Density: The Comprehensive Plan shows the project site as being between ]ow intensity (up to 3 units per acre) and medium intensity (3-5 units per acre) residential areas. The proposal is to build 20 single-family attached units, configured into 10 duplex units and retain the existing home on the 6.369 acre site for a total of 21 units. This would produce a density of 3,297 units per acre, which is within the density limits prescribed in the Comprehensive Plan. 2. Buffering: This project is buffered from lower intensity uses in the following ways: • To the South: Proposed landscape buffer provides a landscaped berm, preservation of existing trees and new landscaping to screen to the 3-4 adjacent properties in Donnybrook Woods subdivision. To the East: Undeveloped property (open space), which is primarily in the floodplain, buffers the subject property from adjacent residences. In addition, the large mature trees along the eastern and northeastern portion of the site will be retained as a site amenity and buffer to adjacent properties. • To the West: The Monon Trail and existing landscaping provides a buffer similar to a roadway buffer. 3. Scale and Intensity: • The 2020 Vision Plan defines the area immediately north of the site as a lAw Intensity Regional/Community Employment Area which should include buildings 1-2 stories in height. The Morton Patio Homes PUD calls for 1-2 story attached single family homes which would provide an appropriate buffer between the future employment area and the existing residential uses surrounding the site. This proposal accomplishes the following provision of the 2020 Vision Plan: 1.1.2 Transitions, in scale and density, should occur between residential communities and community/regional employment areas • The 2020 Vision Plan states that Cluster style development is encouraged in Low Intensity Residential Areas (13-3 units/acre) in order to protect a significant tree stand or other environmental resource (1.4.1). This plan protects the larger tree stand on the northeast corner of the site. • The 2020 Vision Plan states that Medium Density Residential Areas (3-5 units/acre) should be permitted where access is directly available by at least a collector and not through minor streets (1.S.land 1.5.2). This development is accessed directly by 1 16°i Street, which is classified as a Primary Parkway in the 2020 Vision Plan. • The proposed density of the project (3?97 units per acre) is within the density range contemplated in the comprehensive plan (3-5 units per acre). INIMAN2 779451v1 Monon Patio Homes Docket No. 77-03 Z Alternative Development Scenario• Developed as asingle-family detached subdivision utilizing the R-1 Zoning District and Open Space provisions of Subdivision Control Ordinance, Chapter 7.

Base Density: 2.9 units per acre Permitted Density: 3.23 units per acre This would allow 20 detached units to be built on the site.
