RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6 -1 to recommend approval of this Special Area Plan at their May 8, 2002, meeting. BACKGROUND This is a traditional 105 -lot subdivision comprised of 21.89 acres. The property is located in an R -2, single - family home zone district. The Special Area Plan is being requested by the applicant to vary the front yard and corner side yard setbacks from those required in an R -2 zone district. Within the accompanying Subdivision (S- 01 -13), the applicant requested three modifications from the standard (1) reduction of minor street width from 36 feet to 32 feet, (2) reduction of Red Creek Springs Road from a principal arterial cross section in an 80 -foot section, and right -of -way to 44 -foot section in an 80 -foot right -of -way, and (3) the utilization of non - radial lot lines. Within the Special Area Plan, the applicant's plan exhibits the use of a ramped curb and attached 4 -foot sidewalks, the platting of 14 lots on a 32 -foot wide cul- de -sac, the reduction of the front yard setback from 25 feet to 17 feet, and the reduction of the required 12.5 foot, side yard setback on corner lots to 8 feet. This subdivision was originally heard by the Planning Commission on June 13, 2001. The initial recommendation for approval, last year, required that in order to have a 32 -foot street width with a ramped curb that there be a detached sidewalk with an 8 -foot tree yard between the curb and the sidewalk. The applicant requested that the Commission reconsider the condition of the detached sidewalk. The detached sidewalk is consistent with what has been recommended in other subdivisions in which the street width has been narrowed and ramped curbs have been used. This is also consistent with the discussions that have been held with regard to updating of street standards. The applicant could choose to use a vertical curb with the 32 -foot street as has been recommended and approved in other subdivision applications. The utilization of the narrower 32 -foot street with the ramped curb provides an insufficient buffer, both physically and physiologically between automobiles and pedestrians. The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 6 -1 to recommend approval with the following modifications and conditions. (1) The developer submitting a detailed supplemental map in the vicinity of the extension of Red Creek Springs Road showing the location of the existing fences, roadway paving, curbs and all existing utilities including manholes, water meters, pedestals, power poles and guy wires. (2) Red Creek Springs Road right -of -way will be reduced to 80 feet with 44 foot roadway cross section (3) Minor street sections may be reduced from 36 feet to 32 feet (4) A 5 foot sidewalk setback with an 8 foot living landscape area between the walk and curb will be required for all streets narrower than the standard 36 foot wide minor street (5) The minimum front yard setback will be 18 feet, the minimum side yard setback will be 5 feet, and the minimum corner lot side yard setback will be 8 feet. The Special Area Plan be modified to exhibit these setbacks on the typical building footprint: (6) Fourteen lots can be platted on a 32 foot wide cul -de -sac (7) Applicant must resolve the storm drainage plan issues identified by Public Works staff. (8) The conditions and details of the park dedication, as set forth in the annexation agreement, shall be referenced in an addendum to the Subdivision Improvement Agreement (9) Issues related to the construction and maintenance of the pedestrian way between Lots 6 & 7 of Block 1 shall be resolved to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works, and included on the subdivision plat and Exhibit B of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement. (10) Non - radial lot lines will be allowed FINANCIAL IMPACT Unknown.
