Petitioner: Justin Moffett,Old Town Companies: • In the past,we would have filed for a PUD and had a list of items,but instead we will use the Urban Residential (UR)underlying zoning intact and ask for some waivers and variances • We are dealing with three subdivision standards: Commercial,Townhome,and Single Family Residential • Our main drive will be a circle/loop drive. We will have a stormwater treatment design in the middle of this. • We will have a loop drive for our residential subdivision. It will be treated as an alley drive. • There's a maintenance agreement between the City of Cannel and the State along US 31. We will work with both agencies for a perimeter landscape and buffer plan. • Our sidewalks along Smokey Row will have more of an urban sidewalk feel. There will be front yard landscape between the sidewalks and the front of the homes. The ROW area will not contain landscape/buffer. • There are areas within this site we will stay out of due to the existing wetland and water quality preservation. After discussions with City Engineering,we will allow 10' easement as a minimum standard. • We have labeled the specific areas on our site plan where 0' water quality preservation easement is necessary along streams/floodway fringe. It will remain 15' in other areas. Public Comments: IVirginia Kerr,Kensington Place: I need a better explanation of the minimum ROW width along the section of Smokey Row Road that is by the entrance of Kensington Place(KP).
