The applicant seeks Council input on a proposed 24 unit, single family neighborhood at 2465 <br />Shadywood Rd and 2500 Kelly Avenue. Lots range in width from 40 feet to 70+ feet. <br /> <br />Background. The attached Planning Commission packet illustrates the most recent background, <br />including Councils denial of a twin home project in April. <br /> <br />The Planning reviewed the project on September 21. The staff report and minutes are provided. The <br />Planning Commission commented on the density, access onto Kelly Avenue and traffic in general, and <br />visibility of buildings on Kelly Avenue. <br /> <br />During the Planning Commission meeting and since, staff has received a number of calls and emails, all <br />in opposition to the proposed development. The callers are concerned with the proposed density, view <br />into the wooded areas being impacted, and the access onto Kelly Avenue. Emails received are attached. <br /> <br />The applicant has altered his plan since the Commission meeting, removing the access onto Kelly <br />Avenue. The Fire Marshal did not have immediate concern with the removed access, but noted a <br />turnaround of some sort will be required at the north end of Delany Ave. There is no vehicular <br />connection onto Kelly Ave. The county has not approved the drive configuration, staff will look to <br />coordinate the access location with other existing and anticipated drives in the area, on both sides of <br />Shadywood Drive. <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Council is asked to comment on the proposed plan.
