The meeting <br /> starts at 6:00 pm. An agenda and staff report will be emailed to you on or about Friday, September 18tH <br /> At this time, I have the following comments to offer. These comments may echo some of the comments raised in <br /> May during a review of a preliminary draft. <br /> Additional approvals. <br /> 1. I anticipate this project being developed as a Residential Planned Unit Development (RPUD). The RPUD <br /> standards include specific guidance on landscaping/screening, building materials/finishes. This project <br /> will require a zone change. <br /> 2. As a RPUD, the Council reviews the project in two formal steps: concept plan review, and Master <br /> Development plan. The concept plan should include the following additional information: <br /> Height of all buildings and square footage of buildings anticipated. <br /> 3. 43 units in 3.69 acres = 11.65 units per acre. The project as proposed will require a Comprehensive <br /> Plan Amendment because the proposed density is lower that as guided by the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> General comments. <br /> 4. RPUD zoning requires 10%of the gross land area to be used for private recreational. I see that a tot lot <br /> is proposed. Are other amenities anticipated? <br /> 5. The RPUD requires certain setbacks for multifamily attached structures: <br /> a. Collector street, 50 feet, <br /> b. All other property lines, 30 feet. I think the intent of this is setbacks from external streets, not the <br /> internal setbacks. <br /> 6. The RPUD requirements include specific landscaping standards. I have attached these for you. <br />
