0 9 JAMES H. AND CATHERINE CASEY, CASE 1728 PAGE 2 wherein the private street will be controlled by development association in the same manner as in a typical townhouse project. This means that the City would not be plowing the street and that the development association would be responsible for maintaining the access drive and turnaround and would pay taxes on the outlot. Though this is an unusual solution, it appears that it will pr-jvide the best and most desirable building sites in the area. 4. You will note that the lot sizes vary from 11,953 square feet to 31,745 square feet. All of the lots are substantial. Access would be provided exclusively off of Outlot A, thus restricting any future driveways directly to Victoria Street. This is also advantageous in the view of the considerable traffic along Victoria Street. 5.- The question of keeping the residential unit on the second floor of the garage should be addressed. As you know, it is the Planning Commission and Council's policy to encourage "mother- in-law mother-in-law apartments" and/or remodeling of existing homes under appropriate conditions as duplex units. The City's policy regards such duplex units as being compatible with single-family housing and is not regarded as spot zoning. With this being the case, it Would appear that keeping the upper story garage living unit may be appropriate. Obviously, the parcel at 31,745 square feet is more than adequate to accommodate two units. As a planned unit development, the existence of the two units on the single lot can be approved because the density is far less than 11,000 square feet per unit. 6. A condition to the PUD, however, might include a requirement that water, and sewer be connected to the living unit as well as the proposed development lots. 7. The proposal is for approval of a Preliminary Plat and a Planned Unit Development. Approval of the Preliminary Plat could be conditional upon Lot 3 being designated as an Outlot and not developable at this time. B. The approval of the Planned Unit Development could include the condition that: 1. The living unit in the garage be provided with water and sewage. 2. That all lots be developed with vehicular access from Outlot A (not on Victoria). 3. That the roadway access via Outlot A shall be maintained by an appropriate homeowner's association, subject to City approval, and that such roadways shall be maintained and plowed to provide adequate access for life safety vehicles.
