V. STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed final plat consists of one (1) church lot, twenty-one (21) single-family residential lots
and four (4) common lots on approximately 14.69 acres. The average lot size for the residential
portion of the development is 7,184 square feet. The gross density of the development is 4.07
dwelling units per acre with a net density of 4.81 dwelling units per acre.
The proposed open space consists of the Locust Grove street buffer, 8 -foot wide parkways and
passive open space. Overall open space proposed for the development is 0.59 acres which totals
approximately 11.6%. The open space is consistent with the overall project open space.

staff finds the proposed plat to be in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat as
required by UDC 11 -6B -3C.2.
