Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; Prime Builders has made application for a Development Review/Residential PUD for their proposed 22 unit townhome project at 2856 Highway 10. Staff has met with the applicant on a number of occasions to discuss the project and feels that the submitted plan is workable. The following is a list of the issues which were discussed by Staff and the applicant prior to the submittal of the request. 1) Lot Area, Setbacks, Frontage, etc . - Staff felt it was best for the applicant to approach the development from a PUD perspective rather than attempt to meet all tenets of the Municipal Code. The PUD classification allows the applicant to "massage" the requirements of the Code to facilitate development of the property. The primary reason for taking the PUD route was that the property involved in the project is very long and narrow which makes setback requirements somewhat difficult to meet. 2) Emergency Egress - Staff contacted the Fire and Police Chiefs' to get their input on the access and circulation being provided on the property. Both agreed that the property needed a second point of access from the rear of the site. Based on this, the applicant approached the Knollwood Green Townhome Association (immediately to the West of the subject property) and obtained verbal permission to connect an emergency drive to their existing secondary drive. Staff would ask that the Commission, when considering action on this request, require that a written agreement be entered into between the applicant and Knollwood Green. -117 Paul Harrington, Communiti Development Coordinator RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Council adopt Resolution No. 4F,R7 approving- the Development Review for the townhome project and, waive the reading and formally introduce Ordinance No. 543 which would rezone the property upon which the development will take place from R-4, High Density Residential to PUD, Planned Unit Development.
