Revised Detailed Plan - Meeting Park Motion to approve the Revised Detailed Plan for Meeting Park, so as to include parcels identified as 66, 72 and 109 Waddell Street. These parcels shall be subject to the variances and stipulations, identified below, that were approved by the original Detailed Plan for Meeting Park, which included the land plan, landscape plan and architectural renderings, signed by the owner and dated September 11, 2013, in accordance with Section 708.20(J.4) of the Marietta City Code: The approved Detailed Plan shall include the following variances: 1. Variance to reduce the minimum right of way width required for a local, two-lane street from 50 ft. to a minimum of 22 ft.(back of curb to back of curb); with a utilities/access easement of 36 ft. measured from edge easement to edge of easement . [730.01(L)] a. The access easement will extend to the back of sidewalk and any required public ADA access locations. b. The utility easement will extend 5 feet beyond the location of any utility lines. c. (This variance is for new streets and will not apply to 66, 72 and 019 Waddell Street.) 2. Variance to reduce the minimum width of a sidewalk from 5 feet to 4 feet, but will be required to expand to 5 feet at certain locations to meet ADA requirements. [732.07(C)] 3. Variance to provide street trees only along the public streets as shown on the submitted plans. [712.08] 4. Variance to allow trees in right of way, as shown on the submitted plans. [712.08(D)] 5. (Minor changes to the landscape plan, including location and change of species, may be made only upon approval of the City Arborist.) In order to ensure that homes built within the Meeting Park development are built consistent with the 4-Sided Architecture definition, the following language shall be adopted: 1. The homes in the community shall be traditional in nature, and consistent with the house elevations submitted and signed by John Wieland Homes and approved by the City of Marietta, dated September 11, 2013. 2. Design features, standards, and requirements incorporated in the homes shall be as follows: a. Mixture of materials with material changes taking place on the interior corners or where roof massing accommodates the change of materials. b. Window muntins appropriate to the style of the home on all four sides of the residence. c. Shutters deemed appropriate by the architect on front and side elevations (and on the rear elevations where they can be seen from the public streets) of the homes. d. Mixture of the materials to continue, as appropriate onto the side and rear elevations. e. There shall be a maximum of 20 feet horizontally and vertically between architectural fenestration elements (windows, false shutters, change of material, etc.) per heated floor space. This will eliminate large expanses of a single material without a break and add architectural interest to the elevations. f. In the event of a disagreement as to being four-sided architecture, the City Manager of the City of Marietta, GA shall be the final arbiter of the plan meeting the criteria.
