ITEM 8
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The comprehensive plan shows this land to be developed with
low density sin§le-family construction.
ANALYSIS: This 10 acre parcel is the last tract in the immediate area
to be developed. Since all construction surroundin§ it is
single-family, and the density on the developing tracts is
less than three units per acre, this request at 2.7 du/acre
fits in well with the overall development picture and
warrants a favorable recommendation.
There are three issues reflected on the plan submitted by
the applicant to be recognized here. One, the cul-de-sac
(Sand Point Court) is approximately 800 feet long. Our
subdivision regulations normally suggest 600 feet as a
maximum length. However, because as a general rule,
cul-de-sacs make for more desirable residential streets,
and the fact that this cul-de-sac eliminates yet ~nother
curb cut onto Sandy Lake Road, and thus encourages a safer
street pattern, staff supports the additional cul-de-sac
length. Two, the radius at the cul-de-sac end shows 60
feet, and our normal dimension is 50 feet. Staff does not
oppose the 60 foot dimension (especially if some landscape
treatment is proposed), but only points out a slight
modification from the norm. Three, there are four lots -
1, 12, 13, 14 in Block A that are not on an alley. Lots
12, 13, and 14 back up to Sandy Lake Road and have staff
support for elimination. By slightly modifying lot width
dimensions along the west side of this proposal, however,
it appears that Lot 1 could have alley access. Unless the
applicant can offer some compelling reason why such a
modification to the plan can not occur, staff would
recommend that alley access to Lot 1 be provided.
All-in-all, this is a good use of the land, is compatible
with what is developing around it and is recommended for
approval as stated above.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the zoning change
2) Deny the zoning chan§e
3) Modify the zoning change
