i 1 Zoning File #2293 September 11, 1997 Page 2 A. This property is only marginally developable with septic systems due to steep slopes. Rezoning to an urban density coupled with a Comprehensive Plan Amendment would allow installation of municipal sewer. B. Development of this site at an urban density, while developing most of the Sollner property at a 2 acre density rather than the 1 acre density it is currently zoned for, allows a more efficient development in terms of reduced road and utility lengths and costs. C. The proposal limits the ultimate length of Wildhurst Trail,which already exceeds the City's 1000' length limit for dead ends with no secondary outlet. During the sketch plan review, Council suggested that rezoning is perhaps only feasible if the result is no more buildable lots than would have been created without the rezoning. This conceptually suggests that the developer must show adequate evidence of how many lots could have been developed under the current zoning, by showing a realistic plat layout and providing on-site sewage treatment system site evaluations for the properties not zoned for sewer. Absent such information, staff would offer the following density analysis: Maximum Estimated# "Realistic" Gross of Lots Per Estimated Total Area Zoned Zoned Density # of Lots* Van Sloun 4.8 ac. RR-1B 2 ac. (Septic) 2 2 Sollner 6.8 ac. LR-1B, 1 ac. (Sewer) 6 5 Morgart West 10.0 ac. RR-1B, 2 ac. (Septic) 5 3 Morgart East 4.7 ac. LR-1B, 1 ac. (Sewer) 4 3 17 lots 13 lots *Based on excluding area for roads, stormwater ponding, etc. and staff estimated septic site potential. In staffs estimation the Morgart 10 acre parcel likely could only support 3 lots with septic systems due to the extremely steep slopes in the southwesterly half of that site. Staff estimates,then,that the total 26 acre group of parcels could realistically support 13 total lots under the current zoning. While the applicant proposes 14 lots, it would be critical to
