6. Description of Project: (Include site area, uses, size and number of buildings,
parking, number of dwelling units, scheduling, and any other information necessary
or helpfu] to understand project. This attached description must be complete and
accurate. Exhibits or photographs should be identified and attached,)
The Project Site is located within the southernmost parcel of what was
previously known as the Fairway Ranch project. It is located within the City
of Dublin and is bordered by Keegan Street to the west, Dublin Blvd. to the
south, Maguire Way to the north and Lockhart Street to the east. Current
land uses surrounding the project include an existing 304-unit family
apartments project to the north, existing high-density residential units to the
west (the Terraces at Dublin Ranch Villages), land zoned for Campus Office
uses to the south and land zoned for Medium Density Residential to the east.
The Project Site consists of approximately 8.8 gross acres (6.4 net acres).
The Project Site is currently vacant, but recently served as the staging area for
the family and senior apartments project that is under construction to the
north. There are no permanent structures in place on the property. The site is
generally rectangular in shape and is surrounded by existing streets on all four
sides. The southern half of the site has a 5'+/- high embankment around the
perimeter behind the current right-of-way that creates a flat pad for the
majority of the site. The average existing slope across the site is typically under
1 %. In the southern portion of the site, along Dublin Blvd. and the southern
stretches of Keegan and Lockhart Streets, there is a four- to five-foot-high
embankment as the grading transitions from the flat pad area to the sidewalks
on the already constructed streets.
The Development Plan for this project proposes 304 units of High Density
Residential condominiums (278 flats, 4 townhomes and 22 live-work units) on
approximately 8.8 gross acres. Residential densities (34.6 du/ac gross and 47.8
du/ac net) proposed for the Sycamore Grove project fall within the ranges
permitted by the HDR residential category as specified in the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan and General Plan.
The Sycamore Grove condominium project is comprised of two podium
buildings as well as several separate buildings containing attached live/work
units and/or townhomes. The western podium building will be built as part of
Phase One and has two levels of subterranean parking and up to four stories of
residential flats. There are a total of 135 units within this building consisting of
one, two and three bedroom flats as well as one, two and three bedroom flats
with lofts. The eastern podium building will be built in Phase Two and will
have two floors of subterranean parking and up to four stories of residential
flats. The eastern podium will have a total of 143 units of one, two and three
bedroom units as well as one, two and three bedroom flats with lofts. Each flat
within the podium buildings will have interior entrances. Direct access from
the parking garages to the units will be provided via elevators and stairwells
19342-0dcll-28-06GraftonStationStage2PD-Env.InfoForm.doc
located in the lobbies of each building. Each podium will also have a large,
internal landscaped courtyard that will be accessible to all residents.
l
I
Attached three-story units are proposed along the southern end of the site and
will front onto Dublin Boulevard as well as portions of Lockhart and Keegan
Streets. These attached units will include 22 live/work units and four
townhomes and will be separate from the podium flats, Each of the live/work
units has a total of 2150 square feet with approximately 710 square feet on the
lower level being identified as work or flex space. Each of these units will have
two entries, one at the front of the unit on Dublin Boulevard for visitors and
guests as well as one private entrance via a landscaped courtyard situated
between the units and the garage.
-'1
,
,
)
Between the two podium buildings is a central main courtyard that will include
a 25-meter swimming pool and a spa for all residents of the complex as well as
open space and landscaped areas for more passive activities. A clubhouse,
which will provide services to the residents of Sycamore Grove, is accessible
through the center courtyard as well as from Maguire Way and is attached to
the western podium building.
1
\
I
Since all of the streets bordering the Project Site currently exist, no new streets
will be required to serve the Project. Primary vehicular access to the
subterranean parking garage will be from either Keegan Street or Lockhart
Street. There will be a secondary garage entrance off Dublin Boulevard for
residents as well as deliveries and maintenance personnel, but guests and
residents will be encouraged to enter at the Keegan and Lockhart Street
entrances. Maguire Way is a private street that was constructed in
conjunction with The Groves family apartments. There will be no vehicular
entry to the Sycamore Grove condominium flats or the parking garage off
Maguire Way; however, a pedestrian entry/exit for the clubhouse facility will
be located on Maguire.
Phasing arid development timing of the project will depend largely upon
market demand. The project will be completed in two phases. The western
podium building (135 flats) will built as Phase 1. Phase 2 will consist of the
eastern podium building (143 flats). Eleven live/work units and two townhouse
units will also be built as a part of each phase. All necessary storm drainage,
sewer, and water backbone improvements may occur by phase and will
provide service for each phase. It is anticipated that most, if not all, bulk site
grading would be done with the initial phases of the project.
Please refer to the attached photographs on affected land area(s) for additional data
regarding existing site conditions.
