Special Design Standards and Guidelines: "It is preferred that the internal streets connect Rosewood Drive to the internal that connects to Owens Drive" Comment: We respectfully request that this item be eliminated for all of the reasons outlined under our discussion relative to Item 4),above. b. Special Design Standards and Guidelines: "Buildings should front Owens Drive and be set back a minimum 15'from back of sidewalk". Comment: Due to the increased residential density we request a minimum setback of 10'(as shown on Pg.18,A.3,street cross section)vs. 15'. This helps us accommodate all of the features at the Increased density range,as discussed under Item 4),above. c.
