Date of Recommendation: December 16, 2004
Project Name:
Milliron Place Subdivision
Case No(s):
PP-04-034
Applicant:
Dyver Development, LLC
P&Z Commission Hearing Dates: October 21 and November 4, 2004
A. Recommendation:
Approve with conditions (all ayes)
B. Summary of Public Hearings:
1. In favor: Kevin Arnar (developer)
2. In opposition: Nine (9) neighbors testified at the 10/21 hearing and ten (10) neighbors
testified at the 11/4 hearing. Most residents were from Golfview Estates Subdivision
(except one resident west of Black Cat Rd). The opposition focused on lot size, house
size, Comprehensive Plan compatibility issues, traffic safety and property devaluation.
3. Commenting: None
4. Staff presenting application: Brad Hawkins-Clark
C. Key Issues of Discussion by Commission:
I. Vehicular access to Cherry Lane (10/21 hearing)
2. Existing zoning and allowed uses (both hearings)
3. Neighborhood compatibility issues
(At the 10/21 meeting, the P&Z Commission continued the public hearing with the
directive to the applicant to 1) pursue a new street connection to Cherry Lane with ACHD,
and 2) hold a neighborhood meeting. At the 1114 meeting, the applicant confirmed that a
neighborhood meeting was held and presented a revised plat with a connection to Cherry.)
D. Key Commission Changes to Staff Recommendation:
1. Require minimum house size of 1,600 sq. ft. adjacent to Golfview Estates Sub
2. Add the applicant's agreements with Golfview Estates HOA as conditions of the
subdivision CC&R's
E. Outstanding Issue(s) for City Council:
1. ACHD Conditions of Approval: As presented in Exhibit B, ACHD's conditions of
approval do not specifically provide for the new street connection to Cherry Lane (N.
Wales Ave.). It appears ACHD may not have modified their conditions to reflect the
10/26/04 revised plat. If possible, the applicant should clarify this issue with ACHD
prior to the City Council hearing and present a written statement for the record that the
new access is approved by ACHD.
2. Revised Preliminary Plat: Site Specific Conditions #3 and 4 required the applicant to
revise the preliminary plat. The applicant's engineer, Bailey Engineering, submitted a
revised plat that incorporates both changes. Therefore, Site Specific conditions #3 and
#4 can be deleted bv the City Council.
