OF NEW ST.: 0 ZONING: "R-4" PROPOSED USES: Residential n��ra�T.nt71u��TT �'T'ATFMF:T�T This proposal utilizes the zero lot -line concept of development for five lots in the Tall Timber West Subdivision, that are currently zoned for duplex use. The owner is requesting a zoning change to "PRD" due to a preference for individual ownership of each unit as opposed to common ownership of the lots. Also included in the rezoning is a sixth lot, which is to. be used for a single family structure. The single family attached structures will be built to incorporate "passive solar heat concepts" and will be geared toward the $35,000 to $45,000 market. The existing system of public streets and pedestrian walkways are to be used; and each unit will have a carport and drive, the equivalent of two parking spaces. The plat and Bill of Assurance take into consideration any previous covenants and restrictions. September 14, 1982 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 1 - Continued PROPOSAL: 1. The construction of 11 units on 1.92 acres. 2. Development according to the following scheme: (a) Buildinq Type Area No. Duplex 8,800 sq. ft. 6 Single Family 8,800 sq. ft. 1 Total 7 structures Total No. of single family units 11 units (b) Public Use Area .56 acres (c) Area of Remaining Open Space 1.15 acres 3. S ecial Re uest (1) The applicant is requesting that the Commission direct the staff to delay sending this item to the Board until development plans are finalized. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: 1. Sites considered under the Planned Unit Development concept must be 2.0 acres or greater. This plan complies.* (See Analysis.) 2. A minimum of 10 to 15 percent of gross "PRD" areas shall be designated as common open space. 3. Guidelines for PUD's advocate the preservance of existing trees whenever possible. The applicant has stated intentions to comply. 4. A detailed landscaped plan must be submitted. This plan complies. 5. Single family, duplex, zero lot -line and Townhouse Developments shall have a minimum of 500 square feet of usable private open space per unit. September 14, 1982 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 1 - Continued ENGINEERING COMMENTS: (1) Interior street improvements are in place. (2) Highway No. 5 improvements have been previously waived. (3) Show floodway limit on plat along the 65' drainage easement line. STAFF ANALYSIS: Staff is favorable to this development, though several issues need to be addressed. The actual site area is somewhat short of the minimum PUD size requirement. This poses no concern to the staff since adding the existing street in the total acreage will more than adequately compensate for the difference. The site plan shows the proposed structural intrusion into a 40' setback area from State Highway No. 5. This 401 line was established by the original Tall Timber West plat. Since there is a 100' right-of-way on Highway No. 5, it will not be detrimental to the property. To eliminate the possibility of further encroachment of the same structure by additional construction, the staff has requested that the applicant plat the building site by showing the buildable area of each unit, as done previously in the Woodland Hills PUD. Relative to the special request, staff is agreeable only if the delay is granted for no more than 60 days. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval, subject to comments made. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE ACTION: Some questions were raised pertaining to the special request and sixty-day limit set by the staff. The Committee decided to extend this limit to 120 days. A motion was made and passed that instructed the applicant to notify the staff of the status of his development by the end of 120 days from September 14th. If no notice is received, the staff is authorized to send this to the Board. A motion was made for approval, subject to comments made. The motion was passed by a vote of 4 ayes, 0 noes,'and 1 absent.
