Background: CASE #: REQUEST FOR FINAL PLAT REVIEW OF EBONY WOODS; CASE OF TIM HOLM By Tim Gladhill a Tim Holm submitted a final plat to develop three single - family units on the property located on the east side of Ebony Street N.W., just south of the Superbowl facility. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) Site location map b) . Final Plat c) Site Development Plans d) City Staff review letter dated June 6, 2008 e) Proposed Resolution granting final plat approval f) Proposed Development Agreement Notification: No public hearing is required at the final plat for a minor subdivision. However, the City Council adopted a policy requiring notification of a proposed subdivision be sent out to residents within 350 feet of the subject property during sketch plan submittal. In addition, the application also included a variance to lot width. Property owners within 700 ft. of the Subject Property were notified of the Public Hearing related to the variance. Observations: The subject property is approximately 1.1 acres in size and is zoned R -1 Residential and is within the Metropolitan Urban Services Area (MUSA). A Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Places to Shop to Places to Live, as well as a re- zoning from B -2 Business to R -1 Residential, has already been approved. The permitted density in the R -1 Residential District is 1 -3 units per acre. The sketch plan proposes 3 units on the 1.1 acres. This equates to a density of 2.72 units per acre, which meets City Code standards. The property is located in the Mississippi River Overlay District. The District requirements state that the project shall preserve 50% of the land as open space and restrict impervious (rooftop and pavement) to 25% of the lot area (or up to 35% with a Conditional Use Permit). The proposed plat meets the open space and impervious surface requirements with 81% open space and 19% impervious surface. It is also noted that the maximum structure height in the Overlay District is 35 feet. If this project goes forward, compliance with the height requirement must be verified.
