After approving Lee Park Townhomes, the Planning Commission reflected on the results of the new T-Zone code – expensive and dense housing, little tree canopy onsite, consideration for inadequate stormwater drains.
The Lee Park Townhomes’ first review at the Planning Commission meeting. Positive design reviews were mixed with worries about the inadequacies of the storm drains and sewers for denser development and lack of affordable housing.
Lee Park townhomes, on a 0.69ac site on the corner of N Lee St and Park Avenue, is a 20-unit Madison Homes project. This by-right development sits in an area known to have inadequate stormwater infrastructure for the existing buildings. The City requires a runoff rate reduction without specifying any amount.
