It II,MIN. IN, NI11, I NORTH FLATS @ OLD TOWN NORTH P x ti Preliminary Design Review Application n� June 6, 2006 pr Specific Questions: 1. As mentioned in the narrative, a replat is anticipated and therefore it is desired that any easement issues be cleaned up through this process. With this in mind, the utility J1 easement at the southeast corner of lot M-17 on Block 3 is round whereas all of the other corners of the intersection are square. Is there any reason why this easement could not be squared up like the others through the replat process? � a(N� -Uccorn • l6nu�-�lawG(yr�.. �'io�ruk� shawih �o� 2. At the east side of lots M-42 to M-49 on Block 7 the access, drainage & utility easement has been expanded relative to similar easements on the adjacent lots. It is understood that °k shy ll� this expansion was to accommodate additional drainage accumulation on this property. op Could a portion of this easement be vacated through the replat process to accommodate �F carport structures? Conceptually, the vacation would consist of the vertical space of the easement from about 8' up and a small portion of the easement, to the ground to address 2!Z ff columns needed to support such structures. 3. Similar to item 2, could a vertical portion only above the utility easements at the back of the �� o other lots be vacated to allow carport roof structures to project over the easement "air" space? 4. On the Blondel side of the lots, is it possible to project stairways and planters over the V easement, as shown on the site plan provided that some means of routing utilities beneath the elements is provided (i.e. conduit, raceways or other possibilities)? 410. 3-S• 19 (a)(7) 5. Similar to item 4, is it possible to locate the trash enclosures over the utility easement at ✓l;OY/9 the rear of the lots? 6. Based on a count of 32 single bedroom units and 16 two bedroom units, 76 parkingu spaces are required per the Landuse Code requirements. 65 parking spaces are provided Zvi hi ctcdc�r per the proposed site plan. Does it seem reasonable that a Modification of Standards n,�?

Not the modernism of the 201- century where the home was viewed as a "machine for living", but today's modernism. Today's modernism allows for a richer, warmer material pallet and recognizes that a buildings character should respond to its location both artistically and climatically. Furthermore, these homes are designed for homeowners who simply want a house that is different and fresh. On the "green" front, North Flats will be designed to be as sustainable as possible within the constraints of a maximum price of $200,000. It is possible LEED Certification will be sought but if not, LEED principles will be incorporated to the degree possible. Furthermore, the project will attempt to promote the use of alternative transportation. With each unit, the homeowner will be provided with a moped type vehicle and battery charging stations will be provided to recharge the vehicles. North Flats is proposed on the M lots fronting Blondel Street in Old Town North on blocks 3, 4, 7 & 8. The site circulation, drainage and parking for the most part are in existence on the site per the previously approved plans. The primary difference with the current proposal and the previously approved is that the current is attempting "6-plex" facilities in the same locations that the previous plan attempted "4-plex" facilities. The additional density required for this revision will be provided by the Old Town North developer transferring available density units from other areas of the overall development. With the additional units, it is anticipated that a replat will be required in order to eliminate the lot lines between the attached dwellings. It is anticipated that each grouping of 4 lots would be combined into 1 lot and then the individual units would be condominimized to allow for individual unit sales. Preliminary drawings of North Flats have been presented to the developer of Old Town North, Monica Sweere of Palladian Homes, Incorporated in order to determine the compatibility of the project with the development design guidelines. The plans were well received and it seems the addition of North Flats to Old Town North will strengthen the community. i Prelimina (_ii :'ni Seri' nlhu`.
