• • Century Farm North Page 6 of 11 • Anticipated market demand for the airpark lots. The applicant has indicated that if demand for the airpark lots does not exist, they would likely be converted to "traditional" single family lots. Such change would require the processing of a PDO amendment. • The size of the hangers appears equal to the size of the homes they are to serve. As a condition of PUD approval, specific hanger designs should be submitted subject to City approval. • The direct visual (and audible) exposure of both hangers and the taxiway to Century Trail (in the southeast corner of the plat). While this has been addressed to some extent via landscaping, it is suggested that a berming along the street segment be provided as well. Townhome Issues Architecture. As a PDO, the City is afforded an opportunity to provide impose conditions related to the appearance of the townhomes. While specific townhome building elevations have not been submitted, the plan drawings illustrate a "garage forward" design. Recognizing this and to avoid visual monotony, creative building design is considered very important. As a condition of PDO approval, specific townhome building elevations should be submitted subject to City approval. Parking. According to the Ordinance, townhomes are required to provide at least two and one -half rent -free spaces per unit. The Ordinance further states that for projects involving eight or more units, the City may require additional clustered guest parking. While the "per unit" parking requirement has been satisfied, it should be noted that the proposed private street widths (16to 18 feet) prohibit on- street parking. Therefore, as a condition of PDO approval, the townhome area in the northeast corner of the site should be modified to incorporate specific visitor parking areas. Homeowners Association. According to the applicant, the project will be subject to the bylaws of three homeowner's associations. From the City's perspective, such bylaws should address issues associated with open space use and private street maintenance. As a condition of PDO approval, all homeowner association by -laws should be subject to review and approval by the City Attorney. Exceptions. As shown on the submitted development plans, a number of property exceptions exist west of the subject property along Sunset Road. In considering the proposed development, an assurance should be made that, to the extent possible, opportunities for future subdivision are provided. This is particularly relevant in that Sunset Road is a designated collector street and direct single family lot access to such streets are to be discouraged.
