PD Conditions
131 South Denton Tap Road
City Plan Case ID: PD18-05-000238
The subject site is located at 130 South Denton Tap Road, approximately 400 feet south of West Sandy
Lake Road. The proposed site has an existing access drive that encumbers a large portion of the lot
area and provides multiple adjacent lots access to Sandy Lake Road and a median opening on Denton
Tap Road. There are also 11 existing parking spaces on the lot. Tree mitigation for the entire site has
been previously provided per PD -214R8 -C; however, not all the existing trees are being proposed to be
removed.
Below are the proposed conditions for the subject property.
1) Area Regulations [§12-23-3.1.(B)]: There shall be a 10 -foot side yard setback along the
southern boundary.
The current 30 -foot side yard setback does not allow the subject property adequate space to
construct a building. Allowing a smaller side yard setback will allow the subject property to
become a developable lot.
2) Screening [§12-33-1.1]: The site will utilize the existing screen wall on adjacent properties to
the west to satisfy required screening. Any existing damage to the existing screen wall will be
repaired by the lot 3 owner.
The existing masonry wall meets required screening regulations and is elevated higher than the
proposed final grade of the project site. Pictures of the existing wall have been included for
reference.
3) Interior Landscaping [§12-34-8.(B).3]: Parking islands along Denton Tap Road frontage shall
be approved as shown on the Site Plan.
The parking row along the Denton Tap Road frontage is existing. An ornamental tree has been
added to the northern terminus island, and four existing trees within the landscape buffer will
remain. The southern landscape terminus is located on the adjacent property.
4) Perimeter Landscaping [§12-34-8.(C).l.]: There shall be a perimeter landscape area of 9 feet in
width along the public street right-of-way.
The current 15 -foot landscape perimeter encroaches into seven (7) existing parking spaces.

5) Perimeter Landscaping [§12-34-8.(C).2.a]: There shall be a perimeter landscape area in varying
width from 6 feet to 10 feet along the rear property line. The refuse enclosure shall align with
the existing pavement edge.
The required 10 -foot perimeter width results in a total of 1,302 square feet of landscaping
between the property line and the parking, drive, and building. The proposed site layout
provides a total of approximately 2,478 square feet of landscaping in the rear yard in addition
to preserving eight existing trees with a total of 148 caliper inches.
6) Landscape Area [§12-34-10]: 30% of the developable remainder of the lot shall be landscaped.
For the purposes of calculating the landscape area, the developable remainder of the lot shall be
the area south of the southern edge of the existing driveway approach from Denton Tap Road.
The current lot contains existing access -easements that serves multiple properties and takes
approximately 44.7% of the lot area. The proposed project provides approximately 33.5%
landscaped area outside of the existing drive and therefore meets the intent of the current code
requirement of 30%.
Lot area = 30,519 sf
44.7% of lot area is access easements, 55.3% is developable: 30,519 x 0.553 = 16,877 sf
30% of developable area = 16,877 x 0.30 = 5,063 sf
Landscape area provided = 5,660 sf (33.5%)
