In review of the November site plan, City <br />staff was concerned with the tight site design with regard to no provision of a cul-de-sac, <br />lack of sufficient off street parking, minimal setbacks between buildings and no provision <br />of usable open space on the site. City staff recommended the following site plan revisions: <br />1. Reduce the density of the site development by eliminating 4-6 units. <br />2. Provide the required cul-de-sac. <br />3. Provide necessary off-street parking. <br />4. Increase usable open space throughout the site. <br />Upon meeting with City staff in November to discuss the recommended plan revision, the <br />applicant requested the Planning Commission continue its public hearing on this <br />application for one month. The applicant has reevaluated this site plan to address a <br />number of City staff issues and has again submitted a revised site plan. In the following <br />pages of this report we have outlined City staff's current review. Prior to finalizing this <br />report we met with the applicant to discuss further site plan changes and to come to some <br />agreement on an acceptable site design. <br />3 <br />
