The property to the southwest is Planned Development PD No 63 for Local Retail LR. The property to the south (across Ridgeview Drive) is Agriculture Open Space AO. Director Bass explained that this Planned Development is located between two high traffic roads: making the site a good location for a multi -family and retail center development. Upon this site, there would be three access points provided for the Multi -family development and two access points provided for the future Local Retail development. Turn lanes and new median openings are incorporated into the Concept Plan to accommodate future traffic on Custer Road and Ridgeview Drive. Additional improvements to Ridgeview Drive are proposed to accommodate the access point for the Local Retail tract. Mr. Bass mentioned that if there was an applicant wanting to locate a fuel station on this site, the applicant would have to receive a Special Use Permit, Mr. Bass described this development as an urban style design. Rey elements to this design are a reduced building setback with buildings fronting the street and parking in the rear. There are two building types proposed The exterior materials for the buildings are a combination of stone and stucco. Eles ahons facing Custer Road and Ridgeview Drive will have stone on the entire first level for added architectural detail along the street frontage. He explained that there will be three (3) "type I" buildings with an internal open space and there are six (6) "type 3" buildings. The Concept Plan shows nine 3 -story buildings that are approximately 47 feet in height. The development contains 246 one bedroom/one bathroom units, 180 two bedroom/two bathroom units and 18 three bedroom/two bathroom units; totaling 444 units and a density of 15. Surface, attached and detached garage parking is provided at a ratio of 177 spaces/unit. Staff supports this parking rano since over 50% of the units are one bedroom/one bathroom The proposed development regulations are as follows • A maximum building height of three stories or 48 feet. • A parking ration of 1.77 spaces per unit with a combination of surface parking, detached garages and attached garages. • The rear building setback line (located on the eastern property boundary) shall be the fully developed 100 year floodplain or 20 feet from FEMA 100 year floodplain, whichever represents the further setback. • The front building setback line (located along Custer Road and Ridgeview Drive) shall be 20 feet. • Perimeter screening along Custer Road, Ridgeview Drive and the boundary between Tract II (MF) and Tract III (LF) to consist of wrought iron fencing and landscape screening • Three monument signs (with a maximum height of nine feet) for the multi -family development. • Two access points along Ridgeview Drive for Tract 11 (MF) and Tract III (LR), as shown on the Concept Plan and Ridgeview, Drive Access and Driveway Exhibit. Mr. Bass pointed out where additional landscaping will serve as parking lot screening A 6 foot wrought iron fence will be placed around the perimeter of the parking area. Extensive landscaping is provided to screen the parking rows along Custer Road and Ridgeview Drive from view In addition, a 6 foot wrought iron fence and vegetative screen will be placed along the boundary between the Multi -family and Local Retail tracts These screening elements shall be built at the time the Multi -family tract develops Tree mitigation for this site has been reviewed by staff and meets the requirements of the Allen Land Development Code. Staff recommends approval. Chairman Wendland opened the Public Hearing David Hicks, 401 Woodlake, Allen spoke in favor of the request. He shared his concern for the growing young population not being able to find reasonably priced housing. Mr. Hicks stated that the lower count of parking would be appropriate because many of the units would only have single individuals, only requiring one parking space. He stated that Allen would be proud to have this type of product. Paul Smith, 1206 Waterdown Drive, Allen, stated that he was not opposed to this project entirely but was concerned with the concessions made toward building height and set -back. He also stated a concern for children walking to school from this development. John Heaton, 1224 Waterdown Drive, Allen, expressed his concern for the height of the building structure in relation to the adjacent road Another concern Mr. Benton stated was the additional traffic in the area. His last concern dealt with the appreciation of the site not being consistent with the rest of the surrounding neighborhood. Carter Moore, 1204 Waterdown Drive, Allen, explained his concern for the height of the building. He felt as though the large "type 1" building would be above the creek and would serve as a detriment to the area. Mr. Moore stated that he was in favor of this development in general, just not the additional height of the buildings. Chairman Wendland closed the Public Hearing Mr Bass explained that the school was consulted on this project and has agreed to provide busing for students. He explained that pedestrian access is pieced together as development occurs and does not go in all at once Mr. Bass assured the Commission that the height proposed for this site is a good fit for the location. He further explained that the locations of the buildings along the street are not exactly twenty (20) feet because the set -back is measured from the property line, not the curb of the street There is an additional fifteen (15) feet between the curb and the property line. I" Vice Chair Cocking pointed out that there were very few trash reciprocals Mr. Bass stated that this is a Concept Plan. Waste services will be further reviewed during the Site Plan stage.
