HISTORY:
The property was classified as a Planned Development District in early
1994. The first phase of development was platted in late 1994. There
have been two minor amendments to the PD site plan since, involving side
yard fences in front of an established building line on individual lots.
TRANSPORTATION:
Deforest Road is an existing residential street consisting of a 2-lane
uncurbed asphalt pavement within a 40' wide right-of-way. The
Subdivision Ordinance requires upgrading the right-of-way width
to 50 feet.

vacant; "LI" Light Industrial zoning
existing single-family residential; PD-140 (Planned Developmen0
vacant and existing single-family residential; 'A' Agriculture
vacant and existing single-family residential; 'Aw Agriculture
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows low density residential use.
DISCUSSION:
If the companion request for amendments to the Planned Development
District is approved, the final plat will comply with zoning and
subdivision requirements. However, because builders and home, buyers
have had difficulty understanding the fence provisions of the PD, Lot 5
of Block A appears to be a candidate for additional misunderstandings.
Designating the building line on the plat as a building and fence setback
line will make it more easily understood.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat with the condition that each
building line on Lot 5, Block A, be shown as a 'Building and Fence
Setback Liner, subject to Engineering Comments, and subject to City
Council granting a variance of street construction and drainage
requirements for DeForest Road and a variance of alley requirements.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Recommend approval of the Final Plat
2) Recommend disapproval of the Final Plat
3) Recommend modification of the Final Plat
