Re: Development Agreement - Towne Lakes
Dear Linda:
We have received a draft of the Development Agreement for Towne Lakes. After
review and discussions with Mr. Couri. City Attomey we still have some concerns
and/or requests that we would like to discuss further with the City. We are in general
agreement with the Developer's Agreement pverall except in the following areas.
1. Item 1. Conditional Use Permits.. Subparagraph vi. b. . Garage Side yard
Setbacks
We would like to amend this condition to allow garage structures to be placed within 5
feet of the side property line provided there is a minimum separation of 15 feet
between structures when there is a house on the adjoining parcel and 10 feet of
separation between structures when there is a garage structure on the adjacent
parcel. Exhibit B (setbacks) reflects our proposed requests with regards to setbacks.
2. Item 1. Conditional U.e Permits - subparagraph vi. Accessory dwelling unit
We would like to give a presentation to the City Council of the advantages and
opportunities of rental units.
3. Item 1. Conditional Use Permits. subparagraphs ~cO & S" Wetland Setbacks
This condition does not effect our flrst phase however, it does impact the buildable
area of three lots In a future phase. We would like to know why the change from a 20
foot to a 30 foot setback?
