4 3-Story Multifamily Buildings: These buildings will be primarily visible from the streets and areas internal to the Limerick Village site. Facades should be varied, and front yard plantings will be required to soften the streetscape. Additional consideration should be given to the proximity of those units to future business park development to the south and methods provided to buffer accordingly. It is possible that the City could require a trail connection to the south or west of the subject property to facilitate connectivity through future developments. 40’ and 45’ Single Family Detached Lots: Smaller lots (40 and 45 foot lot widths) for detached single family homes are proposed in this development than can be found in the City, and will require flexibility to the City Code. With a standard lot, homes face the street with a minimum of a two car garage. With narrower lots, there is not much living area visible from the street to create visual interest. An Example of how these lots can be laid out in terms of building area, setbacks, standard easements, etc., has not been provided. Parkland Dedication: This development, with 710 units, creates the potential for an estimated 1500-2000 new residents. Currently, the developer is proposing a nearly 2-acre park abutting the central stormwater management area. Staff are not supportive of allowing the Park B to be considered a City park due to the challenges noncontiguous parks create for maintenance. Instead, that should remain as a private open space or amenity serving the 3 story apartment buildings. The remaining dedication requirements should be met via cash in lieu of land. The March 12, 2024, staff report summarizes previous discussions on parkland. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT BENEFITS: • A large regional stormwater pond and adjacent park with a looped trail system will provide over 11 acres of contiguous open space in the center of the development. • The development will provide a mix of different housing types and serve as a transition from more intensive commercial uses planned to the south of the site. • The proposed development will connect to, and extend, City utilities at the expense of the Developer. • Trails, sidewalk, and roadway connectivity are proposed consistent with City plans. FEEDBACK DESIRED: • Will the request for flexibility from a City Standard of 50’ to the proposed 40’ and 45’ wide detached single family lots be supported? • Will the park land proposed be suitable in terms of location and area? • What specific concerns might there be for design of the streets or different elements of the project?
