r <br /> Page Two - Request for <br /> Special Use Permit analysis <br /> f) Multiple family should be encouraged to <br /> locate near high amenity areas. <br /> - Near Clearwater Creek. Pg. 244, comprehensive <br /> plan proposes to preserve land adjacent the <br /> creek for aesthetic and recreational <br /> opportunities. <br /> Criteria #2 - <br /> Our zoning ordinance currently permits multiple family <br /> dwellings to co -exist with single family dwellings in <br /> the sewered residential district. This should not be <br /> part of this argument (whether this is right or wrong). <br /> The perspective that needs to be taken here is: <br /> "Are there any concerns unique to this particular <br /> proposal that makes this development less harmonious <br /> or appropriate in this location versus any other <br /> location. <br /> Concerns raised by residents at the October 7 hearing <br /> were <br /> a) Traffic congestion - Nothing specific about <br /> this proposal makes traffic a greater or lesser <br /> concern than elsewhere in the district. It <br /> is consistent with the comprehensive plan re: <br /> collector streets. <br /> b) Noise (vehicle) - Vehicle noise could be <br /> minimized by requiring surfacing of the <br /> driveway and parking area. The parking <br /> area could be sited on the south side of <br /> the building and screened if necessary from <br /> the road. <br /> c) Noise (residents) - Setbacks are already large. <br /> Screening to the north (eg. conifers) might <br /> provide some buffering. The proposal is for <br /> efficiencies and 1 bedrooms which will minimize <br /> children. <br /> d) Property value loss - What is unique about <br /> this concern in this particular case? The <br /> improvements proposed will improve the <br /> appearance of the property. <br /> Criteria #3 - <br /> The development will not create any hazards. The <br /> disturbance factor is discussed under Criteria #2. <br /> Criteria #+ <br /> Discussed under Criteria #1 (a), and Criteria #2 (b). <br /> Criteria #5 <br /> None known. <br />
