ITEM 7
NUMBER OF NOTICES MAILED 81
STAFF RESPONSE:
As stated above, the Planning Commission denied without prejudice a
request for (SF-7) on this parcel in November. The Commission indicated
that (SF-7) did not appear to be appropriate zoning for this tract, felt
the applicant needed to address the concerns of neighbors to the north,
and suggested the street pattern and density proposal needed additional
study. The developer has extensively revised the original plan, attempted
to address the interests of the northern residential property owners, and
submits a planned development request reflecting average lot sizes in
excess of 9000 square feet.
On this proposal, density has been reduced to 208 lots, which approximates
3 1/2 dwelling units per acre. The developer will improve Lodge Road
adjacent to this request, as well as the leave-out parcel at the northeast
boundary line, the lot pattern is more effectively platted, and the street
system suggests a more interesting subdivision. Additionally, the
developer has indicated that private deed restrictions will be placed on
the land to address the issue of house size, resulting in dwelling units
along the the southern property line having a minimum square footage of
2000 feet. Landscaping will be placed along the easterly property line,
and is proposed to include berming, fencing and other landscape
amenities. The developer has also indicated a desire to include brick
pavers at the entrances to this development. The submitted plan shows a
20-25 foot rear yard setback along the northern property line, which was
discussed at the November public hearing.
With these development guidelines, the assurance of larger structures
being built adjacent to existing (SF-12) zoned lane, and the fact that
this proposal reflects land use suggested by the Comprehensive Plan, staff
is generally favorably inclined toward this proposal. Our primary concern
relates to density and environmental sensitivity of the plan. There are
presently two water bodies existing on the site, which are proposed to be
filled and developed with houses. The developer has indicated that
economic feasibility and the questionable quality of these small ponds
necessitated their filling. Had the plan included them in the development
proposal, density over-all would have been reduced and these two minor
concerns of staff would not merit comment. Overall, this proposal is much
improved from the initial application, and issues discussed in November
have been addressed in a positive manner.
