PF07-039: (2007) City Council approved (3 — 2) final plat with 28- foot public street; fina] plat was not filed since legal delays led to financing difficulties. PF07-039: (2014) Application far re-approval of 4-lot preliminary plat with 26-foot wide private street. Planning Commission recommended approval (6 — 0); City Council denied (3 — 2),based on concerns over drainage, loss of trees, and inadequate parking available on the proposed street and Acorn Road due to substandard widths. City Council Resolution 11161 denying the preliminary plat is included with this RCA as Exhibit B. PF10-010: (2015) 4-lot preliminary plat with 32-foot private street. Planning Commission recommended approval (3 — 2); City Council denied (4 —1), based on concerns over drainage. City Council Resolution 11264 memorializing the denial of the preliminary plat is included with this RCA as Exhibit C. Planning Commission Action: On December 2, 2015, the Planning Commission voted (6 — 0) to recommend approval of the proposed preliminary plat, subject to certain conditions. 1 PROPOSAL 2 Mr. Mueller proposes to demolish the existing home and plat the property into three lots for s development of one-family, detached homes served by a private street. The proposed preliminary 4� plat information, the staff analysis presented in the Request for Planning Commission Action, � and other supporting documentation, as well as draft public hearing minutes, are included with 6 this report as RCA Exhibit A. In summary, the present application meets or exceeds all of the � City Code requirements and is materially different from its predecessors in the following ways: � • It proposes three lots instead of four. A three-lot plat has suggested by City 5 Councilmembers, Planning Commissioners, and members of the public during reviews of � o recent four-lot plat proposals that were denied. � � • Overland storm water discharge to the public storm drain west of the property during the � 2 100-year event will be 1.34 cubic feet per second, which is an 82.0% reduction from �� existing flow and a 57.7% reduction from the most recent proposal that was denied based � a largely on concerns over the westward, overland flow of storm water. This reduction is 15 achieved, in part, by reducing the number of new homes and the length of the street, 16 thereby reducing impervious surfaces, and, in part, by directing some storm water from 17 the northeastern portion of the site toward the storm sewer infrastructure in Acorn Road � 8 rather than the storm sewer infrastructure in Marion Road. � 9 • Tree removal will be limited to 23 significant- and heritage-quality trees compared to 2o removal of 51 such trees in the previous proposal. This lower impact is largely realized 21 by reducing the number of new homes and the length of the street. 22 PUBLIC COMMENT 23 The public hearing for this application was held by the Planning Commission on December 2, 24 2015. Two members of the public spoke in opposition the proposal, and the primary concerns PF15-023 RCA 010416-Prelim.doc Page 2 of 4
