e e CASE NUMBER: 1586-8~ APPLICANT: Yorkton Limited Page 11 applicRnt would be assessed for his >rtIon of the frontage. He has been informed of this conditi n and is not opposed to this construction. ^ principal feature of the plan is, of cour3e, that no access is pro ')sed off Jrandview Avenue, thus minimizing the impact of the development upon the contiguous residential property to the north of Grandvlew. Mr. Lee has informed us t~at he has visited with the owners of the single family homes to the OOt'til and informs us that thero is considerable t1upport alllong these owners for the proposed dev9lopment. You will note that the elderly housing structure (northerly most building) Is located 70 feet trom the south right-of-way line of Grandview Avenue. The minimum setback required here would be 30 feet. Theoretically, the not.therly 70 feet of the property could be lett in the single tamily zone, though this would require a variance to the sotback (to this zoning line) and a further variance to the density requirements. Such a strip of land zoned R-l would provide some protection to the neighbors to the north in the event the land is rezoned, but the project is not buUt. All of the land ha.ving been Indicated on the Comprehensi ve Plan as high density multi-family housing, however, justifies the rezoning of the property as proposed. The Planning Commission and Council, however, lIIay wish to consider the zoning not taking eftect until construction proceeds. 10. The staff has met with the developer and its consultant a number ot times in the past two months. He has been most cooperative in considering the statr recommendations. Though there might be minor alterations and design details, it would appear that the proposed structures and site development will function well, and be an attractive addition to the community at a highly exposed location within the City. 11. The proposal then includes a re~uest tor action on the following: a. Rezoning from R-1 to R~3 for the northerly 110 feet b. Approval 01' d Planned Unit Development for the entire site (subject to the ~~zoning of the southwesterly 0.91 acre site) c. Approval of a Special Use Permit for the Planned Unit Development and the day care center. d. Approval of the variance to density and parking requirements.
