The vacant site presents an excellent opportunity to fill in the periphery of the existing neighborhood with a low- <br />density townhome development. The site is adjacent to Highway 10 and the project provides a buffer to the existing <br />neighborhood from the highway. Landscaping provided with the development will help blend the site into the existing <br />neighborhood and provide a buffer to adjacent uses. <br />The site plan shows compliance with the Land Development Regulations. The building and drive aisles comply with <br />the required setbacks. Sixteen parking stalls have been provided, which exceeds the 10 parking stalls are required <br />by the Zoning Ordinance. Each townhome unit will have an enclosed two-car garage and two parking spaces on the <br />driveway. The number of parking stalls provided will accommodate the townhome residents and visitors. Twenty-five <br />trees are required for this development; as allowed by Section 30-936, the plans provide a combination of 13 trees <br />and 16,032 square feet of native grasses and wildflowers to offset the remaining 12 required trees. A stormwater <br />pond is located on the west side of the site to capture stormwater runoff from the site. <br />The townhomes will have vinyl siding and trim with brick wainscoting along both entrance facades. Roofing will be <br />shingled. Figures 1-3 are included in the "Architectural Examples" section of this narrative to demonstrate the <br />materials and colors from a similar townhome project by the same developer. No signage or outdoor storage is <br />proposed with this development. <br />The high-quality residential townhome units will improve the quality and value of the vacant site and provide new <br />housing opportunities in the City. <br />�r ������������1 ��;�����I�� <br />The buildings in the photos below are identical to the building plans for the townhomes.
