6. Summary of Deviations: 

1. The subject property contains an existing nonconforming Pylon Sign. The current pylon sign area is 314.9 square feet and the applicant requests to add an additional 49.1 square feet to the pylon sign resulting in a total sign area of 364 square-feet. The maximum allowed area of a pylon sign is 150 square feet. The existing height is 39-foot and 3.5 inches tall. The GDC requires the maximum height to be 22-feet. The applicant requests to legally establish the existing height of the sign to allow the sign 17 feet, 3.5 inches greater than the allowed height. 
    
2. The GDC requires the setback to be a minimum of twenty (20) feet from property or right-of-way line. The setback of the pylon sign from any property line or right-of-way line is forty-three (43) feet. Therefore, the pylon sign complies with the setback.

In addition, all supports for a pylon sign must be constructed of masonry products (or be constructed in such a manner as to have the appearance of masonry (however, stucco construction is not allowed). The applicant will paint the support structure, but does not intend to reconstruct with masonry material. The applicant requests to maintain the existing metal material.
    
4. Following the Plan Commission meeting, the applicant has proposed a Planned Development (PD) condition prohibiting the sign to converting to an electronic programmable sign.

5. Summary Table:

1. Development and Site  Plan
   The applicant requests the development of forty-eight (48) multi-family dwelling units on an unimproved property. The development will consist of two (2) buildings as outlined on the site plan (Exhibit C in the Detail Plan agenda item).
    
2. Parking
   The GDC requires eight-four (84) parking spaces for this proposal. The site layout shows eighty-five (85) parking spaces. Additionally, fifty (50%) percent of the required parking spaces must be covered. The applicant proposes forty-five (45) covered parking spaces. Therefore, the applicant complies with the parking requirements.
    
3. Building  Placement
   Section 2.39 (G) of the GDC states “Where there are multiple MF structures located within a development, a minimum of fifty percent of the structures that are located within one hundred feet of, or visible from, any public right-of-way must be positioned where the structures' facades are at an angle of at least thirty degrees to the street right-of-way line. The intent of this provision is to avoid the external appearance of long and monotonous building alignments from adjacent property”. The applicant does not propose to locate any building at a minimum of thirty (30) degrees angle from Marvin Loving Drive. Due to the proposed small-scale development, the buildings will not be relatively long. Therefore, it should not create an external appearance of long and monotonous.
    
4. Building  Separation
   Section 2.39(G)(2) states that all portions of a multi-family dwelling structure must be a minimum of twenty (20) feet from other multifamily dwelling structures, or any portions thereof. The site layout complies with this requirement.
    
5. Density
   The maximum density required per the GDC for a multi-family development is eighteen (18) dwelling units per acre. The applicant requests the density at twenty-five (25) units per acre given the limited size of the site.
    
6. Carports
   Section 2.60(A)(4) of the GDC states that carports must be supported by columns that are architecturally integrated and are similar to the colors of the main building. The applicant requests to deviate to allow metal with no masonry columns to maximize space for motorists and avoid maintenance issues from damaged masonry. The carports would have a roof design that ties into the roofs of the main buildings. Additionally, the carports will include masonry siding extending from the grade approximately four and a half (4 ½) feet from the base of the carport and on three (3) sides. The carport support poles at the ends of the carports will be clad in the siding material at the same height (4 ½ feet) although the poles in the remainder of the carports will be metal poles without cladding.
   
   In addition, Section 2.60(A)(5) states that each carport structure cannot have more than ten (10) parking stalls under each roof structure. The applicant proposes three (3) carport structures. Two (2) carport structures will have twelve (12) parking stalls and the third structure will have nine (9) parking stalls.
    
7. Amenities

• Clubhouse: Section 2.39 (I) states that a minimum 2,500 square-foot clubhouse must be constructed on site and made available to all residents. Given the limited scale of development, there would not be a clubhouse. A leasing office will not be provided on the property. Most office correspondence and services will be handled on-line in addition to an on-site resident manager to handle day-to-day issues and routine maintenance.
   
• Swimming Pool: One swimming pool having a minimum of eight hundred square feet of surface water must be provided for each multi-family development. The request is to deviate and not provide a swimming pool. There are additional leisure areas with grilling stations and shade structures on the site layout. Moreover, the applicant contends the limited scaled development makes alternative amenities more practical than providing a swimming pool.
   
• Leisure Areas: One leisure area having a minimum area of one thousand square feet, containing at least two (2) pieces of play equipment, or other outdoor amenities (such as, picnic areas with tables, barbeque pits, arbors, or gazebos) must be provided for each multi-family development. The applicant will comply with this requirement by providing playground equipment, four (2) grilling station, benches, outdoor seating, three (3) gazebos and a dog park.
   

8. Dwelling unit/mix
   The submittal materials indicate compliance with the required unit size and mix.  More specifically:

9. Screening and  Landscaping
   The proposed landscape layout (Exhibit D) complies with the applicable screening and landscape regulations of the GDC. Although screening is not required for this particular development, the applicant proposes a six (6)-foot ornamental metal fence along Marvin Loving Drive and a six (6)-foot wood fence around the remaining perimeter of the property.
    
10. Building Design
    The building design complies with the architectural elements and articulation requirements of the GDC.

• At least six (6) architectural elements must be incorporated into the design of the building. The north, south, east and west facades meet the GDC requirement.
• Street-facing elevations should be horizontally and vertically articulated on street-facing facades. The articulation of the building meets the GDC standards.
