Engineering Comments to Recommend middle drive be deleted with access to clubhouse provided internally. 2. Right-of-way of 50 feet required. Boundary street improvements are required to be in -lieu. 3. Show preliminary detention calculation of areas. C. Analysis Staff's major concern involves the proposed drive. We concur with Engineering's suggestion that the middle drive be eliminated. Greenery is preferred in that location. A 24-foot private street should be cleared with the Fire Department. The parking layout should be shown. Use is not a problem at this location since the Highway 10 Plan recommends multifamily. Buffers are not a problem since there is a 75-foot natural green belt along the northern boundary. The closest building to the northern boundary is set back approximately 150 feet. The applicant seems to think -that this setback and a grade of 35 percent along the northern border keeps the rooflines of the development below elevations of the Walton Heights residents. ' D. Staff Recommendation Approval, subject to comments made. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The applicant clarified this submission as involving a preliminary plat also. The staff informed that a one -lot final would be needed before a building permit is received. iThe major issue discussed involved the central drive. The applicant felt that it would not coincide with the high traffic use of the other drive since it would only be used for general buisiness and 18 parking spaces. He was asked to meet with Southwestern Bell to resolve their request. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Staff recommended approval, subject to: (1) obtaining authorization from the Sewer Department and (2) submission of a one lot final plat. Mr. Jim Lawson gave staff's views on the proposed use. He felt that a multifamily use was appropriate for the site. November 12, 1985 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 7 - Continued Staff also offered no objection to the center drive. Mr. David Henry represented the applicant. He felt that the drive was necessary, since it allowed non-residential traffic to be separated from residential. Also, he felt that modifying the drives location may affect building placement since the topography is difficult and may interfere with the buffer between the project and Walton Heights. Mrs. Jannette Straub and Mr. David Groon, from the neighborhood, were in attendance. It was felt that there were enough apartments along Highway 10. A motion for approval, subject to staff's comments was made and passed by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes, 1 absent and 1 abstention. 1 1 November 12, 1985 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 7 - File No. 609 NAME: Hunter's Ridge "Long -Form PRD" (Z-4523) LOCATION: North side of State Hwy. 10, approximately one mile west of I-430 DEVELOPER/AGENT: Louis A.
