0083. Staff recommends review of legal access to the remaining area of tax parcel 004000 -0094 be included in the review of the Public Works permit for Phase I. The sequence of the development project is included on the Site Plan, Sheet Al (Attachment D). Constriction of Phase I is expected to start in Spring /Summer of 2012. All phases shall receive final subdivision approval within 5 years unless an extension is granted. Constriction of the individual townhouse units shall meet the time requirements of each stricture's building permit. 3. Both Phase I and Phase II meet pertinent development standards on their own, with the exception of rear yard landscaping requirements along the southern boundary of Phase L Staff recommends a new condition of approval of the preliminary subdivision to require that plans for Phase I be revised as part of the Public Works permit to provide space for 10 feet of Type I rear yard landscaping on the south side of the new Phase I sidewalk located along the south property line. 4. Each phase of the project will include adequate utilities. Phase I does not include any guest parking spaces. There is no parking allowed in the shared garage access areas to maintain garage access for residents, there is no on- street parking allowed on the 20 -foot wide private street serving Phase I of Osterly Park Townhomes, and there is no on- street parking on S. 144 Street. In order to maintain adequate vehicle circulation and emergency vehicle access, staff recommends a condition of approval to require a minimum of two guest parking spaces be added to Phase I. These spaces can be added to the south side of the site, and shall be removed at such time as the private access drive is extended as part of Phase 11. The addition of the guest parking spaces and the rear yard landscaping may require revisions to the lot or tract layout as shown in the preliminary subdivision survey. Staff recommends the design of the design of these spaces and any necessary changes to the survey be reviewed as part of the Public Works constriction permit for Phase I.
