<br />Concept Plan Review.docx <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Date: March 31, 2017 <br />To: Laura Holey, City Planner <br />From: Jane Kansier, AICP <br />Subject: Pekarna Property Concept Review <br /> City of Jordan <br /> Project No.: T19.113606 <br /> <br />Herb Baldwin has submitted 3 concepts for further development of the Pekarna property, located at 520 <br />Cedar Lane Drive. <br /> <br />Existing Conditions: <br />Zoning: R-2, Shoreland District <br />Lot Area: 3.87 acres <br />Buildings: One single family dwelling and garage <br />Street Frontage: Cedar Lane Drive and Cedar Lane Circle abut the west boundary of the lot and <br />Rustle Road abuts the east boundary of the lot <br />Utilities: The property is currently served by municipal sewer and water. <br /> Watermains are located in Cedar Lane Drive and Cedar Lane Circle. Watermain <br />is also located adjacent to the south half of this lot in Rustle Road. <br /> Sanitary sewer is also located in Cedar Lane Drive and Cedar Lane Circle. <br />Sanitary sewer is not locate in Rustle Road adjacent to this parcel. <br />Natural Features: A steep slope and wooded area bisects the center of the lot <br />Adjacent Properties: This site is surrounded by existing single family homes zoned R-2 <br /> <br />Concept A, Large Lots: <br />Lots range from 17,850 square feet to over 40,000 square feet, all lots meet the minimum lot width, and <br />all lots front on an existing street. This concept could be completed through the platting process. <br /> <br />Concept B, Small Lots: <br />All lots meet or exceed the minimum lot area requirement in the R-2 district. These lot areas are also very <br />similar to the size of the lots in the surrounding area. The issue with this concept is Lots 3 and 4, which <br />do not have frontage on a public street as required by the Subdivision Ordinance. This concept would <br />require a PUD as well as a plat. It may simpler to develop two lots rather than the 4 proposed. In any <br />event, the driveway locations on Lots 1 and 2 will have to be monitored because of their vicinity to the <br />intersection. <br /> <br />Concept C, Cluster Development: <br />This concept is clearly a PUD. The density of the development appears to be consistent with the R-2 <br />district; however, it is unclear whether the proposed units are single family or multiple units. This <br />proposal is somewhat out of character with the existing surrounding development, which consists of <br />single family homes on individual lots. If the developer intends to pursue this concept, it would make <br />more sense to remove the existing house on the lot. This might result in a more cohesive design.
