2. JVrtr~'owe~~ lot widths for urban single-family lots. Current regulations require lots to be at <br /> least 80 feet wide at the front-yard setback line. The proposed development shows lot widths <br /> at 46 fleet and 64 feet. <br />3. l~e~h~ced building .retbacks. The development is proposing a 25 foot front yard setback, City <br /> Code establishes a 30 foot front yard setback. <br />4. Public Street exceeding length requirement: The preliminary plat is showing a public street <br /> that exceeds 600 feet in length. The property does not lend itself to provide a connection to <br /> existing streets or to provide tWO accesses from Potassium Street. <br /> <br />q.'he I~UI) ordinance states that the developments should provide 20% public open space or 50% <br />private open space area. The development shows 59 % private open space. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission held the public hearing and reviewed the rezoning request at their <br />April 7, 2005 meeting. Subsequent to the meeting, staff came across a section in City Code that <br />requires developments proposing townh0uses within the R-1 DiStrict to be reviewed under the R- <br />2 standards when processed through a PUD. In lieu of this information, the above four deviations <br />httve been modified to the following two: <br /> 1) Providing a public street that is 1,005 feet in length, which exceeds the City's <br /> 600 foot cul-de-sac length by 405 feet. <br /> 2) Reduced structure to structure setback from 20 feet to 15 feet <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Thc Planning Commission recommended that the City Council deny the rezoning based on <br />findings off fhct, which are attached to this case. In general the Planning Commission could not <br />support the rezoning for the following reasons: <br /> <br />1. Density is too high <br />2. Proposed cul-de-sac is to long without a potential future connection <br />3. Ownership issue of Potassium Street is not resolved <br />4. Overall not comfortable with the proposed deviations <br /> <br />Sta ~' has attached a copy' of the original boilerplate findings that was presented to the Planning <br />Commission for the purpose of allowing the City Council to see what changes were made by the <br />Planning Commission and to update the findings to reflect the correct deviations. <br /> <br />The City Council has tabled this case due to unresolved Potassium Street issues. <br /> <br />Council Actio~: <br /> <br />Will I~e based on discussion. <br /> <br />C C: 06/14/05 <br /> <br /> <br />
