RE: Apex Northwest Subdivision No. 1 ALT (A-2022-0032)
Dear Mr. Beach:
Mayor Robert E. Simison
City Council Members:
Treg Bernt Brad Hoaglun
Joe Borton Jessica Perreault
Luke Cavener Liz Strader
This letter is in reference to your request for Alternative Compliance to UDC 11-3A-7A.7 which
states, "The developer is responsible for constructing fences abutting pathways and common
open space lots to distinguish common from private areas." Your alternative compliance
proposal includes sidewalks or planter areas with shrubs, perennials and grasses instead of
fencing to delineate internal common areas from private areas within the development making
amenities and common areas more directly accessible to residents and encouraging "gathering"
within the community.
The Director has approved your request for alternative compliance to Unified Development Code
(UDC) 11-3A-7A.7 for the subject property as shown on the attached landscape plan (dated:
3/2/2022) based on the required Findings listed in UDC 11-5B-5E, as follows:
1. Strict adherence or application of the requirements are not feasible; or
The Director finds it is feasible to meet the UDC requirement referenced above.
2. The alternative compliance provides an equal or superior means for meeting the
requirements; and
The Director finds the Applicant's proposed alternative means of complying with the
intent of the UDC as proposed in the attached exhibits provides an equal means of
meeting the requirement.
The alternative means will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
impair the intended uses and character of surrounding properties.
