B. Staff Analysis:
The Hickory Grove Subdivision is located along the west side of Hinson Road,
north of the Windsor Court Condominium development. Phases 1 and 2 of the
subdivision have been final platted. Dorado Beach Drive is the main entry
drive to the subdivision from Hinson Road. Dorado Beach Drive currently
dead ends into LaScala Curt and Bella View Drive. There are several new
homes in various stages of construction along Bella View Drive, south of
Dorado Beach Drive. LaScala court, Verona Court and Loria Court have been
constructed north of Dorado Beach Drive. There is one (1) house under
construction within this phase of the subdivision. A future phase will extend
Dorado Beach Drive to the northwest corner of the property and tie into the
existing dead end of Dorado Beach Drive which extends to the west.

ITEM NO.: 8 (CON'T.
On November 19, 2004 staff approved a temporary construction trailer for the
subdivision for one (1) year. The trailer is located at the northwest corner of
Dorado Beach Drive and La Scala Court. The trailer is approximately 10 feet
by 40 feet in size. There is a gravel drive and parking area leading to the
trailer where the future street extension will be located. On December 15,
2005, staff approved the trailer for an additional year expiring on December 15,
2006. On December 20, 2006 the developer submitted a letter to staff
requesting another time extension for use of the temporary trailer.
The following is found in Section 36-202 of the City's Zoning Ordinance and
provides for the placement of temporary buildings:
"(a) The director of the city department having planning authority and
responsibility may allow a temporary building, preregulation mobile
home or manufactured home for commerce, or industry in any district
where such building is used:
1. Incidental to construction on a site or development of a
residential subdivision; or
2. As a temporary office, store, or other facility while the
primary structure on the same site is being remodeled or
constructed.
(b) Such temporary building, mobile home, or manufactured home may
be allowed for any period of time up to one (1) year, after which the
board of zoning adjustment must rule on an extension of time.
( c) Appeals from the decision of the director or the city department
having planning authority and responsibility shall be the board of
adjustment. In making decisions, the director of the city department
having planning authority and responsibility and the board of
adjustment shall evaluate the need for such temporary uses,
compatibility with neighboring properties, parking, traffic, safety,
and other factors related to the public health, safety, and general
welfare."
Staff is supportive of another time extension for the temporary construction
trailer. Staff views the request as reasonable as very little of the overall
subdivision has been developed to this point. Additionally, the trailer as placed
on the property is fairly unobtrusive. Staff will support the time extension for
one (1) additional year. At the end of another year the developer will have to
come back to the Board of Adjustment if the trailer is needed for a longer
period of time.
