August 12, 1980 Item No. 10 - Z-3506 Owner: Applicant: Request: Purpose: Existing Zoning: Location: Site Characteristics: Size: Existing Land Use: Abutting Land Use and Zoning: Zoning History: Applicable Regulations: STAFF COMMENT: Warren Mercer Warren Mercer Rezone to "PRD" Planned Residential Development District Residential Planned Unit Development for 27 Units "R-2" Single Family North off Cantrell Near Reservoir Park Heavily Wooded, Steep Slopes 19 Acres + Vacant North - Vacant Zoned "R-2" South - Single Family Zoned "R-2" East - Vacant and Commercial Zoned "R-2" and "C-3" West - Single Family and Vacant Zoned "R-2" None Zoning Ordinance Staff has reviewed the proposal under the development criteria established within the Ordinance and finds that the project proposed meets the requirements with the exception of the specification that topographic information be shown with two foot' contours. The applicant has chosen to use five foot contour intervals because of the significant slope within the site. Staff finds this to be a reasonable choice. The density of the development proposed is quite low, less than 1.5 units per acre. The quality of the development stated by the applicant seems appropriate for the neighborhood. An exceptional amount of natural open space will remain following development of the site, computed at 77 percent of the property by the designers. IW August 12, 1980 Item No. 10 - Continued No adverse comments have been received from neighboring property owners. Site plan review by the Planning Commission is scheduled for July 31. Staff fully supports this PUD development concept and believes that this site is particularly attractive for this proposal. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the PUD with the condition that the site plan approval is granted. COMMISSION ACTION - July 29, 1980: The applicant was present and described the proposed project in great detail and discussed the rationale for approaching this development in the manner proposed. There were no opponents present. There were, however, a few neighboring property owners who raised a number of questions and discussed the project both with the Planning Commission and with the applicant. After a lengthy discussion, the Commission moved to approve the application with the condition that site plan approval be granted a future meeting. The motion was approved - 7 ayes, 0 noes, 3 absent and 1 abstention. (George Wittenber abstained citing conflict of interest.) SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Approval of PUD Site Plan and Plat/with changes: 1. The plat to reflect two lots (separate for house). 2. Move pool use area. 3.

The vote - 4 ayes, 0 noes and 1 abstaining (George Wittenberg). PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Approval as recommended by the Subdivision Committee except that the plat be allowed as 3 lots.
