07/29/2013: The Land Use Code has standards for calculating and depicting residential gross
density, which is outlined in Section 3.8.18 of the Code. The gross acreage should be clearly
labeled as the total Second Filing gross acreage which I believe is around 8.66 acres (please
verify this number). You will need to figure out how many dwelling units are existing in Rigden
Farm Second Filing (call that out) then add your units to that for the density.
Please revise the site plan to include a residential density calculation table as required.
3.8.18 Residential Density Calculations
(A) Calculation of the gross residential density shall be performed (and included on the
development plan) in the following manner:
(1) Determining the gross acreage. The gross acreage of all the land within the boundaries of
the development shall be included in the density calculation except:
(a) any interest in land which has been deeded or dedicated to any governmental agency for
public use prior to the date of approval of the development plan; provided, however, that this
exception shall not apply to any such acquisition of an interest in land solely for open space,
parkland or stormwater purposes; and
(b) land devoted to nonresidential uses such as commercial, office, industrial or civic uses.
(2) The foregoing gross acreage calculation shall be shown in a table format on the
development plan and shall form the basis for calculating the gross residential density.
(3) The total number of dwelling units shall be divided by the gross residential acreage. The
resulting gross residential density shall also be shown in a table format on the development
plan.

07/30/2013: It is noted on the plan that Outlot B (parking lot) is to be constructed "by others".
The construction of Outlot B (the parking lot) is required for this project or demonstrate that the
parking provided in outlot B is not necessary to meet parking requirements over all of Rigden
Farm Second Filing. If it is not necessary, then it should be landscaped according to
standards.
Response: Additional parking is not necessary (for Rigden Farm Second Filing) therefore Outlot B
has been revised to show landscaping.

bedrooms 1.75 spaces for 2 bedrooms and 2.0 spaces for three bedroom units.
Response: The number of units have been added to the Land Use Statistics. There will be 21- 2
bedroom units and 13 – 3 bedroom units. Parking requirements have been updated accordingly

Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 07/30/2013
07/30/2013: It appears that a parking lot is not being built with this project on the southeast
corner of Rockford Drive and Des Moines Drive. It would seem that the need for this parking lot
would occur with the development of this particular project. What is the intention of this parking
lot, especially with it being indicated on the site plan as "By Others"? Regardless of the status
the sidewalk along Des Moines Drive should be constructed with this development to ensure
there's not this gap in the sidewalk network.
Response: The Outlot has been revised to provide landscaping in that area. The sidewalk along
Des Moines Drive has been added to the plans to ensure sidewalk network connections.
