Planning Department:
De Weerd: Item 20 is a continued Public Hearing from April 4th on ZOA 05-002. Anna.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, at the last Public Hearing you asked
us as staff to work together and to try and reach consensus on the few remaining items
and, then, to come back to you with a clear kind of position statement from the various
entities involved as to where we stood on each issue. And there was -- those issues
were the street sections, side yard setbacks, maximum height to eave, alley setbacks,
block lengths and alley right-of-way restrictions. So, I am happy to report that -- I think
we came to consensus on all but one issue and that one issue was alley right of way --
just restrictions or the width of the alley, basically, is what it ended up being. But let me
go back to the beginning and briefly get you up to date. On street sections we appear to
have reached consensus regarding the issue that the typical 500 block -- I have a layout
for you courtesy of some help from Mr. Turnbull and a drafter in his service. So, they
have provided this typical block section. This would be 500 feet from center line to
center line. You can see these are about 40 foot widths on the lots. The end ones are
larger. What we would have is 29 feet back of curb to back of curb with parking on both
sides and, then, we would have a choker at a minimum of two points within that mid
block. These chokers would allow the fire department to stage in these locations and,
then, to pull hoses where they needed to from those stage locations, basically. We have
originally shown them at 20 feet back of curb to back of curb on the -- or front of curb to
front of curb on the choker. ACHD has said that they require 24 feet from front of curb to
front of curb. So, as you look at -- here is one of those chokers, 29 feet. It will, actually,
only be about two feet difference from where the parking aisle is. So, won't have as
much choke affect as we had hoped, but it still will serve that purpose. This street
section was based on one from the -- this is from the ACHD manual, just to -- very
similar. They allow 29 feet with parking on both sides where you have 500 feet from
center line to center line and you have a grid system where there is intervening points.
That street system would only be allowed for alley access properties. So, if the -- if this
side of the street had front loaded ones, then, it would be a full street section to get in
there. So, you would have to have alley on both sides similar to this block here. All my
visual aids were for that first Item, so I've gone through them all now, but I will go
through the other ones. The side yard setbacks, planning staff and development
