#14-3646 15 Jan 2014 Page 2 of 3 property at 4.89 acres is the largest property on Bohns Point. The surrounding properties on Bohns Point vary in size from 0.45 to 3 acres. Conformity with Zoning District Lot Requirements The property is located in the LR-18, One Family Lakeshore Residential District, which allows for single family lakeshore residential uses with a minimum lot size of one dry buildable acre. Each proposed lot exceeds the minimum requirement of 1.0 acres of dry buildable land. General Site Characteristics The home on the site to be platted was removed in 2009 and the property is currently vacant. The property currently has two sewer stubs serving the property. Other than the approximate 470 feet of lakeshore and a large lagoon near the lake there are no notable characteristics of the property. Lot Layout and Lot Standards The property is situated on the west side of Bohns Point. Each of the proposed properties will have frontage on Bohns Point Road. Both lots are proposed to be served by City sewer and private water supply wells. According to the LR-lB Zoning District standards, all of the lots must contain 1.0 dry acre and meet a 140' width requirement at the lakeshore and at the 75 foot structural setback from the lake. The average lakeshore setback as determined by the existing homes at 1595 Bohns Point Road and 3265 Bohns Point Lane is closer to the lake than the 75 foot setback due to the location of the lagoon. Both of the suggested new building pad locations meet the average lakeshore setback. The proposed lots lay out as follows: Proposed Lot 1: Proposed Lot 2: Proposed Lot 1 will have 2.60 acres dry land. This lot is proposed to have 192± feet of frontage along the lake and 190 feet at the 75 foot setback. There is a sufficient buildable envelope available, and all of the required LR-lB district lot line setbacks and hardcover standards can be met. Lot 2 has 267 feet in width at the lake when measured in a straight line at the 929.4 OHWL contour, and ±270 feet in width at 75 foot setback from the lagoon. This lot is proposed to contain 2.30± dry acres in area. All required LR-lB setbacks and hardcover limitations can reasonably be met when this lot is developed with a new home. Rural Oasis, Conservation Design & Woodland Impacts The property is 4.89 acres in area. The Rural Oasis Study and Conservation Design Master Planning process has been formulated to help determine on a case-by-case basis what natural values should be preserved. Based on its size and the density proposed staff has determined that this project does not trigger the need for the developer to conduct and submit a conservation design plan. Site Improvements This subdivision does not require any public improvements. However, the applicant has proposed a suggested grading plan which intends to establish a new base elevation for the properties. This new base elevation is to be considered a new existing grade for the purposes of height and number of stories determination. Does the planning commission find that the character of the area will not be impacted as the proposed grades will tie into existing grades on neighboring properties in a manner that appears as natural and not contrived? The Planning Commission should determine whether or not the suggested building pads will accommodate homes at an elevation and with a foundation style (walk-out) which is compatible with the adjacent properties.
