Body
Description/Background:
The applicants, Lance & Robyn Platt, are requesting preliminary subdivision and Sensitive Area Overlay review for a proposed four (4) lot subdivision. The subject property is 5.5 acres in size and consists of three (3) existing lots and two (2) parcels. The proposed subdivision would create one new 2.04 acre lot (Lot 1), where the Platt’s would build a new home, out of two parcels that have not been created with a subdivision plat and are not yet considered buildable. It would amend the lot boundaries of three (3) existing homes (Lots 2-4). Lot 2 is included in the plat because the southern half of this lot was never legally split through a subdivision and is being incorporated into Lot 1. Lot 3 and 4 are included in the plat because the applicant is acquiring land from these lots to create a flag lot stem (private lane) out to Dimple Dell Circle.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission determine that the preliminary subdivision and Sensitive Area Overlay zone reviews area are not complete for the Firefly Forest Subdivision, located at 3392 E. Deer Hollow Circle, and that the waivers and special exception requests be denied based on the following findings:
1. That the proposed subdivision does not meet city code requirements for private road design, two-points of ingress/egress, exceeds maximum lengths of cul-de-sac (or single access) roads of 600 feet in a SAO zone, exceeds maximum length of 150 feet for private lanes; and requirements that all lots have public frontage.
2. The City Engineer does not recommend approving the special exceptions or waivers that have been requested from the City Development Code requirements.
3. The criteria to approve Special Exceptions and Waivers as required in the code have not been met.
4. All requirements and studies required for the Sensitive Area Overlay Zone have not met or completed.
