III. Special Requirements:
(1) Exterior yard should have a depth of at least 25
feet. This plan complies.
(2) All interior yards, yards which abut interior
property lines, or any lot of record shall a depth
equal to the height of any proposed building or
structure. The applicant has requested a waiver.
(3) All detached buildings shall be separated by a
distance of at least 10 feet. This plan complies.
(4) Minimum site area is one acre. This plan
complies.
IV. Engineering Comments:
Prior drainage requirements are to be continued with
this new phase.
V. Staff Analysis:
Staff has several comments relative to the proposal.
The applicant should submit clarification as to the
design or intrusion of a structure over the phase line.
If both of these are filed as separate plats, this
building will overlap lots. Secondly,, the final plat
on the first phase has not been submitted. Before
construction begins on the second phase, this plat must
be recorded. The applicant has asked to waive a side
yard requirement that the setback be equal to the
height of the adjacent building, which in this case is
30 feet. His justification is based on a marketing
study which indicated that flats were the preferred
type of housing. As a result, 10 feet more were needed
to make the design work. Staff has no problems with
the request.
VI. Staff Recommendation:
Approval, subject to comments made.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
The Committee decided to pass this to the Commission,
subject to the applicant filing the final plat upon building
permit application.
