This PUD is zoned for a combination of residential and commercial uses. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) e) f) Site location map Proposed site plan and building elevations Certificate of Survey City Staff review letter dated March 1,2001 Draft Planning Commission meeting minutes dated March 6, 2001 Proposed Development Permit Observations: Mr. Johnson is a concrete contractor and he is proposing to construct a 2,400 square foot garage to house his vehicles and equipment. The structure equates to a lot coverage of .03% on the commercial portion of the subject property. This is in accordance with our general commercial regulation of restricting the building coverage to 30% on commercial parcels. The neighborhood covenants for the Pineview Estates PUD restricts the front 200 feet of the property for the residential use. Mr. Johnson's building is proposed to be set back 240 feet from the front property line. The building meets all other setbacks and will be fmished with vinyl lap siding. Access to the building is proposed to be a paved driveway along the common property line with Lot 8, in accordance with the covenants. The driveWay width proposed is 3 feet deficient of the 15 foot width requirement established in the covenants. Also, the site plan reflects that the existing driveway to the residential garage is located in the middle of the lot and does not extend from the common property line with Lot 8. This results in two driveways, one for the home and another one on the common property line with Lot 8 for the business building; and this is in conflict with the covenants which restricts the number of driveways in the PUD to 5 total. In accordance with the covenants, Mr. Johnson is proposing to provide 3 rows of pine trees between the residential and commercial portions of the property. The Planning Commission met on March 6 to review the site plan. At that meeting Mr. Johnson indicated that he would revise his plan to widen the driveway from 13 to 15 feet; but meeting the full 15 foot width requirement may be difficult because of the location of the drainfield. In addition, Mr. Johnson stated that he would be willing to have the other landowners in the PUD review his proposal for two separate driveways to serve the residence and the commercial structure. -71-
