Louis Clayton explained that this is a request for review of the site plan associated with the proposed construction of a 3,768-square-foot single-family residence with a below grade, front- loading garage with access from DeMun Avenue. The height of the proposed residence is +/- 22- feet 11-inches as measured from the average existing grade to the mean height of the roof. Ellenwood Subdivision trustee approval has been submitted. The plans show the HVAC units located on the north side of the residence and screened by a cedar fence. Trash will be stored in a 60-square-foot brick trash enclosure located adjacent to the garage, and will be screened by a cedar gate. The existing impervious coverage on site is 25 percent. The new plans increase the impervious coverage to 26 percent, which is below the maximum allowable impervious coverage of 55 percent. The proposed impervious coverage for the required front yard is 30 percent which is below the allowable 45 percent. The existing storm water runoff, according to the MSD 15 year, 20 minute calculation, is 0.64 cubic feet per second (CFS). The proposed runoff is 0.65 CFS, which represents an increase in 0.01 CFS. To mitigate the increase in storm water runoff, the applicant proposes to use pervious pavement for a patio on the east side of the home, at the front walkway, at the driveway and the trash enclosure. The rock base below the pervious pavement has sufficient storage capacity to mitigate the increase in storm water runoff. The Public Works Department has reviewed the proposed storm water mitigation and finds it acceptable. All downspouts are shown to discharge at grade. Staff recommends that all downspouts be piped to pop up bubblers located no closer than 10 feet from any property line. The proposed landscape design features a variety of trees, shrubs, perennials, and ground cover suited for this region. No trees will be removed from the site, and the plan proposes 5-caliper-inches of new deciduous trees including Eastern Redbud and Flowering Dogwood. Two existing street trees totaling 62-caliper-inches and a 36-caliper-inch Sweet Gum on site may be impacted during construction, and are shown to be protected and preserved per City guidelines. The City’s contracted landscape architect is of the opinion that the proposed trees and landscaping are suitable for the site. The site plan states that all driveways, sidewalks, curbs and gutters are to be installed in accordance with the standards prescribed by the Public Works Department. All connections to public utilities are shown on the plans to be installed in accordance with the standards of the Public Works Department. Exterior lighting is proposed at exterior doors and the garage, and will include LED sconces and up-lights. All exterior lights will be below 75 watts. Louis stated that the proposed home is compatible with surrounding homes in the neighborhood. Storm water will be adequately managed on site, and the landscape plan provides for a variety of new trees, shrubs, and groundcover that is suitable for the area. The height, setbacks, and impervious coverage as proposed are in conformance with the requirements of the R-2 Single Family Dwelling District and the project meets the criteria for site plan approval and therefore, staff recommends approval with the following conditions:

located at least 10 feet from any property line, to be approved by staff prior to the issuance of a building permit.
