e . PLANNING REPORT DATE: 6 June 1984 CASE NUMBER: 1488-84 APPLICANT: William and Lorna Jones LOCATION: West of Iexington Avenue, South of Rose Place ACTION REQUESTED: Rezoning fr~ R~l to R-2 Appro~al of Planned Unit Development Approval of Preliminary Plat PLAHHIHG CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Attached is a eopy of the report prepared for the 2 May meeting of the Plannlng Commlssion. That report gives a general outline of the proposal, concerns. and alternatives. 2. At the hat meeting of the Commission, at the owner's request, the Planning Commi~sion considered and approved the concept of the development proposal. The Planned Unit Development (PUD) Ordinance providel (at the applicant'. option) 3 consideration of concept approval prior to approval of the development plan. Testimony on the part of contiguous land owners at the May meeting indicated their opposition to the construction of ROle Pl4ce as a publlC improvement proJect, with the owners of the mobile home park to the north. and the slngle family home owners to the west objecting to the posslble assessmentJ that would result. Wlth this opposition in mind, the applicant offered to build his own "privllte driveway" on the public right-of-way if the City would all~w him to do so. Inasmuch as that vlolates the Clty normal policy, the concept des\~n and the question as to the feaSlbility of the applicantis proposal to construct a private drive on public: right-of-way was referred to the City Council for its advice. 3. The Council considered this quest10n at a work session conducted on 16 May, and :nformally agreed that ln this case they would allow the construction of a pnvate driveway on the public right-of-way. with a provuion for appropriate ngl)t-of-way to construct a public: turn~around (cui-dC-sac) near the westerly edge of the property in question. This will be done "11th the intentlon of posS1bly vac&tlng portions of Rose Place to the west, though that actlon is not conte=plated with the development of thlS proposal. It was further understood that the driveway to be constructed on the public rlght-of-way should be developed with an appropnate turn-around faeihty for eIllergency safety vehlcles and that the public CUl-de-sac could be constructed at such time as 8 full public street is built wlthin the Rose Place nght-of-lo1ay. It is anticipated that this would likely occJ.r when and if the mobile hOllle court to the north is redaveloped for cOllllllercial pur;loses (as toned). or for h1gh density mult1-famlly purposes (as shown ln the Comp.ehensive Plan).
