The project site is approximately 6 acres, of which approximately 1.5 to 2 acres consist of wetland/wetlands buffer, or pending anticipated street dedication. The project consists of a balanced mix of One Bedroom one bathroom units, Two Bedroom two bathroom units, and Three Bedroom two bathroom units, with actual unit count/mix dependent upon issues encountered during design, including findings from our development issues meetings. The housing units are undefined as to any affordable component. The developer is open to discussion on affordable components should incentives be available to make such feasible. In absence of any affordable component, the project must be feasible on its own market rate merits to be able to obtain necessary financial support. A dedication of land for widening of 67th street is anticipated and accounted for in our preliminary design. The project site contains delineated wetlands, with a DSL and COE acceptance in 2018. The proposed design requires fill of some lower quality wetlands, we are preparing for a joint fill permit application that we hope to have submitted by end of August. We are targeting wetlands issues resolution with state and federal regulatory agencies to be completed first quarter 2021, and hope that such timeline can accommodate any supplemental City requirements affecting wetlands fill within city limits. The development team anticipates ground breaking in spring of 2021, with units fully on line by summer 2022. Specific Questions we are seeking answers to 1. Permitting time frames. We are concerned about hidden layers of permits and approvals required. We are aware of site plan approval requirements by the City. We are aware of regulatory agency approvals related to wetlands. And we understand the final building permit process. We are needing to determine what other submittals may be required along the permitting process. We are attempting to develop an outright zoned multifamily project and hoping with existing land use compliance this wouldn't be a year long process to obtain a building permit. 2. Setbacks from neighbors and Wetlands. We are looking for clarification on setback language for both wetlands and adjacent parcels. Definitions related to setbacks from adjacent owners are clear, but we are looking for clarification of uses of adjacent properties as that affects the terms of the setbacks. In addition, setbacks from wetlands are confusing. Can utilities be installed in wetlands setbacks, since the earthwork and restorations are not within defined wetlands? 3. Tree Preservation and replacement. The site contains mature trees, we anticipate efforts to retain as many trees as possible both for prudent development practice as well as an amenity feature for our residents. We will however be removing a fair amount of trees in order to make development of the site feasible. We are looking for clarity on code interpretation of tree preservation requirements. 4. Design Standards. The development code has multifamily dwelling design standards that are mutually exclusive to some degree. Example being: attempting to meet street frontage requirements in our site design, while also meeting minimum density requirements of MDR zoning. We note that there is a code section 3.2-250 "Alternative design discretionary criteria" that it would be helpful to have explained in detail, especially interpretations, and how those can be used to allow our most feasible site layout to be realized. 5. System Development Fees and Charges. Are there any incentive programs to dampen the unusually high SDC charges? SDC charges have been an impediment to development of this property for 10 years. We are attempting to make this project feasible, but for the past 10 years, no market rate multifamily developer has been able to successfully pull off an apartment complex of any size in Springfield. Is the City serious about supporting housing development? Can the City or other assessing agencies consider deferral of some fees until actual occupancy, or even better, have longer term abatements?
