(A) Purpose. This section outlines additional requirements whenever a planned unit development application is submitted to the Plan Commission for approval. The Commission shall have the responsibility of identifying various types of developments that normally pose special concerns to the local government and require of the applicant such special reports and documents as may be deemed appropriate to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of all citizens, and to preserve, retain, enhance, and promote the existing and future appearance of land and its resources.
(B) Standards. In addition to the principles and standards set forth in these regulations, and in the zoning code, planned unit zoning subdivisions shall be subject to the following requirements.
(1) The Commission may request that the applicant provide, along with the preliminary plat, special reports on the geology, soils, hydrology, and other features of the land in order to determine the suitability of the land for its proposed use. All reports shall be certified by a professional engineer unless information is available through the State Department of Natural Resources, Soil Conservation Service, or other government agency.
(2) The Commission may reduce or amend the geometric design standards for streets and may allow the development of one-way streets as well as streets with a variable median width. However, in no case shall a one- way street be less than 16 feet wide between the banks of curbs.
(3) The Commission may allow combinations of collective private driveways, cluster parking areas, parallel or diagonal parking bays, and other special provisions in order to reduce traffic conflicts on through streets and optimize design and aesthetics. In no case, however, shall the areas be accepted for public maintenance.
(4) The Commission may require that storage areas be provided for anticipated needs of boats, campers, and trailers. At a minimum, for typical residential development, one adequate space shall be provided for every two living units.
(5) The Commission may require that a maintenance building be provided, the size and location of which to be suitable for the service needs that are necessary for the repair and maintenance of all common areas.
