Staff report by Michele McPherson. Phoenix Enterprises has requested preliminary plat approval for Phase two of the Twin Lake Townhomes project, consisting of 46 twin home townhomes. Ms. McPherson explained that the original plat (Twin Lake Townhomes) has been modified, since the developer was unable to acquire additional land within the center of the development. The developer did, however, acquire Outlot J of Trott Brook Farms. The applicant is requesting approval of a revised site plan for Twin Lake Townhomes which includes a new access onto County Road No. 13 and connected streets between the two phases of the project. Ms. McPherson reviewed existing site conditions, setbacks, roads, parking and landscaping. She noted that wetland issues will be reviewed by the tech panel and the Army Corps of Engineers. Ms. McPherson discussed the City Engineer's recommendations regarding sanitary sewer and water, grading and drainage, and the proposed retaining walls. The Park and Recreation Commission recommended cash for park dedication. Ms. McPherson stated that staff recommends approval of the request and reviewed the 13 conditions as outlined in the staff report.
