This phase consists of 43 single-family residential building lots and 3 common (landscape/drainage/open space) lots on 14.34 acres ofland.

The preliminary plat was approved under the name ofHavasu Creek Subdivision. This final plat substantially complies with the approved preliminary plat. A common area lot (Lot 14) was added in Block 1 for a sewer lift station which increased the open space for the subdivision and decreased the lot sizes in that block. Staff has no objection to this change as the building lots still meet the minimum lot size and street frontage requirements per the approved Conditional Use Permit. The subdivision was approved as a Planned Development which allowed for reduced minimum house sizes (1,200 s.f min.), reduced lot sizes (6,561 s.f min.), reduced frontages (60' min.), Exhibit 'A' Page 1 of4 Mayor & City Council Hearing Date: May 4, 2004 Page 2 of4 and reduced building setbacks (front 20', non-front entry garage 15', 5' side single story, 7' side two-story) in the R-4 zone.
