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. 0 1. Meeting Date: May 5, 1992 2. Case No.: S-867-V 3.
