MIKUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 17, 1989 ZOaniG FILE «1334-RBBBRS COMTIEUBD sizes and building envelopes between the 4 lot proposal and 2- acre lots. Mr. Kost said a 2-acres would yield a lot size approximately 80,000 s.f., which would allow 60,000 s.f. of building pad area. The largest 2 lots in the original plat have a lot size of 54,500 s.f, building pad of 21,400 s.f., and 50,800 s.f. and building pad of 20,600 s.f. Lot 1 of the 4 northern lots is 52,400 s.f. with a pad size of 20,800 s.f.; Lot 2 would allow for a building pad of 23,000 s.f.; Lot 3 would have a building pad of 20,600; Lot 4 would allow for a building pad of 17,200. Kost commented that these 4 lots are more in conformance with the larger lots approved in the original plat. Mr. Kost observed that as the size of the building pad it becomes more difficult to control where on the property the house is to be located. This would also make it more difficult to preserve the maximum number of trees, which is one of the main objectives of the proposal. He reminded everyone, however, that the total amount of hardcover in the entire development would not change more than 1,000 to 2,000 s.f. Bellows agreed, but added that there would be a change in the number of protected strips between each lot, due to the decrease in lots. Kelley suggested adding more width to each strip of trees between each lot. Kost said that he had discussed an increase in the sideyard setbacks of lots 2, 3, and 4 with Mr. Rebers. It was the concensus of the Planning Commission that there be a 40' sideyard setback on each side of the shared lot lines between lots 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 3 and 4. Chairman Kelley asked about restrictions pertaining to accessory structures. Mr. Kost said that the covenants would address that issue. Mr. Pflaum added that the concept of the building pads was to leave as many trees as possible. The original plan was to allow only a house and a detached or attached garage, nothing more. Planning Commissioner Bellows expressed her belief that building height limitations were inappropriate in that they restricted the design and function of the house. She believed that there should be no further restrictions beyond the 30* limitation. It was moved by Chairman Kelley, seconded by Planning Commissioner Brown, to recommend approval of application #1334 topographic and building pads. Lots 1 through 4 as follows; 1. That 80% of the building pad may be hardcover; 2. That the sideyard setbacks that have been identified between lots 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 3 and 4 be increased from 30' to 40'; 3. That no accessory structures of any kind, be allowed. Mr. Kost asked that rather than excluding accessory structures
