Page 2 of 2 <br /> . 44th Street and Country Club Road <br /> � June 7, 2001 <br /> gated for limited access. All circulation drives and parking would be privately owned and <br /> maintained. <br /> 4. The petitioner proposes to capture storm water from the development into a private storm sewer <br /> system that flows into the detention basin at the north end of the property. 'The detention basin � <br /> would then outlet into the existing public storm sewer. <br /> STAFF ANALYSIS <br /> 5. The petitioner proposes to create a density of approximately 1 dwelling unit per 7,100 square feet <br /> of gross area. Staff finds the proposed density to be of low-density for multiple dwelling <br /> development and generally consistent with the density of the surrounding area. Under current <br /> zoning on the site, a total of 15 single family units could be constructed, creating a density of 1 <br /> dwelling unit per 9,900 square feet of gross area. Existing utility services are adequate to <br /> provide service to the proposed development. I <br /> 6. Property owners in the vicinity have expressed concern regarding the amount of traffic generated I <br /> by the proposed development. The table below presents data regarding traffic generation: <br /> Zoning Allowable Average Daily Trips per Total Generated <br /> District Units A) Dwellin Unit B * Tri s AxB I <br /> Single Famil Detached R-2 15 9.57 143.55 <br /> Residential Condominium/ R-3 21 5.86 123.06 <br /> Townhouse <br /> *Tri Generation 6th Edition,Institute of Trans ortation En ineers <br /> As the table illustrates,the proposed multiple family use will actually generate fewer trips per <br /> day than a single family use. Staff has consulted the City Engineer regarding traffic generation <br /> from the site and has confirmed that the proposed use will not generate a noticeable impact on <br /> traffic counts along 44th Street,which currently carries approximately 550 vehicles per day. <br /> Staff is also of the opinion that Country Club Road would be insufficient for ingress/egress to the <br /> site based on site distance issues associated with that section of the roadway. <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION � <br /> 7. Staff finds the proposed use to be consistent with the goals of the Decatur Urban Area Land Use <br /> Plan. Further, staff believes that the proposed development will enhance the area. Based on the <br /> above analysis, staff recommends approval of the petition as submitted. <br /> The above report constitutes the testimony and recommendation of the Planning Division, Economic <br /> and Urban Development Department, City of Decatur. <br /> Dane C.
