CASE #: b REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL OF BRIDGEWATER; CASE OF CBR DEVELOPMENT By: Breanne DaInes, Associate Planner Background: Torn Rollings submitted a preliminary plat application to develop 5 single family lots on an approximately 1.5 net acre parcel located generally on the east side of Nowthen Boulevard, .north of Sun wood Drive, at 14765 Nowthen Boulevard. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) Site location map b) Preliminary Plat c) City Council minutes from June 26, 2007 d) Proposed Findings . Notification: In accordance with City Code, Staff attempted to notifY property owners within 700 feet of the subject property for the public hearing atthe Planning Commission on June 7, 2007. Observations: The applicant is seeking to develop a 1.5 net acre parcel on Nowthen Boulevard with 5 single family lots. The property is currently zoned R-l Residential and is guided low density residential by the Comprehensive Plan. The maximum density in the R-l Residential (MUSA) district is 3 units per net acre. The plat is proposing 3.3 units per acre, which exceeds the maximum. Also, the proposed plat does not meet all setback requirements set forth in the R-l district, resulting in a minor deviation to two front yard setbacks. Lastly, 3 of the 5 lots are deficient of the lot width requirement of 80 feet at building setback line (for cul-de-sac lots). A zoning amendment to planned-unit-development was denied for this site, and therefore the plat does not conform to the City Code for development in the R-I Residential district with regard to density or setbacks. Funding Source: The Developer is responsible for all costs associated with processing the land use application and the development. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends denial of the plat, due to its non-conformance with City Code, specifically Section 9.20.11, subdivision 4. -181-
