NAME:
SUBJECT:
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Pleasant Ridge Subdivision
Bill of Assurance Amendment
This issue is before the Commission as the result of several
items being included in a Bill of Assurance that do not
properly belong.
The Staff has reviewed the matter as has the City Attorney,
with the result that we felt that the Commission should
formally act on the matter to clear all doubt.
The items deleted are: 1.
1) A minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet when this
is a large lot multifamily site.
2) Use restrictions on setback for nonresidential
development when "MF-18" in place now does not
permit office/commercial/industrial. The Staff
and Subdivision Committee both recommend the
change.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The staff outlined the reasons for the proposed amendment.
The Commission offered no objections or concerns. The
Commission voted 8 ayes, 0 noes and 3 absent to approve the
amendment.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:
1. Proposals considered under "MF-18" zoning districts
must have a minimum site area of one (1) acre. This
plan complies.
2. All detached buildings in the zoning district shall be
separated by a distance of not less than 101. This
plan complies.
3. "MF-18" zoning districts are characterized by a minimum
of 25' setback, side or rear yards equal to the height
of the adjacent buildings. This plan complies.
4. Site plan submission requires the applicant to submit
quantitative data that includes proposed building
coverage of principle and accessory buildings, parcel
size, proposed floor area and number of parking spaces.
This plan complies.
5. Site plan submission requires that the proposal include
the topographical cross section of the site. This plan
complies.
6. Landscaping and screening shall be in accordance with
the Landscaping Ordinance.
ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS:
1. Drainage - storm drainage is approved to tie in to the
City system.
2. Street improvements - Street improvements are in place
on Pleasant Ridge Road and are approved by Public
Works.
3. Sidewalks - a sidewalk is required along Pleasant Ridge
Road.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
This plan presents no major deviations from Ordinance
requirements. collector streets, such as Pleasant Ridge
Road, are required to have a 30' building line setback,
instead of the 25' that is proposed. Inasmuch as no plat is
filed for record, the 30' requirement is a technical point
with no real impact. Staff accepts the plan setback. The
plan is in excess of most site plan requirements.

SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Mr. George Toombs of the Cromwell Firm represented this
proposal. It was determined that the plat for this site was
approved with a 25' setback, so this proposal will require a
technical waiver of this requirement. The Committee moved
to approve the site plan and variance. The motion was
passed by a vote of 5 ayes, 0 noes and 0 absent.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
There were no objectors present. The applicant was
represented by George Toombs of the Cromwell Firm. The
Commission received supportive comments from both staff and
Mr. Toombs. The Commission voted to approve the site plan
review as filed with addition of a sidewalk along Pleasant
Ridge Road. The vote: 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent (Rector
and Tabor were absent).
