Collector standards on east side of property. D. Analysis The applicant has pointed out that he plans to construct four less units than ordinarily allowed in an "MF-12" zone. Also, he has provided about 98 more parking spaces than required. Staff is requesting that the site plan be revised to indicate structural dimensions, distances between all structures, distances from structures to the property line, the height of the buildings and the dimension of the internal drive. Usually, a 45' easement is required. The Fire Department must approve the on -site fire line system and its location. Traffic must approve of the six stalls in Phase IV that back into the drive. A 6' fence and a 40' buffer strip is required adjacent to areas zoned for single family. E. Staff Recommendation Approval, subject to comments made. September 10, 1985 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 8 - Continued SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The Committee's main concern was the applicant's plans for phasing and its relationship to the. required improvements. They considered it unusual to have five phases on the site plan and unacceptable to defer the bulk of the street improvements to the last phase. It was felt that if -for some reason the development was not completed, the street improvements might not be completed either. Also, staff was concerned that Phase V was over five acres, which means that it can be sold off without platting. The applicant contended that the economics of the project determined the phasing. He was asked to: (1) provide.a 45-foot access easement through the project; (2) readdress the phasing; (3) meeting with Engineering about the five lanes at the entrance; and (4) submit a preliminary sketch of the entire ownership. Water Works - A 12" water main extension will be required from Wimbledon Loop. On -site fire lines and hydrants will be required. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant, Mike McQueen, was present. He agreed to build a 6-foot fence, but for economic reasons, he wanted to dedicate right-of-way of the collector and build in to the point of intersection until the property to the rear is developed. He also requested to install a fence in two phases as construction is done. He felt that the road wouldn't be used until the 22 acres at the rear was developed. The issue was discussed and a motion was made for approval of the application as filed, subject to dedication of right-of-way only, with construction of fence in two phases. The vote was 8 ayes, 0 noes, 3 absent.. September 10, 1985 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 8 - File No. 593 NAME: West Baseline Road Apts.
