Little Canada Planning Commission 3 may _1933_ Site Plan and CUPS. The proposed site plan meets the size requirements of the Ordinance as follows: Minimum lot area /unit Front setback Side setback Rear setback Requirement Proposed 4,000 sq.ft. /unit 30 ft. 15 ft. No requirement for PUD 5,662 sq.ft. /unit 35 ft. East -15'; West 17' 78 ft. The site plan shows a 25 foot wide curb cut which the applicant plans to reduce to 24 feet in accordance with the Ordinance. Two parking spaces per unit are required which translates into 16 total spaces for the proposed development. Eight garage spaces and eight exterior spaces have been proposed. However, the five parallel spaces along the driveway are only 20 feet long and should be increased to 23 feet. Enlargement of these spaces may necessitate a redesign of the parking area which shouldn't be a problem since the garages can be moved to within 5 feet of the lot line (but should be inside all drainage and utility easements). The applicant plans to build a fenced storage area in the rear yard. These plans, when ready, should be approved by the City Building Official. The two -story structures are located 45 feet apart which amply meets the PUD spacing requirement of no closer than one -half the sum of the two building heights. Grading, Drainage and Utilities. The City Engineer should review and comment on the grading, drainage and utility service to the site. However, it is felt that a portion of the driveway at 20% slope would be uncomfortably steep. This section should be regraded to a maximum of a 15% slope and desirably a 10% slope. The grade of the rear parking area at a 6% slope should not be increased at all. Landscape Plan. As a provision of the CUP, a landscape plan must be. submitted. Plantings have been lightly indicated on the site plan, however, more infor- mation is needed, specifically the location, type (genus and species) and size and spacing of material of all proposed plantings plus an indication of all unbuilt areas, i.e., sod, seed, bituminous, etc. Building Plans. Architectural elevations and floor plans have been submitted (see Exhibits D, E and F, attached). page -l5-
