Summary of Proposed Streets and/or Access: As part of the Tramore Development, a 50-foot wide
cross access easement was approved to intersect Pine Avenue near the west property line. This 50-foot
wide easement is the frontage/flag of the subject development. An access driveway has been constructed
to a width of 25-feet, with curb, gutter a sidewalk on the east side, from Pine Avenue to the southern
boundary of the proposed development. A secondary access point is also provided to the development in
the form of a drive aisle stub from the Rock Creek development to the east. In a letter dated February 13,
2007 ACHD stated that the same conditions and restrictions that apply to the previously approved
Tramore Subdivision (PFP-01-006) apply to this project. In other words there are no additional ACHD
requirements for this project.

I. Width of street buffer(s):
Previously installed with Tramore Subdivision

3. Percentage of site as open space and any amenities: 16.3% (0.93 acres)

Off -Street Parking: UDC 11-3C-6A requires multi -family dwellings with 2 or more bedrooms to have a
two -car covered carport or garage for each unit. Currently it appears that all of the parking in the
proposed development is uncovered. To conform with the UDC, at least eight covered parking spaces,
either a carport or garage, should be provided for each four -plea.
Comprehensive Plan Designation: High Density Residential
Compliance with Comprehensive Plan: Yes
Compliance with UDC: Yes (if conditions are met)
History of Previous Actions: This site was previously approved as Roundtree Subdivision (CUP-04-018,
PP-04-018, FP-04-076). The approvals for Roundtree Subdivision lapsed in 2006 and now the applicant is
re -applying for basically the same project as was previously approved. Due to the fact that the UDC has
been adopted since the original approval of this project, the current applications are being reviewed for
compliance with all of the current development standards contained in the UDC.
