Memo to Mayor and City Council/P 01-14 September 17, 2001 Page 6 The Historic Preservation Commission reviewed the project site. Stone artifacts have been found on the site. Their memo and recommendation is attached. Park Dedication At the Park and Recreation Commission meeting of August 8, 2001 the Commission reviewed the request for park dedication purposes. The Commission concurred with staff's recommendation that sidewalks should be provided on one side of each of the public streets and also a 50-foot trail easement should be provided to Hillside City Park. The Commission recommended cash dedication for the subdivision due to the presence of Hillside City Park, a recreation area directly east of and adjacent to the project. Planning Commission Action The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing regarding the requests at its August 28, 2001 meeting. The only residents who spoke regarding the proposal were Robert and Susan Black who reside at the corner of Twin Lakes Road and County Road 12. Their concerns were for future access to their property. A condition of the plat requires a driveway for their property. The applicant requested approval of a PUD and the preliminary plat for the twelve single family units to allow them to begin grading on the property. Recommendation Staff and the Planning recommend the following to the City Council: 1. Denial of the request for a waiver to the townhome moratorium as the applicant has not provided sufficient evidence of hardship. 2. Denial of the request to rezone the property from Single Family Dwelling to Planned Unit Development as after the adoption of the revised townhome moratorium, a townhome development will require a rezoning to R3, Multiple Family Dwelling. 3. Denial of the Preliminary Plat. 4. Denial of the Conditional Use Permit. Without a rezoning to PUD, the preliminary plat and conditional use permit are void. The applicant could request approval of a single family plat and leave the multi-family portions as outlots until the revised ordinance is adopted and the moratorium lifted. If the City Council finds that the applicant has provided sufficient evidence of hardship to grant a waiver to the townhome moratorium, and the City Council elects to approve the remaining land use requests, staff recommends the following findings and conditions: I~nding$ of Fact for the Rezoning Request: I. THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE PLAN. S:\PLANNING\MICHMC\CCREPRTS\P01-14.DOC
