ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

 

The plat consists of a total of 76 “ranch row” townhome residential lots for development on 12.57 acres.  Plat 6 is a phase of the larger Carman Estates PUD (Planned Unit Development), containing a mixture of residential living options, from single family to townhome to condominium.  The “postage stamp” townhome lots vary in size from 2,964 sq. ft. to 3,510 sq. ft.

 

The subdivision is served by a series of 22 ft. wide private drives (on-street parking not allowed by private association covenant) with access to a public street via two connections to SE 24th Street.  The maintenance and repair of said private drives will be the responsibility of a homeowner’s association for this development.  A 50 ft. wide public ingress/egress, water main and public utility easement provides public access to infrastructure serving this development.

 

The previous Council plat approval on September 10, 2007, expired 30 days after conditional approval was granted.
