The developer has the <br />option to establish restrictive covenants that could address minimum home values. <br /> <br />Dorothy Stadfelt - 15111 Juniper Ridge Drive - Inquired as to the difference between R-1 <br />Rural and R- 1 Urban and the ramifications to rural neighborhoods in the periphery of urban <br />neighborhoods as it relates to sewer and water. <br /> <br />Chairman Zimmerman replied that Urban zoning allows for urban size lots (80' x 135' or <br />10,800 square feet) served by municipal water and sewer. <br /> <br />Mr. Banwart noted that there are 73 lots proposed in Juniper Woods, a number of which <br />have been increased to 100 foot widths to lessen the impact of lot width changes between it <br />and adjacent rural neighborhoods. In accordance with the City Charter, there would not be <br />sewer and water ramifications to Dorothy Staclfelt's neighborhood unless her neighborhood <br />petitions to also have the improvements. Because of Metro Council direction, the City is <br />considering adopting an ordinance which would require properties abutting the municipal <br />services to connect vAthin a two year time frame. The adoption of this ordinance would not <br />affect rural neighborhoods surrounding Juniper Woods as there are no plans to extend the <br />municipal services to Juniper through existing neighborhoods. <br /> <br />Planning & Zoning Commission Public HearinffJuly l 0, ] 989 <br /> Page 1 of 6 <br /> <br />/// <br /> <br /> <br />
