Zoning File #1333 October 7, 1988 Page 2 of 3 Please review Exhibit K, sections of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment that deal with proposed changes for the Subject property. Note on Page 37 where it specifically references areas slated for change or considered for change and designates the property as Area 4. On Pages 50 and 51 you will find two alternative plans for future development of the property. Page 52, the recommended alternative by the City, approves future rezoning of the 55' corridor north of the existing commercial line be rezoned to commercial and the rema_.ning residential was to receive sewer and to be developed at 1 and 2 acre single family densities. Sewer was to serve all residential development. Please review Exhibit G, the intent of the R-lA code. In order for the applicant's rezoning request to be approved, the property must be sewered. Review Exhibit H, the PRD Code, in ozder for the applicant to satisfy the current PRD Code of the City and the direc'-ives of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 2, the rezoning to R-lA is necessary. Review PRD Section 10.32, Subdivision 2 that reads as follows: "Submission of plans. Land owners may submit land subdivision plans for any R District without adherence to minimum lot size requirements for each building lot, provided that the total number of building lots, or dwelling units, shall not exceed the number of such lots or units permissible under the minimum lot size requirements if the zoning district or districts which such land is situated." In order for this developer to receive approval of a mixed 1 and 2 acre or 1 acre density PRD, the underlying zoning district has to be amended to fulfill the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The present PRD subdivision application seeks appr vat of 25 units based on the R-lA zoning density allowance. Alternative 3 as shown on the Comprehensive Plan Sections, Exhibit K, Page 51., shows a formal conventional plat format. The current p' _�k, rider consideration is a PRD format with an open space outlot surround -_i `.e PRD providing a buffer and lessening the impact on the surrounding rural residential properties. Please review the Planning Commission minutes of September 19, 1988 enclosed in your Council packets. Some of the reasons noted for approving the rezoning to the 1 acre zone were as fol lows: 1. Topographical and physical characteristics of the site: Variations in topograi;hy ranging from 1,044' at its highest point to 994 at its lowest, resulting in over 50' of grade separation. Mature maple and other deciduous trees. Heavy clay and clay loam soils and associated problems with installation and maintenance of on -site sewage disposal system. 2. The proposed division satisfies all of the special minimum requirements for rezoninq under the proposed zoning ordinance amendment for the Highway 12 :orridor.
