PLANNING REPORT DATE: 2November 1988 CASE NUMBER: 1887 APPLICANT: Dove Development LOCATION• North of County Road B, West of Victoria Street (see sketch) ACTION REQUESTED: Planned Unit Development, Preliminary and Final Plat, Variance to PUD Minimum Size PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Attached is a copy of a repo,A prepared for the October Planning Commission meeting. At that meeting the Commission voted to table the proposal with the November meeting to allow time for the developer to address neighborhood concerns and to provide clearer drawings. 2. Attached is a copy of the reduced drawings for the revised layout. The number of lots remain the same, but they now propose to build specific houses for each of the lots in question. They have - also adjusted the setbacks to conform to the required 10 foot setback. The northerly most house has also been adjusted to provide for the 15 foot easement that exists for a stormwater trunk line for the site. 3. Staff recently met with the developers and encouraged them to consider addressing the concerns expressed by the neighbors and the Commission members. Since the applicants are proposing to build the houses themselves, we - suggested that it would be appropriate if they were, to come up with the specific house plans that they are proposing. There was also the question of whether or not the density of the development could be reduced by eliminating one lot. The applicant noted that the economics of taking out a lot would be difficult. We suggested that this be reviewed with the Commission if that is in fact the case. 4. Attached is a statement from the applicant outlining his concerns about the aevelopment proposal. Typically in a PUD involving multi -family housing, the specific building type, scale, and use of materials is delineated. This proposal could perhaps have been best done where a public street offers potential for other property owners contiguous to the proposed private street. We suggest that the Commission question the applicant and affecte.l neighbors regarding the potential for additional houses being added to this private cul-de-sac system. 5. Over time, one might anticipate that additional areas of land would be proposed to be added. If this is the case, this should be discussed and reviewed at this time.
