Townhomes Phases 2 and 3 Planned Development District. The

abuts single-family residential developed as Spring Creek Gardens.
(show original plan) approved in 2002 as part of the PDD rezoning. Any
changes to street alignments requires action by the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the City Council.
The applicant is proposing to realign the streets in phases 2 and 3 to align
their entrance on Decatur Drive with the median cut that will be built. The
City is currently constructing Decatur Drive.
The applicant is also reducing the maximum density of these phases from
13.7 to 10. 9. There were no other changes requested from the original
rezoning.
We have received a letter from one resident in opposition to the height of
the structures located behind Spring Garden Drive. The proposed height of
the structures is 15 to 35 feet. 35 feet is the maximum height allowed in all
of our single family and duplex districts. A copy of the letter was provided to
the commission with their packet, however, we received a followup email
today stating that the resident has spoken with the builder about creating a
more residential feel to the backs of the homes and a possibility of building
false dormers on the back of the structures.
