Committee reviews Towne Pointe townhome site plan; staff, developers confirm sewer and parking arrangements
Summary
Staff presented a site development plan for a 25‑unit townhome‑style multifamily project on Towne Pointe Drive; the plan calls for city sewer main extension, on‑site parking that exceeds code minimums and sprinklers for units, and staff recommended approval to be placed on consent.
Community Development Director Mark Hunt presented a site development plan (Case 250153346) for a Towne Pointe Drive infill project described by staff as townhome‑style multifamily. Hunt said developer Everest Homes, represented by Rad Pandit, plans four buildings (two with six units and one with seven) totaling 25 units, and that the developer elected a 25‑unit layout to allow additional parking, snow storage and turning movements rather than squeezing 34 units onto the lot.
Hunt told the committee the project will require a city sanitary sewer main through the site because of the number of units; he said the developer agreed to that requirement. He said the project provides about 100 parking spaces though code would require only roughly 50 for this development. Councilmember Jerry asked about sidewalks and the private drive (Towne Pointe Center); Hunt said the private drive has service walks and that staff is working with multiple property owners to raise the road to a standard that might allow future city acceptance. The committee also confirmed that the buildings will be sprinklered, as sprinklers are required for runs of more than four units.
Staff reported a positive planning staff recommendation and that Planning & Zoning approved the plan on April 16. The committee voted to leave the item on the consent agenda for the council's regular meeting.
Why it matters: the project adds housing supply in an infill location and includes city sewer extension and discussions about potential future city acceptance of a private drive.
What happens next: the site plan will appear on the council consent agenda for formal action; staff will pursue required utility easement and abandonment steps as conditions of final approval.
