Gaffron JML Planning Dept. <br />Title: Senior Planner <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br />Item Description: #15-3763a, Christopher W. Bollis, 200-350 Stubbs Bay Road North <br />- Revised Preliminary Plat Review <br /> <br />Application Summary: This is a proposed revision of the 7-lot subdivision layout that <br />received preliminary plat approval in September 2015. <br />Planning Commission Recommendation: Planning Commission at its June 20 meeting <br />reviewed the proposed subdivision, heard public comments, and voted 5-0 to recommend <br />denial, finding a lack of sufficient justification to grant variances for the proposed layout. The <br />applicant was given the choice to have the application tabled but requested this be brought <br />forward to the City Council as presented. <br />Staff Recommendation: Because the plat layout creating multiple back lots does not meet City <br />standards for road design, minimum lot area, etc. staff cannot recommend approval as <br />presented. <br /> <br />List of Exhibits <br /> A – Notice of Planning Commission Action <br />B – Draft Planning Commission Minutes June 20, 2016 <br /> C – PC Memo and Exhibits dated June 16, 2016 <br /> D – PC Exhibits D & E <br /> <br />Please Review the PC Memo, Exhibits, and Draft Minutes for Detailed Information <br /> <br />Summary of Proposed Revision <br />The revision is to reduce the number of lots from 7 to 5; instead of accessing all five lots from a <br />private road extension of Kintyre Lane, the proposal is to access three southerly lots via a private <br />shared driveway extending north from Kintyre Lane; and access two northerly lots from a shared <br />driveway extending from the existing driveway corridor serving 350 Stubbs Bay Road N. <br />Proposed Lots 1-2-3, in the east half of the property, each contain in excess of 3 dry buildable <br />acres, giving them somewhat greater flexibility in house placement as compared to the prior <br />approved proposal. Proposed Lots 4-5 each are just barely over 2.0 acres of dry-buildable. <br />Under a standard subdivision process, each proposed lot must contain a minimum of 2.0 acres of <br />contiguous dry buildable land. However, “back lots” must contain a total of three acres. The <br />survey depicts 5 lots; based on the layout and level of improvements proposed, Lots 2-3-4-5 <br />would be considered as back lots; Lots 4 and 5 would not meet the 3-acre back lot requirement.
