PACHECO, DIRECTOR TITLE AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A SPECIAL AREA PLAN FOR CANDLEWOOD COURT SUBDIVISION, FILING NO. 2 ISSUE Shall City Council approve the Special Area Plan to allow reduced setbacks and frontage along a private drive? The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their November 12, 2008 Regular Meeting, voted 5 -0 to recommend approval. BACKGROUND The applicant proposes to resubdivide and amend the Candlewood Court Subdivision and Special Area Plan in order to create a separate lot for the clubhouse that is located in the center of the development. Candlewood Court, A Special Area Plan, was subdivided in 1981 as one parcel and 23 town home units. Parcel A contains ingress /egress easements, common grass areas and a clubhouse in the center of the development. The Special Area Plan allowed the unique development of the site regarding the creation of town home unit lots, allowing the units to front a private drive and the creation of common outdoor facilities. The clubhouse was constructed in 1981 and eventually converted into a single - family residence in the early to mid- 1990s. Therefore, the Candlewood Court Owners Association would like to resubdivide and amend the Special Area Plan to create a separate lot for the clubhouse /residence so that it can be legally sold to an independent party. The placement of the clubhouse /residence on the odd shaped lot precludes standard R -4 setbacks from being met. The Special Area Plan is necessary to allow reduced setbacks and frontage along a private drive. FINANCIAL IMPACT None.
