� There should be very minimal impact W sucrounding propecties cau�ed by ��f str�t parivne in the proposcd developmeet because the distanoe from the new alge of pavement of Highway Plaa to the first peridng scall is approuimately 21'-6" with a landscaped setback area of 16'-3" along the Highway PLa strxt frontaee. The Pro'P� P�Jact also provides 548 square feet of interior landsc�pin� and �dditional la�,dsc�pin� adjaanc co pcdesc�ian walkways and betwan �he pulong la and buildings.

Stacldng the unin provides more usable open spacx on tha site Uecause the nnits are not u sprad out. Also, bxause there are more units on the site, the amount of open spacx is incrased. The amount of opa� spaa required for 20 units is 3000 square feec. The minimum dimmsion of each open sp�ce is 30' for devdopments c�ntainin6 20 or more units. Bu;ause of the reladvely small area of the subjcct site (120' x 250'), the applicant is pmposing to reducx �he minimum dimension of the opai spaa acra on sice. It should be noted that if the applicant were proposing w c�nstrucc ninetan (19) units versus twenry (20) units, the minimum dimension for the on-site oprn sp�oe would be twa►ty (20) feet. Also, since the opai spaoe is adjacxnt to landscaped setback ares, the minimum dima►sions are forty (40) fat and twenty-four (24) feet. 6. .j%rhe development p►nPosu gnater buifding height than pnmined by the zor�r. in whieh the property is loca�, das the incneose in building height su6stantially i,npoet the vitws or privacy ojabutting r�esidentielly mned proptrtiu? There are no adjacxnt buildings that will be impacted by an incresse in building height. A height incrr,ase is beneficial w the project because the ovetall massing and density allows three (3) levels of units next oo the golf course while maint�ining pitched roofs. A 10:12 slope for the dormers is compafible with the surroundine fir uas and the floor-to-ailing heights are spacious. Even with the proposed height increa�e, the buildings are still less then the 45' maximum height limit in the R-3 zone. The abutting pmpecties are h+'u undevelopod lots in R-3 mnes and the golf course (R-1). Although the lots are undeveloped, the proposed height increase will not negadvely impact their views to eitha the street or the goff course. As previously indicated, the mauimum building height for mul6ple family dwellings in an R-3 zone is 4S'. However, sina th� project site is adjaant to an R-1 zone, the heights are limited W 28' when located within 50' of the R-1 sone and 35' wha► located �7
