Registry Ridge Second Filing is located on the west side of Shields Street and north of
Bon Homme Richard Drive. The site includes Parcels C and G of the Registry Ridge
Overall Development Plan. The First Filing contained 203 single family lots and was
approved approximately November 1997, and the Third Filing, containing an additional
212 lots is currently in the City's development review process as a Final P.U.D.
This request is for 84 townhome units on approximately 3.0 acres. The residential
density is 5.7 d.u. / acre. The project also contains a total 15,750 square feet of retail, a
convenience store, with fuel sales, and a daycare center.
The paired townhome buildings each enclose an internal parking court. Each unit has an
entry off the parking court and a two -car garage. In addition, each unit has an entrance
on the exterior or "streetside" of the building. The height of the townhome units is
expected to be 26 ` 6" to the top of the roof ridgeline. The predominant architectural
materials are different painted siding and detailing producing an attractive streetscape.
Access to the site is from Bon Homme Richard Drive to the south, Truxtun Drive on the
north, Nimitz Drive on the west and South Shields Street on the East. Internal bike/
pedestrian connections exist throughout the project, connecting the residential uses to the
commercial facilities, daycare and two neighborhood parks.
The design objectives of the landscape plan are to provide an attractive streetscape and
to enhance the pedestrian and vehicular experience within the site. The parks will provide
an open space / recreational areas for use by residents. Deciduous and evergreen trees
will be used to enhance the open space areas, compliment the architectural character
