The stacked ranch condos originally approved are now proposed as townhome-style condos. There are 12 buildings proposed with a total of 68 units; the overall density of the site is 11.1 dwelling units per acre. The parcels are located in the Harmony Corridor (HC) zone district Recommendation: Approval Staff and Applicant Presentations Jason Sherrill, with Landmark Homes, gave an overview of the project, focusing on the important features of the project, which is actually the final phase of a larger project that was previously approved in 2002. Plans had to be resubmitted because the vested rights had expired and had to conform to the new engineering standards. The buildings are now townhome-style condos, which is more appealing to the current market, the units are larger but fewer overall. They will have private outdoor areas and 2-car garages. He reviewed the few changes to the plan, illustrating the changes relative to the original plan and their conformance with the new standards. Staff Analysis Planner Everette provided an analysis of the project, showing the location on a map and reviewing the zoning compliance of this project, she stated that secondary uses had been previously identified on the Harmony Park ODP. The project meets the development and dimensional standards established within the LUC. Regarding open space requirements, Planner Everette stated that the necessary compliance has been satisfied. She indicated that pocket parks are close by as well, and she showed a map of the proximity of the project to other areas. Staff finds the project to be similar to the rest of the subdivision and in compliance with the LUC. Public Input John Zac, 5038A Brookfield Drive, is the Chairman of the Townhome Homeowner's Association, and he stated his issues with this plan: 1.) he understood that the pool was going to be twice as large as the current one proposed, and 2.) the clubhouse has an occupancy rate of less than 40 people. He would like to know if original occupancy was incorporated into this plan or if it was reduced. Board Questions and Staff/Applicant Response Mr. Sherrill responded that he was not aware of the size of original proposed pool. Planner Everette confirmed that the current proposed pool is similar to the original plan.
