2. To be counted toward the minimum required, private open space may be covered, but cannot be enclosed. Private open space is considered enclosed when the space between a floor, decking, or ground level and a roof structure has more than three sides taller than 42 inches in height. 3. Ground level private open space shall be screened or buffered from adjacent private open space and dwellings by landscape, fencing or partitions. Such screening or buffering shall be a minimum of 30 inches in height. 4. Ground level private open space shall be physically separated from common outdoor open space by fencing or landscaping meeting the EC 9.6210(2) Low Screen Landscape Standard (L-2). Based on the applicant's narrative and building floor plans, each unit will have private open space as required by code. Ground floor units will have patio areas that are 100 square feet (100 square feet required) in size. It appears that all second and third story units will have balconies that range in size from 48 to 60 square feet in size, complying with this standard. The applicant states that all ground level private open space will be screened in accordance with these standards. However, the applicant's landscape plan and site plans do not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate compliance with these standards. Therefore, to ensure compliance with this standard, the following conditions are warranted: 2) Prior to final site plan approval, the applicant shall add compliance with EC 9.5500(9) to their list of standards that will be met at the time of building permit. 3) Prior to the issuance of a building permit, shall submit plans demonstrating compliance with the standards for private open space at EC 9.5500(9)(b). Alternatively, the applicant may obtain approval of an adjustment review in accordance with EC 9.5500(9)(d). Based on these findings, conditions, and future review, the proposed development will comply with these standards. (c) Open Space Credit. An open space credit, not to exceed 25 percent of the total open space requirement, may be applied toward compliance with that requirement, for developments that are located within one-quarter mile of a public park as measured along the route of the shortest existing public way or private street. Based on the amount of open space being provided by the applicant, this provision is not necessary to meet the applicable open space requirements. EC 9.5500(10) Block Requirements. (a) Block Structure. Multiple-family developments 8 or more acres in size shall be developed as a series of complete blocks bounded by public or private streets.
