Description/Background:
The applicant, Mr. Dave Richards, is requesting preliminary subdivision review for a four lot single-family subdivision located at approximately 630 E. 8800 S. in Tier 1 of Historic Sandy. The subdivision would divide the 0.69 acres subject property into four new single-family residential lots. Lots 2 and 3 of the proposed subdivision are configured as flag lots and have access via 630 East. The applicant is implementing the Historic Sandy Development (HSD) Overlay zone for Lots 1 and 4, which as smaller than the minimum standard lot size for the R-1-7.5(HS) zone. The HSD Overlay zone is a floating zone meant to promote human scale pedestrian activity through the incorporation of specific development guidelines in exchange for reduced minimum lot size and frontage requirements.
Because this is an infill development, the applicant is also requesting that the Planning Commission grant a special exception for the use of “flag” or “L-shaped” lots as well as the establishment of lots without public frontage.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission grant a special exception for the use of flag or L-shaped lot configuration and for the establishment of lots without public frontage based on the following findings and subject to the following condition:
Findings
1. That the proposed subdivision is an infill development.
2. That the proposed configuration is an efficient use of the land.
Conditions
1. That the applicant continue to work with staff through the final review process to ensure that all flag lots meet the code requirements and standards.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission determine that preliminary review is complete for the 630 East Subdivision located at approximately 630 East 8800 South, subject to the following conditions:
Conditions
1. That the applicant complies with each department’s comments and redlines throughout the final review process and that all issues be resolved before the subdivision can be recorded.
2. That all City provisions, codes and ordinances are adhered to during the review, construction, and operations process of this project.
3. That the applicant establish a shared access and maintenance agreement for the private lane between the owners of lots 2 and 3 of the 630 East Subdivision.
4. That the applicant continues to work with staff during final review to ensure that all lots meet the minimum size requirements of the zone.
5. That the building envelopes be shown on the final plat for lots 2 and 3.
6. That the shared private lane be signed to prohibit parking so as not to inhibit access and movement of emergency service vehicles.
7. That the applicant dedicate the appropriate amount of land along 630 East to Sandy City as determined by the Sandy City Public Works Department, and that all improvements be installed according to the requirements of that department.
