Staff Comments
The Planning staff feels that the general concept of clustering single-
family homes adjacent to common open area is a desirable pattern of devel-
opment, as can be demonstrated by the existing development adjacent to this
site in Warren Shores P.U.D.
The preliminary plan has been revised to indicate additional data as
required by the P.U.D. Ordinance and to respond to comments concerning
the layout of the proposal discussed at the March meeting. The staff
would, however, suggest the following additional revisions ' o the pre-
liminary plan.
The garden apartment area at the northwest cirner of Lhe site should
not be shown on the preliminary plan. The (1 —eloper is not yet
prepared to present a detailed preliminary plan for this area, hence
it should be considered as a separate enti, y to be re,riewed in the
future. The only problem that raises i:; Cull the garden apartment
parking lot is supposed to provide the secondary access for this
site until connecting streets to the south are developed. The problem
can be resolved for the time being, however, by designing a temporary
secondary access through the apartment area to be built in conjunction
with Phase I, the cluster lot area now under review. This would
provide secondary access until the apartment layout is designed,
approved and constructed, whereupon the apartment parking lot would
become secondary access.
r 2. The site plan should designate the common open areas which fulfill
ordinance specifications for 15% common active recreational area. The
Board should be aware that some of the 30% total open space minimum
requirement is allocated to private yards within lots. Also, lot line
fences should be prohibited so as to maintain viability of common open
area.
The site plan should indicate building envelopes for lots.

3 The fourplex area should be redesigned as a cul-de-sac with one inter-
section with the arterial rather than a loop with two. Additional detail
concerning configuration of building and off street parking for this area
should be indicated since fourplex units on 7200 s. f. lots may be overly
constrained.
5. ) Location of collect(,r street intersection projected south of Phase I does
not appear well suited to topography. This may re(luire some redesign of
col IecLor location wiLhin Phase I at south end.
Final utilities design will require some relocation of lot lines, etc.
