Three applications require a Planning Commission recommendation and include a request to change the zoning from R3 Townhouse/Multiple Family Residential to Planned Unit Development (PUD), a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to establish a PUD district, and a Preliminary Plat. Additionally, the City Council will act on three Lot Split requests July 21, 2014,which are needed to create the property for the Plat. With a Planning Commission recommendation on July 22, 2014, the applications will go to the City Council meeting on August 18, 2014,where they will take action on an Easement Vacation request. The subject properties are 7.60 acres in total and are bordered by single-family and townhouse development. Analysis Plat The preliminary plat includes the re-platting of 36 townhome lots and three common lots into 22 single- family lots, three common lots for access and utilities, and two outlots containing drainage ponds. The street right-of-way and street are in place will not be modified as part of this project. Staff recommends that the two oudots be platted with a lot and block designation as the pond is the end use for those parcels. Site Plan The existing sidewalk along the north and east sides of Grant Street/180th Lane NW and the trail connection between Grant and Johnson Streets will remain in place. There are 10 existing parking stalls designated for guest parking on lot 10, block 1, and two guest parking stalls in front of lot 6, block 3, are being removed to make room for a driveway. City code requires 11 guest parking stalls,but with the re- platting from townhouse to single-family, additional on-street parking is made available. If the Planning Commission agrees, staff is comfortable varying from the zoning requirement to permit the 10 spaces to satisfy the guest parking requirement as part of the PUD process. Each of the 22 single-family homes have their own lot and include a separate driveway with access to a public street. Proposed setbacks are 21 feet from the front lot line, five feet along the sides, and 10 feet from the rear lot line. This is a reduction from the required 30 foot front and 10 foot side setback requirements. The applicant is requesting the reduced setbacks as dispensation for reducing the gross density of the plat from 11.00 units/acre to 6.73 units/acre. Staff is comfortable with this change as the proposal is similar to the Khever Lake Fields 4th addition approved last year,and currently under construction. The side yard setback is the same as the current garage setback, and the 21 foot front yard setback provides enough space to park a vehicle out of city right-of-way. Grading and Drainage Minimal grading modifications are required and no impacts to the ponds are proposed. Silt fence will be installed to prevent materials from reaching the ponds and existing stormwater inlets are protected from sediment runoff. The site plan modifications reduce total impervious area by 10,000 square feet, ensuring impacts to the ponds are within design parameters. Utilities Each unit is required to be individually served by both city water and sewer. Public improvements were installed as part of the Khever Lake Fields East project and include 36 connections. With the reduction from 36 to 22 dwelling units, 14 of these connections will need to be abandoned.
