5.03: Public Hearing: Consider a Request for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Zoning Amendment, Preliminary Plat and Variances regarding Front Yard and Side Corner Setbacks, Cul-De- Sac Length, and Lot Depth Standards for a proposed development, Brookfield 8th Addition (Project #16-78); Case of Brookfield Land, LLC Public Hearing Chairperson Levine called the public hearing to order at 7:28 p.m. Presentation City Planner Anderson presented the staff report stating the purpose of this case is to review a development of a twenty-six (26) lot, single family residential subdivision, proposed by Brookfield Land LLC (the "Applicant"), on Outlot A, Brookfield 2nd Addition and PID #09-32-25-44-0017 (together, the "Subject Property"). The site is generally located south of Trott Brook and west of Olivine Street. The Applicant has submitted an application for the following: Comprehensive Plan Amendment to reguide a portion of the Subject Property from Rural Developing to Low Density Residential, Request for Rezoning a portion of the Subject Property from R-1 Residential (Rural Developing) to R-1 Residential (MUSA), Preliminary Plat, and Variances to Cul-De-Sac Length, Front Yard and Side Corner Setbacks, and Lot Depth requirements. Staff reviewed the Planning Case in detail and recommended approval of the requests. Citizen Input Commissioner VanScoy stated in general he supported the requests. He asked how the property would be buffered. City Planner Anderson discussed with the Commission how the site would be buffered noting the wetland space around the property would create proper separation to the properties along 166th Avenue. Steve Bona, Capstone Homes, updated the Commission on the Brookfield 6th Addition project noting the last homes were being constructed. He explained the streets were recently paved for the Brookfield 7th Addition and homes would begin construction shortly. He thanked staff for providing the Commission with a thorough staff report and noted this was a challenging piece of land. He believed that this parcel would create beautiful lots and was worth the extra effort. He appreciated staff's efforts to ensure sheds and decks could be built on the lots and then reviewed how his homes would fit on the proposed lots. He believed that shallower homes would fit on the smaller lots and requested no lots be lost within the plan. Community Development Director Gladhill asked if the development would have an HOA. Mr. Bona did not anticipate the development would have an HOA but would have covenants in place with the County. Commissioner Bauer questioned if the two lots in question could have a condition in place to require the homes not be more than 36 feet deep. DRAFT Planning Commission Minutes Excerpt October 6, 2016
