and a PUD amendment. Furthermore, it can be difficult to apply the R-3 regulations to lot sizes that do not meet the minimum R-3 lot size. The City Council considered approving an alternative set of regulations for the Hunters Park neighborhood in 1985 (Planning Case 85-010). However, it was determined that an alternative set of regulations for Hunters Park should not be created because the lots and structure layouts were so varied in the original PUD that it would be very difficult to create a standard that is less complicated than the existing process. The City Council did, however, approve a process for evaluating future changes to structures in Hunters Park: 1. If additions or alterations to the homes do not require setback or coverage variances from the R-3 Zone, only a building permit issued administratively by the City shall be required. This removed the need for a PUD amendment with every change. 2. If additions or alterations to cluster homes do require additional variances of any kind from the R-3 Zone,the standard variance procedure set by the City shall apply. 3. In both cases, the Architectural and Environmental Committee of the Hunter's Park Homeowners Association shall review and approve the proposed addition or alteration before submitting the same to the City. It shall assist individual homeowners in determining if a variance is required for proposed alterations. According the planning case files, the Hunters Park homeowner association approved this process along with the City. Plan Evaluation 1.
