5. 16. CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 12/12/2023 Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Promote economic growth and development. Information Title Adopt Resolution#23-307 Approving the Final Plat and Development Agreement for Lynwood Third Addition (Project No. 23-121); case of U.S. Home, LLC dba Lennar Purpose/Background: The City has received an application from Lennar(the "Applicant") for Final Plat approval of Lynwood Third Addition,which is the third and final phase of Lynwood, located south and west of Fire Station#1 (the "Subject Property"). The final phase of this development consists of twelve (12) single family residential lots. Notification: Notification is not required for consideration of a final plat. Observations/Alternatives: This is the third and final phase of the Lynwood subdivision. It includes twelve(12) single family residential lots in the northwest corner of the Subj ect Property. This portion of the Subject Property is zoned R-1 Residential (MUSA) - 80 (R-I A for the new Zoning Code). The new lots would abut existing single family residential lots, which are zoned R-1 Residential (Rural Developing) or Rural Residential(RR in the new Zoning Code). However,there are two outlots between the new lots and the existing neighborhood lots. These are being created to satisfy the density transitioning requirements. As part of the approval of the Preliminary Plat for Lynwood,two (2)variances were approved. The first variance allowed slightly smaller lot sizes for Lots 3-4 and 8-11 (lot sizes ranging between 0.20 acres and 0.22 acres). Had the outlots not been platted,these lots all would have met or exceeded the minimum lot size of 0.25 acres. The second variance allowed a minimum front yard setback of twenty-five (25) feet. This helped keep slightly more separation between the new lots and the existing homes to the north and west and also maintained a consistent front yard setback with the townhomes in the first and second additions. The Final Plat matches the approved Preliminary Plat. Alternatives Alternative 1: Approve the Final Plat and Development Agreement for Lynwood Third Addition. The Final Plat is consistent with the approved Preliminary Plat. Almost all the landscaping serving as density transitioning has been installed,with the remainder to be installed after the storm sewer work in Outlots A&B is complete. Staff supports this alternative. Alternative 2: Do not approve the Final Plat and Development Agreement for Lynwood Third Addition based on certain findings. As noted,the Final Plat is consistent with the approved Preliminary Plat. There would be no legal basis for denial. Staff does not support this alternative. Funding Source: The Applicant is responsible for all costs associated with this applicatton. Recommendation:
