The applicant seeks to create 24 detached single-family residences on 2.59 acres.
The site is located at 740~760 and 780 IS! Avenue NW, and 12], ]3], and 135 8th Street
NW, and is ZOlled R2 Residential, pending approval to the PUD classification.
Filed by Jim Shinaver of Nelson & Frankenberger, for Uptown Partners, LLC.
The applicant seeks to rezone 2.59 acres in Old Town for the creation of 24 detached single
family residences (9.26 units' per acre). This proposed POO functions as the project's Primary
Plat and as such, this will be the only Plan Commission process regarding its development. See
the infomlation packet and the supplemental packet for full details. We have received 49 letters
of support from neighbors.
This site currently has 7 homes (3 of these are identified as contributing buildings by the Old
Town Zoning Ordinance). The current zoning ofR2 permits a density of3.9 units per acte. The
Comprehensive Plan identitIes this area as "Medium Intensity Residential", pennitting single
family detached and doubles with a general maximum density of 5 units per acre. The
surrounding lots have been developed at 3.5 units per acre. To the north is the Traditions on the
Monon Townhome development, developed at ] 1.07 units per acre.
The initial review materi<lls indicate that the structures in this POO meet the intent of the Old
Town Overlay in tenns of use, design, and materials.
The Department's comments and requests are as follow:
L Provide details on the patio areas. Are they enclosed? How do they coordinate with the
neighboring dwellii1g?
2. Provide details on the emergency access at Smokey Row Rd. (136th Street) - construction,
materials, etc. It is recommended to provide a break away gatelbollards at this area to
prevent non-emergency use.
3. The bufferyard along the Manon (on your property) should include large tree plantings.
4. Explore the option of using pervious pavers at the "cobblestone" intersections and the
intemal guest parking. Using such will decrease stormwater nmoff, and improve water
runoff water quality.
5. Revise the landscape plan to show only your site's plantings. Plantings that exist within the
Manon right of way can not be considered as part of your proposal.
6. The small plaza area connecting to the Manon should function as a staging area - with
benches, a bike rack, etc.
u
u
7. The petitioner must coordinate with the Parks Department to receive approval and support for
the Manon connection.
8. Provi.de an update on the Landscape Plan and Engineering revie\vs and approvals.
The Department recommends this item be continued to the Ma.rch 6th Committee meeting
to allow time for the petitioner to fully resolve the above comments.
