Townhome District Requirements Lot Area The ordinance does not stipulate minimum lot sizes for town home units, only that the lot must be of sufficient size to accommodate the dwelling proposed lot sizes are 28'X 63' and 33'X 63'. The units as proposed are 27' 9 1/4"X 52' 4". The lot, therefore,is adequate to provide space for the structure. Setbacks The building setbacks require a set-back of 30' at the edge of the development parcel with an additional 20' of set-back for areas bordering major collector or arterial streets,in this case County Road 12. Along County Road 12, the building setback is approximately 63' at its closest point. Along the public street, the buildings meet the 30 foot setback requirement. A 30 foot setback requirement is also required for the front of the building. The buildings meet the setback requirement from the street. Density The calculated density for the proposed town home units is 5.74 lots. This net density does • not include the usable open space,which is located in Block 2 in the eastern area of the proposed town home area. The open space to be provided should equal 5% of the development area; 1.15 acres. The open space provided equals 1.55 acres. Building Standards Unit Sizes The unit width requirements are 28' of width for end units or 24' for internal units on buildings containing more than four units. The proposed unit widths are approximately 27' for all units,including end and interior units. Garage Sizes The garage widths are proposed at 22 feet with 16-foot wide garage doors. There is no variety in garage door styles or sizes. Vertical and Horizontal Façade Changes The ordinance requires breaks in the horizontal and vertical surfaces of at least 32 inches every two units. There is, along the rear of the buildings, a break in the vertical facade by a 2 foot recess between the interior and end units. The submitted elevations provide for vertical • elevation breaks. Decks and/or porches are proposed on the rear of all units.
