River Park/P 04-09 August 10,2004 Page 4 A connection is being proposed to Sunset Ridge, a 2 1/2 lot subdivision, located to the west of this project. There was right-of-way provided to the east boundary of Sunset Ridge as part of that plat's approval in 1988 with the intention of future connection with this project. The connection to Sunset Ridge is isolated so that cut-through traffic will be limited. The residents of Sunset Ridge have submitted a petition against making the connection. They are concerned about increased traffic through their neighborhood and the visibility along County Road 13 from the Lincoln and Kennedy Street intersections. Staff feels the connection is important in that it provides connectivity between neighborhoods. This connection allows local traffic to stay on local streets, allows maintenance and service vehicles to get from one neighborhood to another without going out on to an arterial street, and provides access between the two neighborhoods for emergency vehicles. The project includes a mix of private and public streets. The townhouses will front on private streets and the single family detached units will have access from public streets. The public streets,with the exception of the main corridor,will be 28 feet wide with parking on one side of the street. The main street will be 32 feet wide and parking will be possible on both sides of the street. There will be one way traffic flow around the traffic circle with no on - street parking. The private streets are proposed to be 24 feet wide with no parking. Lot Layout Townhouse The townhouse components of this project are located in the north and south sections of the plat. The north townhouses are located just south of CR 13 and in the northwest corner, east of Cleveland Street. There are 168 townhouses proposed in this area. They will be a mix of row style and back-to-back style townhomes with access from private streets. Most of the units (110) are back-to-back style. The units are setback a minimum of 20 feet from the street and there is a minimum of 20 feet between the units. Assuming a 2 car garage for each unit and room for two cars in the driveway, there are 4 off street parking spaces with each unit. There is also a total of 36 off street parking spaces provided in various locations. There are also 158 townhouses located in the south section of the project. These are the same design as those located to the north. Most of these are row style, 46 are back-to-back style and 112 are row style. The units are setback a minimum of 20 feet from the street and there is a minimum of 20 feet between the units. Four off street parking spaces will be provided with each unit. There is a total of 60 off street parking spaces provided in various locations. No elevations have been provided for review.
