Project Information
COF Project Number: 7037
Applicant: Greg Gamble, Gamble Design Collaborative
Owner: Bettie Carol White
Background/Staff Comments
The applicant has submitted a development plan for the property located north of Mallory Station and east of Sunrise Circle. The parcel currently has a single-family use. The Envision Franklin Land Use Plan places this property in the Multifamily Residential Design Concept. Envision Franklin states:
“The Multifamily Residential Design Concept provides for a range of housing types both for sale and for rent options across a range of price points.
Buildings…, should be sited or designed to create public spaces… that are easily accessible from adjacent streets or sidewalks.
Dwellings within new developments should provide an appropriate mix of cohesive architectural styles and building materials that enhance the City’s character. Architecture should contain a rich blending of designs that complement each other yet not be overly repetitive.”
The applicant has proposed a townhome development consisting of 89 attached residential units and 7 open space lots. The plan largely meets the recommendations of Envision Franklin by creating formal public spaces with a variety of architectural styles. The overall layout maintains alley-loaded residences and establishes a vehicular connection to Avenida of Cool Springs.
Another main objective of the Multifamily Residential Design Concept is to maintain the context and established character of existing neighborhoods and surrounding areas through transitional features. The applicant has responded to this by limiting the height of adjacent structures to the Morningside Subdivision to two stories.
Project Considerations
The development plan has outstanding information on how the site will be served by sewer. City staff has had several discussions with the applicant on how best to achieve this, however no sewer plan was submitted with the development plan. The applicant will be required to comply staff’s conditions of approval regarding the sewer plan that best serves the site.
Recommendation
recommendation
