CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of July 23, 2012 — Regular Meeting Page 5 of 11 Voluntary Development Commitment Agreement with the property owner and developer speaking to items such as on- street parking, dedicated parking, retention areas, landscape material, street front walls entry features and proposed facades and floor plans. She added that even if these three items were approved, the owner /developer would still be required to seek site plan and plat approvals from the City. Ms. Smith reminded the Commission that if the requested amendments are approved, the garden home concept will allow 51 lots to be developed on the Tract G site by using reduced side corner yards, reduced side and rear yard setbacks from residential properties located outside the Seminola Boulevard Overlay District. She added that it will reduce the lot width and the lot area and increase the amount of impervious area on the lot while reducing the required open space on the lot. She stated that the requested amendments to the design criteria will increase the living area of the residential units. Ms. Smith advised of a correction to Section 5 of the Ordinance to correct a scrivener's error showing that the amendment is included in "Attachment A ", but it should actually read "Exhibit A ". She briefly explained that "Exhibit A" was a part of the Ordinance to be approved, and Attachments A -F were the attachments to the Planning and Zoning Attachment and were included for information purposes. Ms. Smith clarified further that the original Ordinance adopted in 2002 included "Exhibit C" setting forth the various development types, and this ordinance tonight would incorporate the designs shown in "Exhibit A" to the existing "Exhibit C" of the design criteria for the Seminola Boulevard Overlay District. In response to questions from Commissioner Miller, Mr. Newlon stated that instead of 66 townhomes, this would result in 51 single family residential units which would be of greater value, adding possibly as much as $10 million dollars in total value to the City's housing stock.
