§ 2.06.07. Town houses.

To encourage and facilitate attractive design of town housing, the following general set of standards shall be used by the planning and architectural review board in reviewing plans for such development. (See Attachment Two of this ordinance for illustration of the application of these general principles.)

1.

The area per dwelling unit shall not be less than the minimum permitted in the district as set forth in the schedule of lot, yard and bulk regulations of this ordinance.

2.

The minimum lot depth shall be ninety (90) feet, the minimum lot area shall be ten thousand (10,000) square feet and the maximum lot coverage shall be forty (40) percent for the building group.

3.

No less than four (4) town houses shall be located within a building group and no interconnection or vertical overlapping between individual dwelling units shall be permitted.

4.

Each building group shall have provided, on the overall lot, access to the interior of the block with at least one (1) such access for each fifteen (15) town houses or portion thereof.

5.

Each interior individual town house lot not having a street front access shall have a minimum access easement of ten (10) feet provided along the rear property line of such lot.

6.

If commonly owned open space and/or facilities are provided, any maintenance organization shall need the following requirements for commonly owned open space:

a.

The planning and architectural review board may require that the developer provide for and establish an organization for the ownership and maintenance of any common open space. All legal documents creating this organization are subject to the review and approval of the planning and architectural review board and the city attorney for the City of Flagler Beach.

b.

In the event that the organization established to own and maintain open space, or any successor organization shall at any time after the establishment of the common open space, fail to maintain the common open space in reasonable order and condition in accordance with the final plan of development, the appropriate city commission body may serve written notice upon such organization and/or owners or residents of the development and hold a public hearing to determine any deficiencies. If deficiencies of maintenance are not corrected within thirty (30) days after such notice and hearing, the city commission shall call upon any public or private agency to maintain the common open space for a period of one (1) year. When the city commission determines that the subject organization is not prepared or able to maintain the common open space, such public or private agency shall continue maintenance for yearly periods.

c.

The cost of such maintenance by such agency shall be assessed proportionally against the properties within the development that have a right of enjoyment of the common open space and shall become due and payable at the office of the city clerk on a date to be determined by the city commission at the public hearing. All such liens shall be of the same nature and to the same extent as liens for general local taxes and be collectible in the same manner with the same fees, interest and penalties for default in payment and under the same provisions as to sale and forfeiture as apply to general local taxes.
