Background
Centra Homes is requesting to update an existing CUP by constructing townhomes consistent with existing approvals in the Lakes of Radisson 24th and 31st Additions. The applicant, Centra Homes, has recently purchased Lots 9 and 10, Block 1 The Lakes of Radisson 31st and Lots 5 and 15, Block 1 The Lakes of Radisson 24th Addition. The existing adjacent neighborhoods were developed in 2005 and 2006.
Centra Homes will build substantially the same buildings that were approved in the original development. The townhomes will be updated to meet current building code requirements. The buildings will be constructed of a combination of vinyl siding, shakes, and brick.
A 5 unit “rear loaded” townhome (approximately 1,800 finished s.f.) will be built on Lot 5 Block 1, The Lakes of Radisson 24th Addition. The three other lots will have a 4 unit “front loaded” building (approximately 1,250 finished s.f.)
The new townhomes will have interior fire sprinklers installed as required by the Building/Fire Code.
The new buildings will have perimeter foundation plantings, sod, and irrigation to match the existing buildings. In addition, Centra Homes has included a landscape plan for the two larger open spaces that are adjacent to these lots. The landscape plan includes irrigation, sod, shrubs, and trees.
The applicant has met with the respective homeowner associations and will continue to work closely with the HOA to insure a smooth transition of adding additional homes to their neighborhoods.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
