AREA: 10.322 acres NO. OF LOTS: 1 FT. NEW STREET: 0
ZONING: "MF-18"
PROPOSED USE: Apartments
VARIANCES REQUESTED: Privacy Fence in the Buffer Area
A. Site History
This property was a part of the Orbit Valve subdivision
plat approved last year and also was the subject of a
recent rezoning action.
B. Proposal
1. The construction of an apartment project on 10.322
acres.
2. Variance - Location of privacy fence in the buffer
area at the northwest corner of the property where
8.42' of single family land abuts the property.
The reason is to avoid placing such a short
section of fence at this corner. A cluster of
evergreen trees and screening shrub masses are
proposed for buffering at this location.
3. Building Setbacks - A minimum building line of 10'
established along side yards so that the required
setback should be equal to the adjacent building
height (approximately 8.751).

Staff has several problems with the request. Our first
concern relates to the design and density of the
project. In his design, the developer has sacrificed
livability for density. It is suggested that he build
a little more variety into the design, and provide some
breaks into the long linear drives, which as proposed,
will serve to encourage internal speeding. The

southwest corner of the site is too densely developed
and there appears to be an excess of sidewalk.
Explain.
There is an intrusion into the 25' buffer area by
parking and sidewalks. The applicant is asked to
revise this area and provide no intrusions into the
area by physical improvements. Also, "MF-18" disallows
parking in the front yard setback. It is very
important that the Fire Department sign off on this
plan and Engineering should comment on the potential of
two access points with Mabelvale Pike. There may also
be a name conflict.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Denial of the submitted plan.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
The applicant was represented by Mr. Robert Brown of
Mehlburger, who agreed to address the points raised -and meet
with staff before the public hearing. He was asked to get
the Fire Chief's approval.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant was present. There were no objectors. A
revised plan was submitted. A motion for approval was made
and passed by a vote of: 10 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent.
