13. Staff approval of a landscape plan with additional screening along the southern lot line to buffer the commercial use. Recommend,by motion, approval of the Preliminary Plat of Tall Pines Third Addition P.U.D 1. Council approval of the update to Conditional Use Permit (CU 21-08). Background/Discussion Earlier this year,the Planning Commission reviewed a PUD and Preliminary Plat for the project to be known as Tall Pines Third Addition. That project was approved by Council and the applicant was seeking to complete the conditions of approval. During that process, some challenges in the design were identified and the applicant is now looking to receive approval of a new design for the same site,which now looks very similar to the second addition,located immediately north of the subject site. The applicant,Roger Derrick with the Tall Pines 2,LLC,is proposing to develop 2.5 acres along Line Ave with 14 residential townhomes. As noted above,the project will be similar to the previous two Tall Pines subdivisions, also developed by Roger Derrick, south along 183Td Circle, and immediately to the north of this site. The property is currently zoned Business Park (BP), and a zone change to support the proposed Planned Unit Development was reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by the City Council earlier this year. Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for Mixed-Residential Uses, supporting the proposed residential townhome subdivision.

The street design meets townhome standards for a private drive,but the developer must verify the fire department access. There is an existing wetland in the center of the project area. The applicant submitted an application to the city,which includes reviews from the state,to fill the wetland. Approval of that permit is included as a condition of approval for this project. The existing drainage pond east of the site will be utilized for stormwater management. City ordinances also require a 45-foot minimum setback for structures around wet stormwater ponds to facilitate water quality best management practices. Engineering and Utilities Properties are graded to direct runoff to the private streets and the back property lines. A system of catch basins collect the water and convey to the stormwater pond on the east end of the project area. Stormwater collected in the streets is directed to the proposed stormwater pond. All homes will be served by city sewer and water. Landscaping The updated proposal does not include a landscape plan, but staff review and approval of the plan is required. In addition to the standard landscaping requirements outlined in the ordinance, staff
