Development Overview <br />Infrastructure: The neighborhood will be served by public and private streets and public <br />utilities. An extension of Vanderbie will tie in at the northern boundary line through the <br />site and connect to Allen Avenue in the south. Additional private roads and visitor <br />parking will accommodate internal circulation throughout the community. <br />Ponding: The site is currently flat with poor drainage. The site will be graded to drain <br />toward the overhead powerline easement area where ponds will be established and <br />connected to the municipal drainage system. <br />Soil borings indicate organic and clay-like soils so infiltration may not be possible. Ponds <br />will be designed to collect water from the entire development and then slowly release into <br />the municipal system, thereby protecting adjacent and downstream properties. <br />Landscaping: Reforestation will be implemented throughout the site where possible, in <br />accordance with City code. Lennar also proposes to plant wooded buffers to screen <br />adjacent existing residents from vehicle headlights. <br />Developer/Builder: Lennar will act as both developer of the property and builder of the <br />homes. The community will be professionally maintained via an established HOA. <br />Development Features <br />Architecture: Lennar’s design team will carefully plan the color packages of each <br />building to avoid monotony and to ensure a visually appealing streetscape. <br />Existing Gas Line: The site’s northern boundary is encumbered by an existing gas line <br />blanket easement. Discussions of the pipeline resulted in a size reduction of the easement <br />area. The easement will be reduced to a 25’ setback from the center of the pipe. In <br />addition, City code has an additional setback related to pipeline easements. Given there <br />are existing homes within the setback created by City code, the City will match the newly <br />reduced pipeline easement area. <br />Variance: To accommodate the City Council’s request for increased density on the <br />northern portion of the site and create more green space along the southern boundary, <br />Lennar is requesting a variance for the front and rear yard setbacks of the townhomes <br />throughout the site. Due to the placement of the townhomes, not all townhomes will need <br />to utilize the flexibility in the variance and will comply with base zoning standards for <br />the R-2 District. <br />Proposed Homes and Architecture <br />The Liberty Series is a two-story row style townhome with 2-car garage. <br />Liberty Series <br />Units: 72 lots <br />Building Width: 25 feet <br />Bedrooms: 3 bedrooms <br />Bathrooms: 2.5/3 bathrooms <br />Garage: 2-car <br />Square Footage: 1,719 – 1,831 <br />Base Price Range: **$364,990+ <br />The Colonial Manor Series is a two-story back-to-back style townhome with 2-car garage.
