residential lots and 3 common lots on 8.95 acres in a proposed R-8 zone
for Harpe Subdivision by Larry C. Harpe - 4715 North Locust Grove
Road:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 13 is a Public Hearing on AZ 06-041 and Item 14 is PP 06-042. I
will open those two public hearings with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this the Harpe project. It's located on
the southeast corner of the intersection of Locust Grove and McMillan, as shown here.
You will see that to the east and the south are developed, as well as partially to the
north. The applications before you today are an annexation and zoning and preliminary
plat. The plat includes 22 single family residential lots and three common lots. The lot
sizes range from approximately 7,532 square feet to 8,945 square feet and, then, there
is the one very large lot at the northern end of the property that's 89,833 square feet.
They have proposed approximately .85 acres or 9,9 percent open space. The gross
residential density is 2.45 units per acre. The access is an existing stub street, Bright
Angel Avenue from Havasu Creek. So, it comes into the subdivision and it does -- they
do stub to the existing house lot, so they will be removing their driveway and taking
access from that stub street. And, then, there is a stub going east. I should point out we
are starting to see all of these come in. You have seen these two before. We have done
pre-apps on -- pre-application conferences, excuse me, on these two, I think there is -- I
think there is only one of these five acre lots that hasn't come in for pre-application
conferences at this point. We have some elevations as well. I will let you see those. The
Planning and Zoning Commission did recommend approval at their October 5th Public
Hearing. Van Elg spoke in favor. No one spoke in opposition and none commented.
There was written testimony from Oliver Palmer. The key issues of discussion by the
Commission were the overall density of the subdivision and the future density of Lot 13,
Block 1. That's the large parcel to the north. The key Commission changes to staff's
initial recommendation were to add a requirement to the development agreement
limiting Lot 13, Block 1, to a density of four dwelling units per acre. I raise this as an
outstanding condition only because what -- I need to explain a little bit what the
Planning Commission was thinking. They recognize that although the density was 2.45
units per acre, the one large lot really throws that off quite a bit. It wouldn't be -- typically
what you would -- the lot sizes you would expect. So, they did ask for R-8 zoning, even
though this is a low density residential Comprehensive Plan designation. So, they did fit
