Moore, Inc., holder of a purchase agreement for the residential 53 property at 297-311 County Road B, for approval of a REZONING from LDR-1 to 54 LDR-2 and a PRELIMINARY PLAT creating seven (7) residential lots 55 Chair Gisselquist opened the Public Hearing for Planning File 14-002 at 6:38 p.m. 56 Senior Planner Bryan Lloyd reviewed the request of J. W. Moore to rezone the residential 57 parcels at 297-311 County Road B to facilitate a seven-lot single-family residential plat. 58 Mr. Lloyd advised that the proposal also included the VACATION of an existing drainage 59 and utility easement with the intent to relocate that easement and install storm water 60 infrastructure to improve area drainage as well as meeting requirements of the proposed 61 development. Further details and staff’s analysis were provided in the staff report dated 62 April 10, 2014. 63 As detailed in Rezoning Analysis Section 5.2 of the staff report, the narrowest of the 64 proposed lots and the smallest area exceed minimum requirements for width and square 65 feet of the area in the LDR-2 District. 66 Under Section 6.0 of the staff report, Mr. Lloyd noted that the Public Works Department 67 had reviewed the proposed vacation/relocation of the storm drainage and utility easement 68 and is supportive of it provided the replacement easement meets pertinent requirements; 69 with the applicant continuing to work with staff on those details if and when the 70 application process proceeds. 71 Mr. Lloyd advised that staff was supportive of the request as conditioned. 72 Member Daire questioned if runoff onto Sandhurst Drive and Farrington Street would be 73 directed to the proposed filtration pond. 74 Mr. Lloyd responded that it was his understanding that the rain water currently ran off 75 those streets, ending up on the subject property; but that the proposal would focus that 76 runoff more to a destination allowing for infiltration to control the rate and flow before 77 leaving the subject property site. 78 Member Boguszewski sought clarification that four parcels would be addressed on 79 Farrington Street and the remaining three would have a County Road B address. 80 Mr. Lloyd confirmed that, noting that Lot 4 could be addressed to either street. 81 Member Boguszewski note that, with the narrower lot width allowed under an LDR-2 82 zoning at 70’, the proposed lots looked similar to the width of existing properties at 283, 83 285 and 293 County Road B, maintaining the character of the neighborhood and those 84 existing lots. 85 Mr. Lloyd clarified that the proposed lots may be wider than existing lots to the east, but 86 would still remain similar in size. 87 Within the body of the report, specifically Section 7.4, Member Boguszewski noted that a 88 condition of the grading permit was that it be subject to a final tree preservation plan. 89 However, Member Boguszewski noted that it was not specified in the suggested action of 90 the Planning Commission; and questioned if it would include that condition by reference. 91
