City Administrator Comments:
• If the Clay Property is approved to be rezoned to R-20, the related proposed development shall abide by all R-20 standards including a maximum density of six (6) townhouses per net acre;
• The southernmost internal roadway shall align with Calverton Drive to maintain continuity of the existing roadway network;
• Express support for the application’s 150-foot buffer to the north (adjacent to Hitching Post Hill) and land swap with M-NCPPC to preserve green space on the property;
• A 50-foot wooded buffer to the east (adjacent to single-family houses) shall be incorporated within rear of subdivided lots and maintained privately;
• Specimen trees adjacent to the 15% - 25% slope be preserved to avoid potential stormwater issues;
• The applicant shall dedicate to the City the ‘Non-motorized Connection’ area as improved land area of 50’ in width for the purpose of dedication as public Right of Way. The land shall be constructed and maintained by the applicant until such time as the City accepts the land through public dedication.
