Background/Discussion Case No. P 16-05 The property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) and was included in the original River Park Subdivision. The plat area is governed by the original PUD Agreement and Development Agreement. However, the previous preliminary plat approval has since expired. The applicant is proposing to plat 23 single-family parcels in accordance with the approved River Park plans. The parcels are approximately 75 feet in width, and will be consistent with the previously approved plans. The applicant is requesting a change to the setbacks from what was approved as part of the original River Park plans. Setbacks for single-family homes, per previous approvals, are: 30 feet — front yard, 5 feet — garage side, 10 feet — living space side, and 30 feet — rear yard. The applicant's request is to reduce the front yard setback to 25 feet, and adjust the side yard setback to require 15 feet between buildings, with a minimum of 7.5 feet garage/living space setback. Staff is supportive of the change as the Miske Meadows subdivision was approved with the same setbacks, and the adjustment will provide consistency along Johnson Street and the larger adjacent Miske Meadows piece as the project develops. Analysis Comprehensive Plan The property is guided for urban residential development per the Comprehensive Plan. This land use designation includes areas guided for residential uses in areas that will be served by municipal sewer and water services. The Comprehensive Plan supports the proposed land use. Transportation/ Circulation The platted parcels will be along one new street, Johnson Street, which can be accessed from the north by the existing stubbed in street of 192nd Lane NW and from the south by 1915` Lane NW, which will be constructed as part of this phase of development. Each parcel will have a single driveway with a maximum width of 30 feet, when measured at the property line. Sidewalks will be constructed by the applicant along the west side of Johnson Street and will connect with the existing walk along the north side of 192nd Lane NW. Grading/ Drainage The Engineering and Stormwater Divisions continue to review the plans and are working with the applicant to ensure the proposal meets current city standards. In general, the grading and drainage plans will follow previous approvals with a stormwater pond in the northwest corner of the platted area. Landscaping The landscaping for the development will be consistent with previous plans, and includes two boulevard trees per lot, with additional trees allocated for corner parcels. Landscaping is also required along Twin Lakes Road to provide a vegetative buffer for the residents in that area, and will be approved based on the previous landscape plan.
