The standards require that a variety of housing types is provided within the residential area, for the entire townhome development the applicant is proposing a seven -plex townhome with two distinct facade treatments; and in the future the portion of the site adjacent to the traffic circle will provide a distinctly different type of building likely to include underground parking. Building Massing and Placement The grading plan shows that the developer has minimized grade changes to limit the use of retaining walls as much as possible. For the majority of the buildings all grade changes will be done with sloping. All retaining walls used are below the five foot requirement. The buildings measure no greater than 39 feet in height from any grade level and entries for each unit are accessible to either open space or public street. The buildings are sited 15 feet from right of ways with patio /yard areas in front of each unit to maintain the street presence and create the transition zone between private spaces of the homes and the public spaces. The parking for each unit is provided with depressed grade parking on the first floor rear of each building unit •th landscaping in between each garage and for some driveways for additional parking. The setbacks for this type of product are as follows: Table 7. Residence and Garage Setbacks (measured from lot line unless otherwise noted) NOTES: [1] Projections. Bay windows, fireplace elements, and balconies may extend into the front setback up to four feet, for a width not more than 10 feet. The maximum extension of a projection into a side yard is 3 feet. [2] Depressed Parking. Where a high water table prevents depressed parking, at -grade structured parking must be placed at the rear of the structure with residential uses lining the front facade to finished grade.
