DISCUSSION:
In the initial submittal of the PD request, the applicant proposed that all
lots which abutted the existing alleys be served by rear-entry garages.
Only the internal lots and those backing up to Heartz Road or Sandy Lake
Road would be front-entry, lust prior to consideration of the case, the
applicant realized that the grades on Lots 1 through 5 might be too severe
to accommodate driveways off the existing alley and changed the request.
After further study, the applicant has determined that some of these lots
can be graded lower and that it is possible to serve Lot 4 and LOt 5 with
a rear-entry driveway.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends approval of an amendment to the PD to permit Lot 5
to be either front-entry or rear-entry, provided that, if rear-entry, the
slope of the driveway does not exceed 10%, or 1 foot of rise for each 10
feet of horizontal distance. In addition, staff recommends approval 'of an
amendment to permit Lot 4 to be either front-entry or rear-entry under the
same terms and conditions, unless LOt 5 is front-entry. If Lot 5 is front-
entry, staff recommends that Lot 4 likewise be front-entry.
1) Recommend approval of the change
2) Recommend disapproval of the change
3) Recommend modification of the change
4) Continue the public hearing
