Flexible site design with narrower road right-of-way widths and reduced setbacks allows <br />Eastside Villas to develop a residential subdivision with single level, life -cycle housing and <br />construct a multi functional greenway corridor and storm water management system. <br />c. The preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as existing <br />vegetation, natural topography and geologic features and the prevention of soil erosion. <br />The wetlands and tree stand will be preserved by containing these areas in an outlot that will be <br />deeded to the City. <br />d. A creative use of land and related physical development which allows a phased and <br />orderly transition of varying land uses in close proximity to each other. <br />Eastside Villas connects to the NorthPointe residential subdivision and provides a contiguous <br />multi functional greenway corridor by integrating the stormwater management system, wetland <br />management and open space areas and trails into one unified system. <br />e. An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby <br />lowering development costs and public investments. <br />Reduced road right-of-way widths and setbacks provide an efficient use of land and lowers <br />development and public investments. <br />f. Promotion of a desirable and creative environment that might be prevented through <br />the strict application of City zoning and subdivision regulations. <br />Strict application of a 60 foot road right-of-way width and 30 foot setback would result in <br />impacts to the wetlands and natural resources. <br />Preliminary Plat <br />Per Section 1001.013, Premature Subdivision: <br />(1) General. Any concept plan, preliminary plat or final plat deemed premature pursuant to the <br />following criteria shall be denied by the City Council. <br />(2) Conditions for establishing a premature subdivision.
