3. Using a commercial floor area ratio calculation, a base density of 4 units would be allowed. 4. Using a maximum density increase, a maximum of 6 units would be allowed. 5. The Ordinance requires that 50%of the PUD be reserved in open space. The proposal contains 50.4%open space, counting privately held land. 6. The applicant has submitted covenants and bylaws for the development. 7. The association documents do not address the long-term preservation and maintenance of open-space as specified in the Ordinance. 8. There is no erosion control or stormwater management plan included with the application. 9. Although the units are"clustered",the proposed layout does not seem to meet the intent of"Centralization of Design Facilities," which requires structures to be clustered into one or more groups. 10. All of the units are proposed to be connected to the municipal sanitary sewer and water systems. 11. The site is accessible and is bordered by improved public streets. If you intend to vote to approve the PUD, we recommend that you add an additional finding that states that you fmd the proposed density reasonable given the location and parcel characteristics. Planning Commission Direction: The Commission can recommend to the Council that the Conditional Use Permit allowing the Planned Unit Development be approved. A recommendation of denial could also be made. If Commission members feel they need more information to make a decision,the application should be tabled. We have one more month in which we can deliberate on this matter without requesting an extension from the applicant. Staff Recommendation: The Commission indicated that they would be willing to give strong consideration to a PUD that included eight units. If the Commission decides to approve such a PUD concept, we recommend consideration be given to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall submit revised association documents addressing the long- term preservation and maintenance of open space consistent with the City's Ordinance. The revised document must be acceptable to a majority of the Planning Commission. 2. Association documents must be reviewed and be acceptable to the City Attorney. 3. The applicant shall submit and erosion control/stormwater management plan. 4. Each individual unit shall have, and shall be considered, a separate water and sewer connection. Each individual unit shall have a separate water meter.
