The following items have been concerns of staff, the Planning Commission, the residents, and/or City Council: Concern: too much density, especially in the southwest area of the plat. Result: The reduction of net density from 6.5 to 4.7, the addition of more bungalows in the southwest area of the site, the reduction of density within the Haubrich Addition to conform to Low - Density Residential -PUD land use designation. The proposed density remains a concern of the Planning Commission and residents. Concern: single access in and out onto 151 Lane. Result: The acquisition of another parcel that provides for a second access onto Alpine Drive, and the relocation of this second access as far as possible from the intersection with Nowthen Boulevard. Concern: the design of the townhomes adjacent to 151 Lane. Result: Replacing townhomes for bungalows, orienting them towards 151 Lane, and the reduction of two units to provide 80 feet of frontage for each unit to better conform to the existing neighborhood. Concern: Increase of traffic onto 151 Lane Result: Obtaining a second access and reduction of density. This is still a concern of the Planning Commission and residents, especially regarding the excessive school -hour traffic Recommendation: The Planning Commission held a public hearing on July 10, 2006 and recommended that the City Council deny the plat because of the projected traffic flow and the inadequate justification for an increase in density. Staff is recommending approval, contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review Letter dated June 30, 2006, revised August 4, 2006. Council Action: Motion to approve the preliminary plat and preliminary site plan for Skyline Pointe contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review Letter dated August 4, 2006, -or- Motion to deny the preliminary plat Review Checklist: Asst.
