The lots average 40 feet to 45 feet in width and vary in depth from 90 feet to 110 feet. The developers intended to leave as much of the land on the individual lots as possible, while confining landscaped open areas to those along the street. Minimum lot size for duplex lots was 8,000 square feet, whereas minimum lot size under the PUD ordinance is 3,800 square feet with a density allocation of 4,000 square feet per unit of gross land area. The original site of 27 units was used as a test area for the program. Houses were sited to retain existing walnut trees and provide variety in streetscapes with different setbacks.
Front walls have seven different designs, adding to the variety of the setting.
A typical floor plan with 1,220 square feet has two bedrooms and a den that is convertible to a third bedroom to provide housing for a small family. An interior court is created off the living, dining and bedrooms between the garage and house. The front court of most homes is large enough to contain a small swimming pool. Each house is built against one side of the property line so its wall can form the wall for the adjacent lost. Thus, the entire lot becomes private living space.
