The Greenhouse Village Properties proposal includes underground parking for the senior cooperative and individual garages for the town homes. Reduced on-site parking demand is anticipated with the senior cooperative (1.5 spaces per unit), while the town homes will share parking to reduce impervious coverage and improve the character of the development. � Irnpacts on adjoiningsingle farnily a�eas should be lirnited by inc�eased side ya�d setbacks and landscaping; f�ont and �ea� sepa�ation by st�eets, cornrne�cial o� indust�ial developrnent; o� pa�ks and open space. Setbacks are consistent with similar developments and attempt to provide design flexibility, adequate separation from adjacent residential and adequate space for landscape screening and enhancement where necessary and appropriate. The senior cooperative structure is designed and placed on the parcel in such a manner to have a limiting impact of the adjacent residential to the north across Dionne Street and the single family homes to the east. Likewise the proposed town homes have been placed 20 feet from the east property line, where 5 to 10 feet is common on side yards. � Highe� density developrnent should be �equi�ed to include such irnp�overnents as rnason�y exte�io�, highe� window and wall insulation packages, unde�g�ound pa�king, rno�e usable open space than no�rnally �equi�ed, po�ches, landscaping, unde�g�ound pa�king, and arnenities packages within each unit. The Greenhouse Village Properties design (by award winning senior building architect ESG) will include high quality materials on both the senior cooperative and the town homes. Specifically, the town homes will be a"craftsman" design, with stone and durable cement board lap and shake siding. Asphalt shingles are proposed for roofing and the soffit and fascia will be protected by a maintenance free material. The town homes are to be designed and finished to compliment the senior cooperative. The cooperative will include stone, durable cement fiber board lap siding, shakes and trim, aluminum or vinyl windows and doors. Decks will be provided for a number of the units, but no all units. h� Building design standa�ds should be used which cont�ibute to neighbo�hood openness, cornrnunication, and inte�action. The Greenhouse Village Properties proposal is designed to provide its residents internal openness, communication and interaction, while also inviting interaction and communication with the neighboring residential properties. i� Design and pe�fo�rnance standa�ds should p�ovide adequate height and setback cornbinationsfo� situations whe�e talle� multi family units a�e p�oposed as infill p�ojects adjacent to single farnily a�eas. Such infill should be lirnited to rnediurn density (o� lowe�) p�ojects. PF3548_RCA FinalDevelopment_013105.doc Page 10 of l5
