Description/Background:
The applicant, Mr. David George, is requesting preliminary subdivision review for a five lot single-family subdivision located at 825 E 7800 S and adjacent to the North Pine Villas Subdivision. The subject property is a narrow and deep lot that has an existing home fronting onto 7800 South and a large rear yard that is mostly unused. The proposed subdivision would divide the 1.09 acres property into five lots, one for the existing home to remain and four lots for new single-family home construction. The subject property was recently rezoned to accommodate this type of development and was zoned R-1-8(INF), consistent with the subdivision adjacent to the east.
The applicant is also requesting that the Planning Commission grant a special exception for the establishment of lots without public frontage as well as the use of “flag” or “L-shaped” lots. These issues will be further discussed in the analysis section of this report.
The North Pine Villas PUD is a project that was approved at the end of 2017 and is currently under construction. When the project was brought to city staff as a conceptual plan, staff encouraged the developer to try and acquire the subject property of this application in order to develop both properties together. The owner was unwilling to sell at the time and, consequently, the North Pine Villas PUD was approved separately. Despite this, the North Pine Villas PUD was designed to accommodate and anticipate the development of the subject property by providing a stub street that could be used for access to any lots developed on the property in the future.
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 conditions:
Findings
1. That the proposed subdivision is an infill development.
2. That the only access available to the back portion of the subject property is via a private street of an adjoining property.
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 Hinton Subdivision located at 825 East 7800 South, based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings
1. That the proposed subdivision is an infill development.
2. The configuration of lots in this subdivision is consistent with the master plan for the property that was reviewed as part of the North Pine Villas PUD.
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 lots 1-4 of the Hinton subdivision either join the Homeowner’s Association of the North Pine Villas PUD or that the applicant record a shared maintenance agreement for Winter Pine Cove with the Homeowner’s Association of the North Pine Villas PUD.
4. That the applicant establish a shared access and maintenance agreement for the private lane between the owners of lots 1-4 of the Hinton Subdivision.
5. That the applicant continues to work with staff during final review to ensure that all lots meet the minimum size requirements of the zone.
6. That the applicant adjust the boundaries of lots 1-4 to divide the ownership of the shared private lane between the four lots.
7. That the building envelopes be shown on the final plat for lots 1-4, but that the location of the front property lines for lots 1-4 may be determined by the Director during building permit review in order to mitigate impact on neighboring property owners.
8. That the shared private lane be signed to prohibit parking so as not to inhibit access and movement of emergency service vehicles.
