River Park/P 04-09 September 20, 2004 Page 4 proposed to the 300 acres to the south. The mam street through this project will be extended into the property to the south when it is developed. This project will also be connected to the development to the southwest, Trout Brook Estates, via an east/west connection that will be provided along the south boundary of this plat. This road will be part of an east/west connection from Twin Lakes Road to Cleveland Street. Staff is recommending that a street connection be made to Sunset Ridge, a 2 \12 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 could be isolated so that cut- through traffic will be limited. The residents of Sunset Ridge have submitted a petition agamst 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. A connection with this project would provide the residents of Sunset Ridge with an alternative exit from their development, should they decide they did not want to risk exiting out on to County Road 13 from Kennedy or Lincoln Streets. Staff feels the connection is important in that it provides connectivity between neighborhoods. This connection allows local traffic to stay on local streets, allows mamtenance 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 mam 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 southwest sections of the plat. The north townhouses are located just south of CR 13 and in the northeast corner, east and west of Cleveland Street. There are 234 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 (146) 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 are also 46 townhouses located in the southwest section of the project. These are the 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.
