20200872 Detailed Plan - The Dugout
Motion to approve the attached detailed plan for 45 townhomes at 1468 and 1540
Cobb Parkway North with the following stipulations.
1. The homes in the community shall be traditional in nature and consistent with the
attached house elevations approved by the City of Marietta, dated 5/8/20. Design
features, standards, and requirements incorporated in the homes shall be as follows:
a) Mixture of materials with material changes taking place on the interior corners or
where roof massing accommodates the change of materials.
b) Window muntins appropriate to the style of the home on all four sides of the
residence.
c) Shutters deemed appropriate by the architecture on front and side elevations (and
on the rear elevations where they can be seen from the public streets) of the homes.
d) Mixture of the materials to continue, as appropriate onto the side and rear
elevations.
e) There shall be a maximum of 20 feet horizontally and vertically between
architectural fenestration elements (windows, false shutters, change of material, etc.)
per heated floor space. This will eliminate large expanses of a single material without a
break and add architectural interest to the elevations.
f) In the event of a disagreement as to being four-sided architecture, the City
Manager of the City of Marietta, GA shall be the final arbiter of the plan meeting the
criteria.
2. The townhouses shall be “for sale” only, and no more than five percent (5%) of all
the houses townhouses within the residential development shall be allowed to be
renter occupied at any time. A recital of this requirement shall be contained within the
covenants to ensure enforcement. In addition, the homeowner’s association or other
governing body is hereby charged with the responsibility of enforcing this regulation
on all homeowners and owners of lots and property in the development. The
homeowner’s association shall enforce this regulation to ensure compliance with city
ordinances with both the initial owner of the property as well as all subsequent
owners. Failure of the homeowner’s association to require and achieve compliance
may result in a civil penalty by the City of Marietta against the homeowner’s
association in the amount of $500.00.
3. The active amenity for the townhomes will be located in Hamilton Grove per the
attached email from J. Kevin Moore dated 10/27/2020.
4. Variance to reduce the open space area from 1.68 acres (25%) to 1.26 acres
(14.9%). [§708.09 (H)]
5. Variance to waive the passive amenity feature. [§708.09 (2.i)]
