RE: SDP2011- 013 \Old Trail Village Block 23 Final Site Plan
The subject submittal has been reviewed and the following comments need to be
addressed:
1) In general, while this plan is similar to the preliminary submitted approximately
one year ago, there are important elements missing that remain a concern. The
layout of this block is somewhat different than was shown on the preliminary
plan. The plan is more like a cul de sac than a block plan and this is not the intent
of the Neighborhood Model District.
2) Regarding the two units adjacent to Golf Drive, previous comments have
described the type of treatment we are looking for in order to provide a fagade to
Golf Drive. Describe how a frontage treatment will face Golf Drive for units 1
and 13. The preliminary plan showed a walk from the porch to Golf Drive. I no
longer see these walkways.
3) The preliminary showed enclosed courtyards. The final does not appear to provide
the courtyards. Will the courtyards still be in the plans?
4) What will the treatment be at the entrance into this block? The preliminary
showed common space at the entrance; however, the final plan does not provide
any information.
5) How will residents in block 23 access the open space areas?
6) Some of the open space shown on the plans is adjacent to the rear yards of some
of the properties. Will there be some type of delineation between the open space
area and the rear yards of the affected residential properties?
7) The front yard for unit 1 is very long. A good portion of this yard will face Golf
Drive. As previously mentioned, how will this street front be treated?
8) Describe what is in the middle of the block. The preliminary showed an interim
open grass pocket park.
9) Is enough general parking provided for this block?
