Item # 5
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property suitable for
medium density residential uses. A portion of the property
is also shown to be in the floodplain.
DISCUSSION: The proposed residential subdivision will essentially be an extension of
Asbury Manor, a residential subdivision located immediately to the south of
this proposed development. The two points of access into this subdivision
will occur at Cromwell Court and Westminister Way, both of which are
continuation of the two streets in Asbury Manor. As stated in the applicant's
letter, the 14 lots will be sold to Ryland Homes, the builder of Asbury
Manor. The applicant assures staff that this new subdivision will be
consistent in every respect with Asbury Manor.
As shown on both the plat and buffer study, the builder will be providing a 5-
foot wide wall and landscape easement along the side and rear property lines
of Lot 1, Block 4, and Lots 1-5, Block 5. The purpose of this easement is to
install a 6'-high column brick masonry wall to screen the Multi-Family
district from the single-family homes, as required by ordinance.
The City will eventually develop the 10 acres of property to the north as city
park and access to city property will be from a private road which will extend
northward from the Westminister Court cul-de-sac into the park site.
