<br />Heritage Maples <br />January 10, 2006 <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />A conditional use permit is required for the proposed PUD. As part of the CUP process a <br />review of the townhouse elevations is required. The exterior of the units are a mix of brick, <br />stucco, vinyl lap and shake siding. The elevations are approved as part of the CUP. For <br />comparison, it appears that the units comply with the R3 design standards. <br /> <br />Lots <br /> <br />All of the units have a minimum 20 foot setback from the wetland. All but three of the units <br />are setback 30 from the public right-of-ways. Along the service road, one unit is setback 14.6 <br />feet and two are setback 24 feet. The units are setback 22 feet from the edge of the private <br />feet street. For comparison, 30 feet is the minimum setback requirement from private streets <br />and public right-of-ways in the R3 district. The units in the center of the project are very <br />close together. Along the front of the units there is about 10 feet between units. The net <br />density of the project, lot area minus wedand, is 4.32 units/acre. <br /> <br />Streets/Parking <br /> <br />A service road is proposed along Highway 10 from Raven Lane in Big Lake Township to the <br />east boundary of this plat. The right of way for the service road is 60 feet. Yankton Street is <br />proposed to be extended as a public street from the north boundary of West Oaks to <br />intersect with the proposed service road. There is a private loop street through the center of <br />the site; 48 units will have access from this road, four units will have access from Yankton <br />Street. Sidewalks are provided along all of the streets. <br /> <br />Four off street parking spaces are proposed for each unit, two in the garage and two in the <br />driveway. The private street is 28 feet wide; this is wide enough to allow on street parking on <br />one side of the street. No additional off street spaces are proposed. Yankton Street will be <br />32 feet wide, which will allow parking on both sides of the street. <br /> <br />Landscaping <br /> <br />The treeS in the southwest comer of the site will be removed as a result of this plan. These <br />trees are the only trees on the site. The area was listed on the NRI with a qualitative rank of <br />C. This area is a remnant piece of the original wooded area that is now the West Oaks <br />development. <br /> <br />The proposed landscape plan includes 70 overs tory trees and 87 evergreen trees. The <br />landscaping requirement for subdivisions is two trees per lot, one boulevard tree and one <br />front yard tree. The landscape plan includes 70 front boulevard/front yard trees; based on <br />the subdivision ordinance 104 boulevard/ front yard trees are required. Thirty (30) additional <br />streets trees should be planted along the service road. Eighty-seven evergreen trees are <br />proposed to provide screening within the site, along the service road and along the west <br />boundary of the plat, between the townhouses and the existing single family homes. Fifty- <br />seven ornamental trees are proposed as well as landscaping around the townhouses. <br /> <br />S:\pLANNING\Case FiIes\2005\P 05.16 Heritage Maples\P05-016PC1-1O.doc <br />
