SIZE OF AREA: 3.2 acres of property, being proposed for two residemial lots.

HISTORY: There has been no recem developmem history on the subject tract.
TRANSPORTATION: Bethel Road as an unimproved two-lane, asphalt road comained
within a variable width r.o.w. The Thoroughfare Plan calls for it
to be developed with a minimum 27-foot pavement and 50 foot
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- single-family residemial; PD SF-9
South - vacant; PD SF-9
East - single family residence; "C", Commercial
West -single-family residence; "C", Conunercial
Page # 9
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the propert3, as suitable for
a use allowed in the Historic District (residential uses are
allowed).
DISCUSSION: This is a request to change zoning from Commercial to residential
allowing the development of two 12,000 square foot plus residential lots.
Lot one will contain .85 acres of land, lot two, 2.4 acres. PD zoning is
being requested primarily to eliminate the alley requirement of
residential development, a request that has been approved for several
other subdivisions within this general neighborhood. Although partially
included within the 100 year floodplain, the applicant understands that no
development can occur-even with a change of zoning-until the floodplain
has been revised to remove the building sites from the floodplain. The
PD would allow the elimination of alleys adjacent to the creek, a
reduction of the side yard setbacks, and introduce more flexibility in the
development of this vacant parcel. The only major concern of staff
regarding this application is the fact that we would prefer to limit the
access to these two lots to one central driveway. Because of the grades
of Bethel Road, the short distance that would occur if two driveways
were allowed, and the proximity of the bridge just east of this site, one
driveway would make for a safer development. The applicant has
resisted our recommendation stating that a future homeowner here would
prefer individual drives.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff supports this request provided the following conditions are followed:
-one driveway for the two lots; zoning exhibit to "PD SF-12"
-a circulation plan that allows all vehicular maneuvering on the lots
and not on Bethel Road (read: no backing into Bethel Road)
-complete tree survey acceptable to Leisure Services
-payment of $1285 park development fee per lot
-no development is allowed in the 100-year floodplain
-minimum finished floor will be one foot above the ultimate flood
elevation
-all other staff comments
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
