Legacy Townhomes, page 4 make sure appropriate materials and design are implemented. Specifically staff has a desire to further the screening along the freeway to reduce the visibility and noise for the northern most townhome building. Additionally, staff would like to take the spaces that are reclaimed by eliminating the six parking spaces indicated above and create nice landscape /plaza amenities. The guidelines required 10% of the residential site to be developed as public accessible open space. The plans appear to be providing this with the central park element and the large swath of open space adjacent to the wetlands that is accessible via the street on the back side of the townhomes. Staff will be asking the developer to submit a plan that indicates the percentage of land area these amenities and any others that are added make up. Lighting Chapter 4 of the guidelines does not include lighting standards, but the photometric lighting plan submitted with the application is in conformance with the minimum standards of Chapter 3.7 of the guidelines. The lighting proposed for the townhome area is the standard lighting that is being used throughout the Legacy project area. Engineering Due to the submittal of revised engineering, the city's consulting engineer on the Legacy project (Short Elliot Hendrickson) was not able to complete a thorough review with comments. This is one of the main reasons staff recommending a continuation of this item to the May meeting. Final Plat Planned Unit Development - Final Plan applications include a final plat for the site; however, Hartford has not submitted a final plat document that could be reviewed by city staff This is one of the main reasons staff is recommending a continuation of this item.
