A. Townhouse Concept Plan, Located North of the North/Atlantic Intersection — A
company called Redwood hopes to develop a single-story townhouse development
north of North Avenue at Atlantic. Commercial development along the north side of
North Avenue would be developed by the property owner. The residential concept is
up for discussion tonight.
Mr. Paul DeKruiff shared a presentation to the members of the proposed concept plan,
which features a single-story rental townhouse development of between 160 to 175
units. The townhomes will range in size from 1,300 to 1,600 square feet and would
cater to young professionals and empty nesters. All townhomes would be available for
long-term rent and would consist of two beds, two baths, a 2-car garage and a patio.
Their company would take care of exterior maintenance.
Questions were asked and answered regarding the number of units per building, speed
limit enforcement, potential buffering along North Avenue, visitor parking, driveway
depths, green space and sprinkler requirements.
Alderman Stout indicated that if the project were to move forward, she would like to
see the units never be sold individually but rather as a whole.
All of the members voiced their support of the concept.
6. Unfinished Business. None.
7. New Business. None.
