The applicant proposes two options for the site, with either 42 or 43 townhouses. All townhouse units are proposed at 21 feet wide and approximately 47 feet deep with rear load garages with vehicular access from University Drive to a central circular driveway that serves the back side of all units. In the middle of the circular driveway, units are oriented with their front doors addressing a central shared open space that is approximately 50 feet wide. Pedestrian access is provided to University Drive as well as Chain Bridge Road.
