preliminary PD plan approval of the Market Place/commercial area along 53rd Street and 58`h Avenue, the applicant must submit and receive staff approval of a sign package that reflects a consistent aesthetic theme for the project. 19. Streetscape Improvements: Streetscape improvements are important elements of TND Policy 18.1. Those elements include street trees,on-street parking,hardscape improvements(such as street furniture, streetlights, and planters), and wide sidewalks. Consistent with Policy 18.1, streetscape improvements need to be provided throughout the development. As part of each preliminary PD plan approval,the applicant will be required to submit and obtain approval of a streetscape plan that meets TND Policy 18.1 criteria. Along the northern project perimeter, the applicant is proposing to culvert a portion of the IRFWCD ditch located on the south side of 53rd Street. The section of ditch to be culverted runs from 58`h Avenue to the project's westernmost 53rd Street driveway connection. While not required,that culverting is proposed to enhance the streetscape for the northern project access. 20. TND Architectural Requirements: As part of the preliminary PD plan for each project phase, a detailed site plan that addresses architectural issues will be required. For any of the single- family areas, a plan book of all models proposed in that area must be submitted with the preliminary PD plan to ensure that the layouts meet the TND criteria of Policy 18.1 and the conditions of this report. The plan book will contain a typical floor plan of the unit and architectural elevations of all building sides. During the life of the project, the applicant is (W allowed to change and develop new models, subject to aesthetic criteria and staff approval. 21. Planned Development Waivers and Modifications: The types of units and waivers proposed for Providence Pointe are typical for TND communities. As proposed, the Providence Pointe plan is based largely on the design concepts of the Baldwin Park TND located in Orlando,some sections of Charleston, as well as the Windsor development here in Indian River County. The proposed zoning dimensional modifications are provided in detail in attachment#4 of this staff report. In general, the zoning dimensional modifications allow for a more compact form of development with greater concentration of open space. Specifically,lot sizes will be reduced to a range of 1,100 sq. ft (22' x 50') to 9,500 sq. ft. to provide for a variety of housing types, including Townhomes,Livework units,Courtyard homes,Golf Cottages,Sideyard homes,and Estate Homes. The setbacks will be reduced to facilitate those specific types of homes. In addition,the dimensional modifications provide specific setbacks for secondary structures like garages and other structures, such as arcades, balconies, porches, step terraces, and stoops, customarily found with the proposed architectural style. The dimensional modifications are necessary to implement the development design as proposed. Traffic Engineering and Emergency Services have agreed with the applicant regarding modifications to roadway design standards for the project. Those modifications affect right-of-way width,intersection radii,and intersection alignments,and are necessary to facilitate the proposed roadway layout which is key to creating a Traditional Neighborhood Design project. Those proposed modifications allow for (W more pedestrian friendly designs,flexible building placement, and a more compact human scale. The agreed-to modifications are listed in attachment#5.
