Description/Background:
This item was brought before the Planning Commission on April 5, 2018. The ownership of the subject property is split between three entities including the applicant, Mark and Camille Trapp who own the home on the proposed Lot 3, and Dominion Energy. The Planning Commission moved to table the item after the Trapps requested additional time to research how the subdivision would affect them. Since that time, the applicant has spoken with the Trapps and the parties have come to an agreement and now feel comfortable moving forward with the subdivision plat as proposed. The minutes for the April 5, 2018 Planning Commission meeting are attached.
The applicant, Mr. Adam Nash, is requesting preliminary subdivision and Sensitive Area Overlay review for a proposed three lot subdivision. The subject property is 3.21 acres in size and is located on the southern rim of Dimple Dell Park. The proposed subdivision includes a 1.68 acre lot for an existing home, and the creation of two lots (0.68 and 0.81 acres) that have large portions of steep slope area. The two new lots will be accessed via Dimple Dell Road to the south, while the existing home is accessed via Badger Cove. The proposed subdivision also defines the boundaries for a parcel currently used as a utility station located between the two proposed new lots. The utility parcel is not a buildable residential lot.
The subject property is made up of several parcels that the previous owner of the property created by deed through Salt Lake County. However, because the property was never formally subdivided, none of the parcels are buildable lots. The parcels have since been sold to different owners. The residents that live in the existing home off of Badger Cove own the northern half of the property, the applicant owns the southern half, and Dominion Energy owns the utility station. Going through the subdivision process will clarify property boundaries for these three parties and create lots that are legal for residential construction.
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 complete for the Dimple Dell Ridge Subdivision, located at 1713 East Dimple Dell Road subject to the following 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 all residential lots comply will all requirements of the R-1-20A zone and Sensitive Area Overlay zone.
4. That dwelling structures be prohibited from any area that is equal to or in excess of a 30% slope. The location of a dwelling structure shall be within an average of 20 feet (no point being closer than 10 feet) of a continuous hillside slope of 30% or greater.
5. That any area equal to or in excess of a 30% slope be indicated (cross-hatched) on the final plat, and that perspective builders and homeowners be apprised of the restrictive nature of the hillside lots.
6. That the existing slope ratio be unaltered and that grading and landscaping of any of the hillside areas have approval of the Sandy City Engineering Division in accordance with the Sensitive Area Overlay Zone prior to building permits being issued.
7. That grading, home placement, and vegetation plans be submitted and approved for all lots prior to issuance of a building permit. The grading plan shall include a driveway plan and profile to assure conforming driveway slope. Any down sloping driveway will require approval by the City Engineer.
8. That structures comply with the Urban Wildland Interface requirements. This means that all homes and accessory structure be constructed of materials approved with a minimum of a one hour rated fire resistive construction on the exterior side or constructed with approved noncombustible materials. This will be determined on a case by case basis at building permit review. Also, that an approved noncombustible or fire treated roof covering be utilized for each home.
9. That homes be placed in a manner that minimizes the removal of vegetation on each property. Where it must be removed to accommodate a house, areas with the least mature vegetation should be prioritized for home locations over areas with more mature vegetation.
10. That compliance be made with the Sandy City Water Policy, e.g., water line extensions, connections, water rights, and fire protection.
11. That a shared maintenance and access agreement for Lots 1 and 2 be recorded with the plat for the shared driveway access and private trail easement that provides access to Dimple Dell Park.
12. That the driveway access for Lot 1 be installed as part of the subdivision improvements and not by the future owner of Lot 1, that the installation of the driveway will be bonded as part of the subdivision improvements, and that the engineering and configuration of the driveway be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer.
13. That Lot 4 be approved as a public utility station lot and not deemed as a buildable residential lot.
