A Developarer:t Progrmn for the US 70 Business Property <br />In keeping with the comprehensive land use plan suggested above, we propose a mix of <br />residential uses on our 119-acre site, and offer non-residential uses along our site's US 70- <br />Business frontage (please see Attachment `E'). We believe that the Town's Entranceway <br />Special Use zoning district is the best vehicle to achieve our development program, allowing a <br />Special Use Permit to cover the entire site and to address important site-specific details. <br />Our conceptual development program is described in more detail as follows: <br />- Charleston Homes -These detached homes on small lots are proposed to follow the <br />traditional Charleston style, including side porches and small courtyards (please see <br />Attachment `F'). In addition to their unigae architecture, garages aze provided off of <br />rear alleys, further enhancing the aesthetic appeal of these homes. We have placed <br />these units on some of the flattest land on our site, and they are proposed to be visible <br />along both enttance roads into the site. <br />- Townhomes -These attached homes are proposed in groups of four and five along <br />the southern edge of the property (adjacent to the mixed use zone). These units will <br />provide great opportunity far first-time home buyers, as well as retirees. A greenway <br />trail is envisioned between these units and the future mixed use azea to the south. <br />- Single-Family Lots - We provide two different sizes of single-family lots throughout <br />the development. The smaller lots aze generally 65 feet wide by 125 feet in depth, <br />providing ample room for a typical single-family detached home. The lazger lots are <br />typically 85 feet wide by 140 feet in depth, providing additional space for lazger <br />single-family detached homes. <br />- Recreation Center - A neighborhood recreafion center, tentatively including a <br />clubhouse, outdoor pool, tot lot and tennis court, is proposed to provide social and <br />recreational opportunities for residents. We envision that these seasonal outdoor <br />recreational opportunities will serve to complement the yeaz-round indoor <br />recreational opportunities and programs that aze provided by the neighboring Triangle <br />SpartsPlex facility across US 70. For that matter, due to the close proximity between <br />this site and the Triangle SportsPlex, we envision that the proposed neighborhood <br />will provide a healthy number of addifional patrons to support this existing <br />recreational facility. <br />- Mixed-Use Buildine - In order to initiate the suggested mixed-use tone for the <br />northern edge of the US 70-Business entranceway corridor, W & W Partners <br />proposes to provide a two-story 20,000 squaze foot building along the property's US <br />70-Business frontage. The proposed mixed-use building would be vertically mixed <br />with the opporhmity for limited retail uses on the first floor, and office uses on the <br />second floor. The building would front on US 70-Business, providing an attractive <br />fapade far drivers while also screening pazking that would be located behind the <br />building. <br />US 70-Business Property-Conceptual Devclopmrnt Program <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
