Use Permit 03-19-5257 is a request to develop 66 single-family attached units in a duplex condominium configuration and associated improvements including common area and private front yard landscaping in the neighborhood known as "Oreste". Sixty-two of the units are designed as "front loaded duplex" homes, where each home's front door and attached garage is located off a common alley/drive aisle, predominantly in an eight-unit clustered configuration. Four units facing Denali are designed as a conventional single-family duplex with attached garages oriented toward the street. The proposal includes a total of 8 court enclaves. Seven enclaves are comprised of 8 dwelling units, and 1 enclave is comprised of 6 dwelling units. For enhanced architectural curb appeal and a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood, the Plan 2 unit has been designed with the front door elevation oriented along the frontage streets, Siena and Denali.
