Project Information
COF Project Number: 7109
Applicant: Greg Gamble, Gamble Design Collaborative
Owner: Marvin H. Pratt
Background/Staff Comments
The requested zoning for the parcels is Specific Development-Residential (SD-R). Envision Franklin places Area A in the Single-Family Design Concept and Area B in the Conservation Subdivision Design Concept.
Envision Franklin places the northern most property in the Single-Family Design Concept.
“Single-Family Residential consists of single-family residential neighborhoods, which provide a range of single-family dwelling and lot sizes. New developments should transition from the existing development patterns in the adjacent neighborhoods.”
Envision Franklin places the southern property into the Conservation Subdivision Design Concept.
“Conservation Subdivision supports primarily single-family residential development that clusters lots and infrastructure and sets aside a substantial amount of property as permanently protected open space in its natural state. New development should preserve a minimum of 50 percent open space, strategically targeted toward scenic vistas, greenways, pastures, trails, woodlands, or other uses that maintain scenic character, protect habitat value, and contribute to the quality of life for residents.”
The request for SD-R zoning is appropriate based on the Envision Franklin concepts described. The density request of 2.74 supports clustering the lots and creating a diversity in dwelling and lot sizes.
Project Considerations
Project Considerations are not conditions of this approval, but are intended to highlight issues that should be considered in the overall site design or may be required when more detailed plans are submitted for review. These items are not meant to be exhaustive and all City requirements and ordinances must be met with each plan submittal.
The associated development plan does include lots that are smaller than what could be supported with Envision Franklin, which ultimately increases the density of the project, However, the intent of the density request is to be a maximum for a development. It should be understood that, as plans are further refined in the site plan stage, overall density may be reduced in order for the plan to meet all city ordinances and standards.
