Plannine Obiectiv
The housing structures within this development are to be single-family detached
homes.The proposed homes are intended to provide affordable housing for the
low to moderate income family.
The proposed houses are to provide a basic structure with a kitchen, living area,
three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The homes are to have 1,200 to 1,500 square
feet of finished living area. Single level, "Ranch," and "two - story" homes are to
be constructed. Each home is to have an unfinished basement and an attached
two car garage as a part of the basic construction.
The site plan has been designed to position each house along a side lot line in
order to provide the lots open space in one more usable area. Lots have been
arranged and houses positioned to provide view lines within the development
and for the existing neighboring homes. The homes are to have an architectural
style that is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The anticipated
style is used throughout the development in order to maintain the quality of the
project.
The proposed development is within easy walking or bicycling distance of nearby
schools, parks and shopping. The developments sidewalks are to be integral with
the curb and gutter in order to provide a more usable front yard space. In
addition to parallel parking that will be available along the streets, there will be
off-street parking spaces developed in the cul de sac.
Access to employment centers and neighborhood shopping centers is readily
available by way of the adjacent collector street, West Elizabeth Street.
The proposed development site is not considered to be a natural area with -upland
or wetland potential. The site is not located within an officially designated
floodplain.
Tract "A" of the "West Plum Street - P.U.D." is to remain an undeveloped parcel.
The development of this parcel is to be considered separately at a future date. The
existing home on Tract "A" is to remain as the residence for Mr. Mitzelfeld, the
site's owner. Pear Street is to be extended to the limits of Tract "A" in order to
provide access for future development on Tract "A."
The proposed open space/detention area tract is to be owned and maintained by
the development's Home Owners Association. The private open space on each
single-family residential lot, such as, yards, gardens, patios, etc., is be owned
and maintained by each individual lot owner. If necessary, a maintenance
easement will be provided on adjacent lots in order to allow access to provide
maintenance along any `zero lot' side of a structure.
