Item No. 9 - Continued
II. ANALYSIS
This item is being considered as a short -form PUD, due
to the applicant's inability to get the desired density
in the zoning district. The proposal includes
conversion of a two story structure of three apartments
into four apartments, the result of which is
unallowable in an "R-4" area. No physical additions
are included. Only modifications necessary for the
conversion are to be made. Since this is the PUD
process, a question was raised among the staff as to
our role in renovation requirements. Our only request,
in addition to the City Engineers' comments, is that
the applicant improve the driveway to the structure
since it was originally constructed for automobiles in
the earlier part of the century.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approval, subject to comments made.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE RECOMENDATION:
A motion was made to pass this to the Commission without a
recommendation, subject to the applicant addressing the
'following:
(1) Submission of a site plan showing ingress and egress,
treatment of landscaping and parking;
(2) Submission of more details on what is to be
constructed; and
(3) Justification of the request for increased density.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
There were several objectors present represented by an
attorney, Mr. Ralph Washington. There was one petition of
objection offered for consideration. A lengthy discussion
of this matter followed with comment from several of the
neighbors as well as Mr. Watson, the applicant, with the
end result that Mr. Watson determined the appropriate
action would be to withdraw his application from further
consideration. The Planning Commission voted to approve
the withdrawal. The vote - 10 ayes, 0 nays.
