60 ENVISION FRANKLIN | Design Concepts FORM Building Character (continued) Detached garages and attached garages that face the side or rear are encouraged over attached, front-facing garages for single-family residential development. If attached, front-facing garages are proposed, the garage should be recessed from the front facade of the dwelling. Development inside Mack Hatcher Parkway: The small-town identity of the area should be preserved through special attention to massing and scale of new developments. Infill developments should be designed so that duplexes resembling single-family dwellings are located on the periphery in order to transition to existing single-family neighborhoods. Building Height Maximum of three stories. New buildings on the periphery of developments should appear to be within one-half story of surrounding building heights in order to ensure compatibility. Lot Size Development should be designed so that single-family dwellings, or, in some cases, duplexes, are located on the periphery in order to transition to existing single-family neighborhoods. The lot and yard sizes along the periphery of the development should be consistent with those of existing adjacent lots. Smaller, single-family lots, big houses, duplexes, and townhouses may be located internally within new developments and should be served by active park amenities within walking distance. For new development outside of Mack Hatcher Parkway, single-family lots should include a range of lot sizes. The following are recommended minimums, but lot sizes should vary to provide more diverse housing options. Larger developments are expected to have a wide range of sizes: Lots with dwellings having attached garages that face the front, side, or rear should have a minimum width of 65 feet and a minimum lot size of 7,150 square feet. Lots with dwellings having front-facing detached garages should have a minimum width of 50 feet and a minimum lot size of 5,500 square feet. Lots with single-family dwellings accessed by alleys should have a minimum lot width of 40 feet and a minimum lot size of 4,000 square feet. However, if infrastructure, drainage, and parking concerns are adequately addressed, up to 15% of the total number of residential units could be on narrower lots with a reduced minimum lot size as long as they are interspersed throughout the proposed development. For redevelopment and infill development inside of Mack Hatcher Parkway, duplex or single-family lots located on the exterior of a development should be a minimum of 6,500 square feet.
