This paragraph is great, most ordinances aren't this clear. Does this also include <br /> multi-story condominiums? <br /> E.i. The same comment as D.iii.b above. <br /> E.ii.b. The break in horizontal and vertical elevations should be 2' or 4', not 3'. Too <br /> much wasted building material. <br /> E.iii.b.3. Single garages should be allowed for at least one internal unit. This would <br /> allow the builder some freedom to open up the entry area for the two inside units. <br /> If the builder is forced to have a 28 foot townhome with a 22 foot wide garage, all <br /> units will have a long 6 foot hallway or open tunnel to the front. <br /> F.iii. If the City desires to have most of the streets in a townhome setting public then <br /> • the right of way should be minimal such as to back of curb and back of sidewalk. <br /> This allows the buildings to be grouped closer to the street and open up the back <br /> areas. Maple Grove has a similar procedure. The issue with most townhome <br /> areas is snow removal. Maple Grove agreed to allow the association to remove <br /> the snow from the public streets and give them a credit for the cost of removal. <br /> F.iv. This seems a little harsh with the requirement that all streets be public with a 50 <br /> foot right of way. <br /> F.iv.c. Do you mean a cul-de-sac or a hammer head type turn out? A cul-de-sac would <br /> really take a lot of room. <br /> F.iv.e. Private drives should be 24 feet with no parking. If they are 28 feet they will <br /> encourage parking. There is not enough traffic to warrant 28 feet in width. <br /> H. If you allow detached townhomes then there should be a set of standards for the <br /> use. This type of development is attractive and in demand in many communities. <br /> • <br />
