Absent: None. <br />5.03: Public Hearing: Consider Request for a Preliminary Plat for Woodlands 4th <br />Addition and Variance Requests to the Lot Depth and Cul-de-Sac Length (Project <br />No. 16-102); Case of Lennar Corporation <br />Public Hearing <br />Chairperson Bauer called the public hearing to order at 7:18 p.m. <br />Presentation <br />City Planner Anderson presented the staff report stating Lennar Corporation (the "Applicant") <br />has applied for Preliminary Plat approval for Woodlands 4th addition. As part of the application <br />submittal, the Applicant has also included a request for a variance to the maximum allowable <br />length of a cul-de-sac and a variance to the lot depth standard specific to Lot 2, Block 1. Staff <br />discussed the case further and recommended adopting Resolutions #16-12-215 and #16-12-216 <br />granting a variance to allow a cul-de-sac length in excess of 600 feet to an approximate length of <br />1,300 feet. In addition, Staff recommends adopting Resolutions #16-12-217 and #16-12-218 <br />related to the denial of a variance to lot depth standards for Lot 2, Block 1 of Woodlands <br />4th addition. Staff also recommends adopting Resolution # 16-12-219 approving the Preliminary <br />Plat for Woodlands 4th Addition subject to compliance with a denied lot depth variance for Lot 2, <br />Block 1. <br />Citizen Input <br />Commissioner VanScoy understood the EPB was concerned about the intrusion on the wetland. <br />He commented the building pad on Lot 2 was 60' x 95' and noted the width of the buildable area <br />was wider than 60'. <br />City Planner Anderson reported this was the case and explained Lot 2 was 100' in width at the <br />street. <br />Commissioner VanScoy believed there was the capability to put a structure on this lot. <br />Commissioner Surma had no problems with the variance on the lot. He asked if the lot would <br />have a 6" main line. <br />Civil Engineer II Linton reported this area would be serviced by an 8" dead-end line. <br />Commissioner Surma stated he would not support the request as is and recommended the 8" line <br />be looped rather than a dead-end due to the fact the line would become stagnant. <br />Planning Commission/December 1, 2016 <br />Page 4 of 14 <br />
