JUN -23-1995 11:30 NAC 612 595 9837 P.10 As shown above, Phase 1 of the proposed development would support a total of 131 townhome units. Phase 2 development, on the other hand, would support a total of 136 units. To accommodate the 139 units being proposed as part of Phase 2, the residential acreage must be expanded by approximately .3 acres. In discussion with the applicant, this additional residential land area may be obtained by reducing the size of the proposed commercial site float 1.7 to 1.4 acres, through shifting the mad slightly to the west. According to Mr. Toni Hovey, a DNR Hydrologist, State shoreland standards applicable to the subject property allow a maximum of 115 units upon the subject cite. The proposed dwelling unit distribution (via tiers) on the site for Phase I has been found to satisfy State Shoreland Ordinance requirements. Building Elevations. The applicant has submitted building elevations that illustrate the building appearance and height. The taller units are the 12 unit townhomes which have a height of 32 feet. These units comply with the R-4 height standards and bring the site plan into conformance with the setback requirements between buildings. Setbacks. In previous review, concern was cited over interior site setbacks where the majority of structures and parking auras failed to meet minimum requires 30 foot setbacks from the intetn.car street. While all proposed structures upon the revised plan have been found to meet required setback requirements, off-street parking area setbacks remain in non-compliance. In some cases, off-street parking areas are shown to abut the proposed street easement. To accommodate the proposed parking area setbacks, the processing of a variance will be necessary. It is the opinion of staff that the front yard setbacks for off -stmt parking areas should not be less than five feet. The applicant has indicated that the guest parking will be shifted to comply with the five foot minimum setback. Landscaping. As required by Ordinance, a landscape plan has been submitted for review. As shown on Exhibit D. landscaping upon the site is to be focused along Lake Drive and near the site's off-street parking areas. While the landscape plan does identify possible planting types and site locations, an additional level of detail must be provided. Rather than indicate possible planting types, the plan should specifically indicate the species of planting and its size. To fully address this issue, the developer must submit the preparation of typical landscaping details applicable to areas bordering structures, off-street parking areas and along Lake Drive. Parking. As a condition of development approval, parallel parking along proposed 28 foot wide driveways shall be pioln`bited. Such prohibition relates to the desire to retain a minimum 24 foot drive width necessary to accommodate two-way vehicular traffic movement. 9
