(landscapeldrainage/open space) lots on 14.34 acres of land. The gross density of Phase No. 4 is
approximately 3 dwelling units/acre. The net density is approximately 3.7 dwelling units/acre.
The preliminary plat was approved under the name of Havasu Creek Subdivision. This final plat
substantially wmplies with the approved preliminary plat. A common area lot (I.ot 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 Developmem which allowed for reduced minimum
house sizes (1,200 s.f. min.), reduced lot sizes (6,561 s.f. min.), reduced fromages (60' min.),
