COUNCIL BUSINESS Case #1: Request for Site Plan Approval; Case of Ronald Johnson Community Development Director Frolik stated that Mr. Johnson was requesting site plan approval to construct a garage on the commercial portion of his property in the Pineview Estates 2"d Addition PUD. This PUD is zoned for a combination of residential and commercial uses. Mr. Johnson is a concrete contractor and 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 percent on the commercial portion of 'the subject property. This is in accordance with the City's general commercial regulation of restricting the building coverage to 30 percent on commercial parcels. The neighborhood covenants for the Pineview Estates PUD restrict 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 finished 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 three 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 five total. In accordance with the covenants, Mr. Johnson is proposing to provide three rows of pine trees between the residential and commercial portions of the property. The Planning Commission met on March 6, 2001, to review the site plan. At that meeting, Mr. Johnson City Council/March 27, 2001 Page 4 of 22
