3.8.18 Residential Density Calculations
Net acreage calculation:
The following acreages have been subtracted from the gross acreage to calculate the net
residential density.
(a) land to be dedicated for arterial streets
County Road 11 1.67 AC
County Road 52 0.50 AC
(d) land containing outdoor spaces that are to be dedicated to the public or deeded to
the homeowner's association and preserved for a park or central green ...............
(f) Land dedicated to pedestrian/bicycle path connections when required pursuant to
subsection 3.2.2 (C) (6) or subsection 4.5(E)(1)(b)...................

2. Neighborhood Center:
The Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood requires a neighborhood center to be
provided for projects containing more than 40 acres. Such a center must contain
at least two uses as defined by Section 4.5(D)(3)(c).
Mixed -use dwelling units are one of the defined uses allowed within an L-M-N
neighborhood center. Combined with the neighborhood support/recreation
facility, the two uses form a neighborhood center. The Land Use Code is silent
on the number of mixed -use dwelling units.
The proposed location of the mixed -use dwelling unit is on Lot 63 located next to
the community bike trail and across a local street from the neighborhood support
recreation facility. This location will continue to satisfy the requirement of Section
4.5(D)(3)(d) — Design and Access — but only so long as there is orientation to
both the public street and the community bike trail. Therefore, providing one
mixed -use dwelling unit is found to be in compliance with Section 4.5(D)(3)(c).
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Maple Hill Phase Seven was brought before the City's Conceptual Review team
on January 25, 2010. This phase includes 105 dwelling units on 17.91 gross
acres. At your request, we have prepared a response regarding compliance with
Section 4.5(D)(1)(a) — Density- in the context of incorporating Phase Seven into
the Overall Development Plan. An evaluation of residential density also includes
consideration of Section 3.8.18 — Residential Density Calculations.
Also, but not directly related to Phase Seven, is the issue of the Neighborhood
Center which adjoins Phase Seven and is required to contain a minimum of two
uses. At your request, we have prepared a response regarding compliance with
Section 4.5(D)(3)(c) — Neighborhood Center— Land Use Requirements.
1. Density:
Staff has evaluated the documents submitted for Conceptual Review including
the overall map of Maple Hill titled "Areas Subtracted For Net Density
Calculation." The areas indicated as being subtracted equal 28.51 acres and
comply with the parameters of Section 3.8.18 and are justified to be netted out of
the gross acreage. Subtracting these areas, therefore, reduces the gross
acreage of 154.79 acres to a net acreage of 126.28 acres.
Phase Seven is proposed for 105 dwelling units. Combined with the balance of
Maple Hill at 527 dwelling units, the new total would be 632 total dwelling units.
This new total of 632 units, divided over the net acreage of 126.28 acres yields a
net density of 5.00 dwelling units per acre. As proposed, therefore, with the
revisions contemplated by Phase Seven, the overall Maple Hill project continues
to comply with Section 4.5(D)(1)(a) — Density.
