Dear Planning and Zoning Board Members: Registry Ridge Fourth Filing is located on the West Side of Shields Street and south of Bon Homme Richard Drive. The site includes parcel D of the Registry Ridge Overall Development plan. The First Filing contained 203 single-family lots and was approved on approximately November 1997. The Second riling containing 84 townhouse units and 15,750 square feet of retail space is currently in the City's development review process as a Preliminary P.U.D. The Third filing, containing an additional 212 lots, is currently in the City's development review process as a Final P.U.D. Registry Ridge Fourth Filing is a request for 44 duplex units on approximately 8.31 acres. The residential density is 5.3 d.u. /acre. Each duplex unit has a two -car garage with additional drive way parking. Each of the duplexes will share a common drive way court. Access to the area is from Bon Homme Richard Drive to the north. A road (Bataan Drive) will curve through the site, being primarily used by the duplex neighborhood. Two alleys shall be used for additional access. The duplexes are arranged in a cluster formation to create micro neighborhoods. A network of open spaces will provide opportunities for small gatherings or recreational activities. A formal pedestrian connection will follow the main drive through the site connecting the neighborhood with the open spaces. The design objectives of the landscape plan are to provide an attractive streetscape and to enhance the pedestrian and open space connections through the site. Deciduous trees, evergreen trees, and foundation plantings will be used to enhance the open space areas, compliment the architectural character, and provide seasonal interest. Varied planting schemes will be used to delineate the common areas. All common spaces are to be owned and maintained by the Homeowner's Association. The maximum height of the building is approximately 25 feet. The buildings will feature pitched rooflines and contrasting veneers (see elevations). Additional features will include patios, bay windows, and entry courtyards.
