Because the project is proposed as a zero-lot line, there is a conflict with the
building code regarding window openings and overhangs along the zero-lot line
elevation. I suggest that you consider a property line between the units with five
foot minimum building setback to each unit.
The proposed units are very large in relation to the width of the lot. The buildings
should incorporate vertical and horizontal offsets to incorporate some articulation to
the side and rear elevations. Consider a half-floor step (split level) in the floor plan
rather that a full floor step. Possibly a partial level over the garage, and two levels
off the end of the garage. Bring the entrance of the unit more towards the front of
the lot to reduce the impact of the garage.
Landscape plan needs to reflect the passive recreation area added to site plan.
Include a landscape strip between the passive area and the parking area.
Include pavement treatments to the drive entrance, driveways, cul-de-sac, and
passive recreation area. Consider making seat walls from the retaining wall within
the passive area.
Provide full scale south elevations with notes regarding the proposed architectural
treatments. Please remove the fences and gated entries these from the plans to
show the correct elevations of the units.
Correct front yard setback dimension on Sheet 3 of 3 from 18 to 20 feet.
