111 410 <br /> 12/20/83 Page -11- <br /> Perimeter parking was selected to remove <br /> the structures from the townhouses thereby <br /> increasing distance and hopefully privacy <br /> between the units. A solid wood fence is <br /> proposed along the perimeter, which was <br /> approved with the original plan, with land- <br /> scaping against the fence and the buildings <br /> alleviating the commercial type concept with <br /> asphalt against the building. <br /> They have provided trash duspster enclosurers <br /> to be screened with solid wood fence and <br /> landscaping but would still would allow access <br /> for the trucks. The trash haulers indicated <br /> they would need 6 small duapsters to handle <br /> this propose <br /> Coming off Centennial Drive which is relatively <br /> high and turning east the site falls to the <br /> east. A retaining wall will be placed next <br /> to the sidewalk so the sidewalk will follow <br /> that drive and there will be steps going <br /> down to the south and the building sits much <br /> lower than the drive or Centennial Drive. <br /> A patio has been included with the open area. <br /> The site has been tied in with the bike path <br /> into the City network. <br /> Originally the plan called for 4 buildings: <br /> but staff felt and they agreed to increase <br /> the open area, the number of structures be <br /> minimized to 2. The access is provided to <br /> each end of the structure. <br /> Height Question Because of the question that came up at Plan- <br /> ning Commission regarding the height of the <br /> structures, he showed slides of the single <br /> family area which were 2 story on the west <br /> side and 3 story on the east aide. The home• <br /> were shown from Via Appia of 3 story homes <br /> and they were proposing these from Centennial <br /> Drive and becuse of the topography of the land <br /> the 3 story building would appear to be 2 <br /> story*. The height they are proposing is <br /> 25' to the eaves tin.; 20 tr% the ridge line <br /> and the average between the save and the <br /> ridge the ordinance allows 35' - theirs <br /> would be 31' . Therefore it appeared to them <br /> that they were below the ordinance by 4' and <br /> because of the way it was configured the <br /> building would sit down low and the walk out <br /> patios on the first floor would be sunken <br /> patios with handicapped ramps. <br /> .)rumor stated not only was the proposal below <br /> the city limit on height but the vl.w from <br /> Centennial, which he felt was the City's <br /> primary concern, is going to be much less <br />
