SP-2018-01 Powell Place Apartments
The plans have been reviewed in accordance with the Town’s applicable development ordinances by the appropriate departments. The proposal is to construct an apartment complex in the Powell Place MUPD which will consist 10 separate apartment buildings as well as a clubhouse. The applicant has proposed a total of 264 units; 84 one-bedroom units, 144 two-bedroom units, and 36 three-bedroom units.
TIA submitted by applicant indicated that the Heydon Row/Millbrook Drive and Powell Place Lane/Millbrook Drive intersections would maintain their current LOS (Level of Service) with the addition of the 264 apartment units.
RS&H review of TIA revealed that the submitted TIA had been performed in accordance with the industry standards and that the results were valid.
To ease current residents’ traffic related concerns, the applicant will be dedicating right of way along the front of their property to allow for better traffic flow with on-street parking.
The Planning Board considered the proposed plans at their meeting on July 9th. The Board found the plans to be satisfactory and recommended approval in a vote of 6-0.
Staff recommends approval of the request, subject to issuance of any additional local and state permits.

SUB-2017-02 Chatham Park Section 5.1 North
The plans have been reviewed in accordance with the Town’s applicable development ordinances by the appropriate departments. The proposal is to subdivide 81.4 acres into 316 lots with an average lot size of 5,064 square feet. This subdivision will include detached single-family residences as well as 70 townhomes located in the southeast pod. A portion of the land has already been annexed; the developer is applying for annexation of the remaining area.
Wendover Parkway was approved by the Board of Commissioners as a part of SUB-2017-03 on December 11, 2017. The preliminary plat included a 30’ streetscape buffer along Wendover Parkway which was required by the Draft Landscape Element at the time. The approved Landscape Element would no longer require the buffer shown in the approved plans for SUB-2017-03; due to this change the applicant has proposed the removal of the streetscape buffer as is shown on the landscape plan for this preliminary plat (SUB-2017-02). Approval of this preliminary plat will amend the previously approved plat for Vine and Wendover Parkway.
