. The planning staff recommended that, while townhouse projects are generally recommended by the planning staff, in this case the staff recommends continuing a public hearing and continuing further consideration until the January 12, 1994, meeting. This would allow the applicant additional time to address issues identified by the Public Works Department and other issues which may be identified at the public hearing. Chairperson Wietecki asked if the fire chief had reviewed the development. The staff responded that the Fire Marshal had reviewed the project and found that the 180 foot driveways meet the requirement for maximum length of driveway from the public street. Member Wall asked whether neighborhood meetings had been held. The Assistant Community Development Director, Rick Jopke, explained the meetings he had attended with the neighbors and reported on the concerns of the neighbors regarding traffic, buffers, landscaping, and aesthetics along the Grandview edge. Chairperson Wietecki asked for a comparison of densities of other projects. City Planner Falk stated that the Concordia Project is approximately 8 units per acre and the Calibre Ridge project is 10 units per acre. Member Thomas asked for clarification regarding the amount of surface coverage on the site. City Planner Falk responded that the site has 26 percent of its area in green space, but most of it is used for ponding.
