P&Z 93-2-Z/FP PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING REQUEST FROM JIM MEARA
FOR REPLAT APPROVAL AND CHANGE IN ZONING FOR A PORTION OF
WESTGATE PHASE I
Nichols explained that the applicant was proposing to replat 76 duplex lots in a
portion of Westgate Phase I to 48 single family lots. She stated that while the public
hearing had been advertised, the notification by mail had not included all the property
owners required to be mailed notices and the hearing had been rescheduled for June
21st. Welch opened the hearing for public comment noting that the hearing would need
to be continued to June 21st.
Jim Meara addressed the Commission and explained that he was requesting PD
Planned Development zoning as the lots would not meet standard SF-3, SF-2, or SF-1
area requirements. He proposed a minimum dwelling of 1450 square feet, an average lot
size of 7000 square feet and lot widths varying between 110 feet and 58 feet. He
explained that side setbacks would need to accommodate a standard 45 foot wide home
proposed by the prospective builder.
Robin Fye of 200 Westgate Way questioned the ability of the existing streets to
accommodate the traffic. Meara stated that he was proposing a subdivision that would
generate only half the traffic the streets were designed to accommodate.
As there was no one else wanting to address this issue, Hawkins made a motion to
continue the public hearing. Adams seconded the motion. The motion was voted on
and passed unanimously.
Gilbert expressed concern that the subdivision would resemble a zero lot line
subdivision. Hawkins asked Meara why the subdivision couldn't meet single family
zoning requirements with the exception of the lot depths which were already established
by the existing streets and alleys. Meara stated that the 48 lots proposed were two short
of the 50 lots the builder used as a standard to consider a development economically
feasible and that the cutting of four additional lots to make the subdivision meet other
single family area requirements would make the development unfeasible.
P&Z 93-1-Z DISCUSSION REGARDING UPCOMING PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND
STONE GROVE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO ESTABLISH LAND USE AND AREA
REQUIREMENTS
Nichols explained that when the ordinance adopting the Planned Development
was enacted, it failed to include specific land uses and area requirements. The
Commission discussed the public hearing scheduled for June 21st and the area
requirements in the SF-1 zoning classification of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.
The Commission requested a list of the Stone Grove deed restrictions and a copy of the
approved plat marked with the developed lots by the next meeting. Jennings made a
motion to initiate a review of planned developments and to instruct the city staff to
provide an overview of all planned developments at the next commission meeting.
Adams seconded the motion. The motion was voted on and passed unanimously.
P&Z 93-4 DEVELOPMENT OF A LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE
The Commission requested a copy of a previous landscape ordinance proposed by
the Commission during the summer of 1992 for review at the next meeting.
ADJOURNMENT
Jennings requested as a future agenda item, the review of the off-street parking
requirements in residential areas. As there was no further business to come before the
Commission for consideration, the meeting adjourned.
