Title
Resolution to Approve Liberty Townhomes Site Plan and Development Agreement, 2658 W. Liberty St. (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 9 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of the Liberty Townhomes development, 52 townhomes in nine 3-story buildings on a 4.6-acre site zoned R4B (Multiple-Family Dwelling).
Petition Summary:
* The Site Plan proposes nine 3-story townhome buildings, providing 52 total units, each with a tandem garage underneath. Additional surface parking spaces are provided throughout the site. The development driveway includes a design treatment to direct vehicles to exit right onto W. Liberty but allow large wheel base vehicles (specifically fire trucks and ambulances) to exit left if needed. The driveway approach to South Maple Park, across the street from the proposed development, will be reconstructed as part of the project so that it is farther offset from the Liberty Townhomes driveway.
* A development agreement has been prepared to address reconstruction of the South Maple Park driveway, extending public sidewalk to prevent a gap on the north side of W. Liberty, and a parkland contribution.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of July 7, 2020, recommended approval of this request.
