The proposed changes to 31 of the 67 townhouse units, located in the south end of the development, will involve interior layout and building elevation changes only. The site plan, building footprints, grading, landscaping and other site improvements will not be changed from the original approvals. The Oakgreen Village Planned Unit Development was approved by the City Council on May 23, 2006. The approvals included 67 residential townhouse units as part of the first phase of the development. The 36 units (some of which are under construction) on the north end of the development will be constructed as planned. In that the site plans are not being changed, an amendment to the Planned Unit Development is not required. Staff has determined that the Planning Commission should make a recommendation, and the City Council approve the new design of the units. Attached for reference: Exhibit 1: Exhibit 2: Exhibit 3: Exhibit 4: Exhibit 5: Exhibit 5: Exhibit 7: Exhibit 8: Approved Master Plan with Phasing Location Map /Unit Layout Diagram Front Elevation Diagram Rear Elevation Diagram Side Elevation Diagram Approved (2006) Building Elevation Approved (2006) Building Elevation Color Building Elevations (Proposed) ISSUES ANALYSIS Proposed Project. The applicants have requested replacing the approved design for 31 of the Oakgreen Village townhouse units. The units are located at the south end of the development, adjacent to Nova Scotia Avenue and the existing pond. John and Cory Arkell would take over this portion of the development from Tim Nolde. Only the interior layouts and exterior appearance of the units would change from what was approved. Sixteen of the units nearest Nova Scotia Avenue would be constructed in 2007. The remaining units would be completed in 2008. The buildings would utilize the exact footprints and floor elevations of the approved buildings. None of the driveways, grading, drainage or landscaping would be changed. Building Design Materials. The proposed townhouses are three stories in height with front porches and rear garage entrances. The elevations include asphalt shingles, acrylic premium siding, and brick fascia. The porches will have cedar railings and stairs. Raised panel garage doors will also be used. The approvals for Oakgreen Village had specified a condition that vinyl lap siding could not be used but must be cement board or steel. The siding proposed for the new design is labeled as an "acrylic premium siding." Building samples will be provided for Planning Commission and City Council review. A determination will need to be made if this product is appropriate and allowable under the original approvals. Staff feels that the change of design is positive. The units feature more detailing and have a traditional row house or townhouse design that has been desired for this area. The only issue remaining is the choice of materials which should be a recommendation of the Planning Commission and decision by the City Council. CONCLUSION 1 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the change of building design for the 31 units of the Oakgreen Village Planned Unit Development with the following conditions: 1. The Planning Commission should comment on the building design and building materials of the 31 housing units to be known as Nova Scotia Villas. 2. All securities and provisions of the Oakgreen Village Planned Unit Development and the development agreement shall apply to the 31 housing units of Nova Scotia Villas. 3. Any changes to building elevations, driveway locations, landscaping, lighting, or other site improvements from the original Oakgreen Village Planned Unit Development shall be subject to review and approval of City staff. 2 el_ • - A C ZSZ) OAEGREEN 1 1 C - A, TT 3,AKC;F,EEN C (c6 ____ 1 , 1 ) 1 1 i ( , E i 1) . 1 S 1 I I 1 J! 1 i 111 11 11 I I _(I ` 1 i i ,i II 11' . ,,,,,_.
