2. That does allow for duplexes. It's not my client's intent to do duplexes. He does not
want to do duplexes on this site, he wants to do the single-family, you know,
single-family units. If there's another way to do it, certainly that's the way we would go,
however, this is the route that the UDC indicates. Again, you've seen the location map.
You know where we're located. Again, you've seen the concept plan, you know. I'm not
going to plagiarize. I'll just straight up say I stole this from the staff report because it's
much better than the layout that I do. So you can see the -- the multiple zoning districts
that are around the subject property, and we're looking at a density on our property about
5.5 units per acre. The duplexes across the street are about 7.7, up the street is 8.5 and
10. The duplexes further north are 4.5, and the PUD was, like, 6.5. So we're right in line
on the lower side of the density of -- of the other multi-family in the area, but, again, we're
looking for single family. And so what's the purpose, you know, why are we doing that.
Well, we're -- we want to provide affordable small-lot infill cottage-style development. We
want to develop in conjunction with the surrounding area and use a UDC to develop the
tract to the best possible use. We are located within walking distance of Blue Ridge
Elementary. Not too many times do we have new developments come forward that we're
within walking distance. And not only elementary school, but also the middle school,
which is about 950 feet away. We're also about a third of a mile to the MU Healthcare
facility up on Smiley Lane. We're also about a third of a mile away from the future 30
-mile loop that Parks and Recreation is planning around the city. It talked to Parks
yesterday about that, and they have high hopes that that will progress in the near future,
so I'm really excited about that, trying to get that loop completed, but they are -- have
some -- they do have some plans for this area, and we'll be pretty close to it. Now we're
also just about a quarter of a mile, just right down the street from Albert Oakland Park. I
actually met Parks and Rec at that site for some improvements that they want to do, so
Albert Oakland Park, you know, if you're not familiar with it, it's a 75-acre park has a lot of
amenities basically across the street. Again here's our site right in the middle. What's
yellow are the three elementary -- or, excuse me -- three schools, one elementary and
two middle schools, Lang and Oakland, as well as Blue Ridge. We add in the health
care, and then we add in the park facilities, the trail, and then the Oakland Albert -- Albert
Oakland Park in green located there. Again, I think Mr. Zenner talked about it being an
infill development. We don't need to talk about this too much. We're right down the
street from Fire Station 4. No more police is needed. Solid waste already serves the
area, so, you know, we don't have to change routes or anything along those lines. Of
course, adequate utilities for the area, as well. Columbia Imagined supports a plan like
this for various reasons, and then, so, basically, in conclusion, we believe it's appropriate
for the area. It's infill development. You know, it's going to meet all the City standards.
It's going to be a little bit of a process. It's a little bit different than we've taken before in
