Legacy Townhomes, page 4 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. The developer has submitted an exhibit that shows 21% of the site is being developed as public accessible open space. 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.
