A. PROPOSAW REQUEST:

E. ANALYSIS•
The Planning staff's review of this preliminary plat reveals
that the plat is in a proper design, given the terrain and
circumstances of the property.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of this preliminary plat with
approval recommendation for waiver of building setbacks as
shown on the plat.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (MARCH 19, 1992)
The application was represented by Mr. Joe White. There were
several design elements discussed. These dealt primarily with
the 15 and 20 foot building lines on the lots. It was determined
that building lines be increased to 25 feet on the front and
reduced to 20 feet on the rear on all lots abutting the golf
course. On the remaining lots with rear access drives, the
building lines will remain unchanged.
There being no further discussion, the matter was forwarded to
the full Commission for final resolution.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (APRIL 7, 1992)
There were no objectors present. Staff reported to the
Commission that this item was retained on the regular agenda for
purposes of discussing the waivers requested by the applicant.
A brief discussion of the two waivers resulted in there being no
reservations concerning the variances as requested. It was
pointed out that the golf course to the rear of most of the lots
provides a significant open green space, thereby allowing the
reduction of the rear yard. The street centerline radius was
approved by the Public Works Department as workable.
A motion was then made to approve the preliminary plat as
presented and recommended approval of the waivers to the City
Board of Directors. The motion was passed by a vote of 7 ayes,
0 nays and 4 absent.
