JAN -05 -2000 14:39 Highland Meadows Page 4 • Preliminary Plat ID NAC 612 595 9837 P.05/08 The preliminary plat consists of 55 single- family lots and 52 quadraminium lots plus common space lots and Outlot E. Through a coving design, all of the lots meet the minimum width requirement. The City previously determined that lot width flexibility would be allowed through PDO with adjusted setbacks. The setbacks are identified on the preliminary plat. A plan with clearly identified front yard setbacks with dedicated drainage and utility easements will be provided to the building inspector following approval of the final plat. Townhomes The townhome (R -3 District) portion of the plat includes 52 units plus common space on 7.68 acres. This translates to approximately 6,127 square feet of land area per unit. The ordinance requires 5,445 square feet. All multi family development areas are subject to site plan review criteria as outlined in the ordinance. In addition to what has been submitted, site plan review includes submittal of detailed building plans (interior and exterior), landscaping plans for the development area, and the identification of any other site improvements. Because of the lack of detail on the townhome area we recommend that the preliminary plat approval include a conceptual approval of the townhome use but that a more detailed site plan review process follow with the final development plan required under the PDO process which will be reviewed by the Planning Commission and the City Council. Setbacks Part of the coving design philosophy proposed under the PDO is to vary front yard setbacks to provide a streetscape that creates a visual appearance of greater open spaces. All of the lots meet the 80' lot width requirement when measured at the identified setback. All of the lots meet or exceed the minimum front yard setback. The setbacks proposed are part of the PDO and will be enforced on the lots as identified. Sale documents and final PDO must specifically identify the required setbacks for individual lots to insure proper lot widths. The ordinance requires minimum setbacks as follows: R -1 District R -3 District Front Yard 30 feet 30 feet Side Yard- interior 10 feet 10 feet • Side Yard - corner 30 feet 30 feet Rear Yard 30 feet 30 feet
