association will be responsible for the maintenance of the rain gardens indicated on the Gaines • Group drawings as set forth in a maintenance agreement that will be submitted to the city during site plan review. 3. The proposed land uses on the Residential Component are shown on the Development Plan. The applicant proposes to build 10 units of residential housing, 6 of which are detached and 4 of which are attached. The setbacks are shown on the plan. The unit sizes will be between 1,300 sq. feet and approximately 2,100 sq. feet, and will consist of 2 and 3 -bedroom units. Two 1,300 sq. feet units will be designated to provide affordable housing as set forth in the proffers submitted with the plan. There are no changes in uses in the commercial component. 4. The applicant will include open space in the amount of 11,179 sq, feet, approximately 25.5% of the total site area. The open space is comprised of landscaping along Carlton Road, between the commercial and residential portions of the site, around residential units within the project, rain gardens along Chestnut Street and Carlton Avenue, and two linear pocket parks. The applicant agrees to plant 13 large caliper trees (large caliper 2-3 inch caliper) on the site, several more than what is required. Over and above city requirements, there will also be a S2 -type buffer on the east and north side of the development, including a solid fence and/or landscaping, as shown on the Gaines Group drawings. 5. The applicant proposes, at his own cost, to build 5' wide sidewalks along Chestnut Street to the west of the property and Carlton Avenue to the south, to be built in the city right of way, and to connect with present sidewalks. • 6. The linear pocket parks will be located between Units 4 & 5 and between Unit 2 & 3. The pocket parks will be available for the enjoyment of all residents of Eddins Cottages. Rain gardens will be installed along Chestnut Street and Carlton Avenue in front of units 1-6 that will act as a form of bio -retention for the storm water runoff on this site. Rain gardens filter runoff, recharge local ground water, improve water quality, protect rivers and streams, create habitat for birds and butterflies, survive drought seasons, and enhance sidewalk appeal and garden enjoyment. Rain gardens provide an aesthetic and environmental amenity. 7. Joining the properties under a common Mixed Use PUD designation accomplishes several purposes: 1. It allows for greater density in the Residential Component, thereby increasing the number of affordable housing units from 1 to 2. 2. It provides a more coherent zoning classification on a large site in the city, and provides the city greater control of the site as a whole over time. 3. It clarifies some the underlying zoning on the "Commercial Component." 2111 Respectfully submitted this I day of February, 2006 CARLTON PROPERTY, LLC C, J
