De Weerd: Okay. Public Hearing on 14 and 15, AZ 06-052 and PP 06-053. I will open
these two public hearings with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is the Portico Place project. It's
located at 1780 East McMillan Road. It's on the north side of McMillan Road just east of
the intersection of Locust Grove and McMillan Road as shown here. The applications
are for annexation and zoning, preliminary plat, and alternative compliance. The
applicant has addressed this issue in his preliminary plat. The proposed development
includes the request to annex and zone 5.17 acres to R-8 and a preliminary plat
approval of 26 single family residential and townhouse building lots. The alternative
compliance is with regard to the street buffer along McMillan. They are asking to reduce
it in some portions from 35 feet to 25 feet around an existing home. You can see it here
on the site plan before you. The dark area shows the buffer. You see how it kind of cuts
in and that is near the existing home. The building lots consist of 20 attached units, five
detached units, and one existing detached home. The applicant has proposed a
gazebo, pathway, and parking areas and common lot located centrally. The gross
residential density is 5.03 dwelling units per acre. The net density is 6.98. Here are
some of the townhouse elevations. You have seen photographs of several of these
before also. There are currently two development agreement provisions that were
added by the Planning Commission. One is to state that if Lot 17, Block 1, redevelops,
resubdivides or if any other modifications to the lot are made that require the city to
issue a building permit, at that time a new plat will be required that complies with the 35
foot wide landscape buffer required along East McMillan Road. And that Lot 17, Block 1,
is the existing house lot. The second provision would be that the existing direct access
to East McMillan Road from the existing house shall be terminated and access to the
house shall be taken internally from North Beethoven Avenue. That was a -- well, I'll
