Preliminary Planned Residential Development <br />Planning Commission Report; 5-21-19 <br /> <br /> <br />Page 14 <br />GENERAL DEVELOPMENT REVIEW <br />Lots and <br />Blocks: <br /> The development site is made up of 8.47 acres to the north of Old Highway 8, and <br />4.07 acres to the south of Old Highway 8 for a total of 12.54 acres. <br /> Two new public streets are proposed: <br />1. An extension of the existing 7th Street NW across 8th Avenue NW into the <br />development site; and <br />2. An extension of the existing 8th Avenue NW to the south of Old Highway 8. <br /> The existing 7th Street NW to the north of the development site must either be <br />renamed and rebuilt as a narrower road, or must be vacated and replaced with green <br />space as part of this development process. Residents along 7th Avenue prefer the <br />vacation option, so that is what staff is recommending at this time (see Streets & <br />Transportation on pg 27) <br /> All internal drives for the proposed townhome development, senior living building, <br />and workforce housing building will be privately owned and maintained. <br /> <br />Access:  The main entrance to the development north of Old Highway 8 will be the <br />intersection of 8th Avenue NW and 7th Street NW. Emergency vehicle only entry <br />points will also be constructed at the ends of Road A and Road D out to 8th Avenue <br />NW to ensure emergency vehicle access at all times. Details for the emergency <br />vehicle entry points shall continue to be worked out with staff leading to the final <br />design. <br /> The main entrance to the development south of Old Highway 8 will come off of the <br />new extension of 8th Avenue NW south of the highway. <br /> Public safety has asked for additional information regarding the geometrics of the <br />entry points and internal drives to ensure safe ingress/egress for emergency vehicles. <br />Minor geometric changes, if needed, shall be made to the plans prior to final plan <br />approval. <br /> Each of the multi-family buildings will have one access point into the underground <br />parking for each structure. <br /> <br />Building <br />Locations: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Because this is a PRD, setbacks can be determined by the City based on what is best <br />for this land and for adjacent properties. Typical setbacks in the R-3B district are 30 <br />feet from streets and rears, and 10 feet from side lot lines. <br /> Within the Pulte portion of the development, buildings are proposed to be within 10 <br />to 28 feet of perimeter boundary lines. Nothing suggests any of the proposed setback <br />will be a problem in terms of safety. Locations as they relate to proposed heights of <br />the buildings are examined in the next report section on building heights (pg 15).
