C� � � January 7, 1970 CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTeON REQUESTED: � 541-69 �ristol Cc��npany, Inc. East of Cleveland Avenue, south of VVilder Street (Se� Sketch) Rezon i ng f rom R-1 to R-3A and Spec i a l Use Perm i t for Planned Unit Development Approval PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. This application was reviewed in considera��le detail at the last meeting of the Planning Commission, at which time a p,�blic hearing was held on the rezoning and t�e specia) use permit. You will recall that the application was tabled to the January 7th meeting, so as to give the neighbors a chance to work with the applicant to a further extent regarding the handling of the land between the proposed devefopment and the existing residences on Wilder Street. 2. You will recall t,'�ere seemed to be considerable acceptance of the develop- ment proposal wiih the principal area af concsrn being the ways in which the transition is hc�ndled from the development to the residences on the north side. It was antic�pated that the applicant would make an attempt to meet with the neighborhood privately, so as to discuss further the details of the landscaping and screening proposals that might best achieve the des�re to protect the single family residential investments. 3. The property, which measures 581 feet along Cleveland Avenue, with a depth of 518 feet, has more area than is required for the number of units proposed (98 units). There will be sufficient area if only the southerly 455 feet is rezoned, leaving the northerly 126 feet in the existing single family zone. The merit to this method is that the residences to the north will have additional prorection inasmuch as no apartment orienfied development (building or parking) can be put in the 126 feet left unzoned. The planned unit development proposes the buildings to be set back 170 feet from the north property (ine, and it is this 170 feet which should be carefully landscaped, preferably with the advice in consent of the neighbors affected to the north . 4. We suggest that the design proposal of the buildings and the site plan is an excellent one, unlike some of the more typical apartment proposals in the Metropolitan Area. The important points to consider in our opir�ion, is that of retaining the 126 feet of single family zoning to the north, and soEne concPrn for a specific design of the 170 feet oi` open space to be retained between the apprtmenf structures and the single family area.
