PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICATION <br />& PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) APPLICATION <br /> <br /> <br />aesthetic of the area, providing enhanced liability privacy for our residents and their <br />neighbors. <br />2. Provision of more adequate, usable, and suitability located open space, recreational <br />amenities, natural resource projection and other public facilities than would otherwise be <br />provided under conventional land development techniques. <br />Response: The proposed plan provides for larger driveways for off-street and guest <br />parking allowing for sidewalks to remain open for our residents to move freely <br />throughout the community. The conscientious layout of the site plan works with the <br />natural setting of the land and the orientation of the buildings gives residents multi - <br />directional views, incorporate ponding, outdoor amenity space, natural landscaping <br />and sidewalks creating a sense of community. <br />3. Coordination of architectural styles and building forms to achieve greater compatibility <br />within the development and surrounding land uses. <br />Response: Creating a housing community that compliments existing and surrounding <br />home style is critical for creating a visually pleasing and cohesive neighborhood. The <br />exterior design of the proposed structures was purposeful so it matched the newly <br />constructed single family neighborhoods to the north and northwest of the proposed <br />project.

The Applicant is also <br />utilizing a single stormwater basin for both Subject Parcels to treat stormwater runoff <br />in an efficient manner and reduce the impact to the existing infrastructure more <br />efficiently. The proposed development is also utilizing grassy swales as much as <br />possible to promote infiltration and reduce the amount of storm water. <br />5. Higher standards of site and building design than would otherwise be provided under <br />conventional land development technique. <br />Response: As previously stated, there are multiple uses for this site that would be <br />considered conventional under the current zoning guidelines, however providing <br />high-end, luxury rental twin and townhomes is a more attractive use for the site, <br />enhances the surrounding neighborhood, provides a housing stock choice not readi ly <br />available in the surrounding area, and adds to value to the community.
