HomeMy WebLinkAboutMemo from PlanningProject: Kingsbridge Subdivision No. 2
Location: east of Eagle Road South of Victory
Applications: Request for an 18-month time extension to obtain the City Engineer's signature on
the final plat for the Kingsbridge Subdivision No. 2. The subject final plat consists of 50 single-
family residential building lots and 13 common lots on 23.97 acres in an R-2 zoning district. The
preliminary plat (PP-OS-004) was approved by City Council on May 3, 2005; the administrative
time extension granted on March 28, 2007 expired on March 14, 2008, which has initiated the
request for the second time extension for the project (the applicant submitted the subject time
extension request prior to the project expiring).
The applicant states the primary reasons for the subject time extension is because of the lack of
financing and the delay in the construction and sale of lots in Kingsbridge Subdivision No. 1.
Staff believes that there are no additional conditions that should be added to those approved by
the City Council with the final plat for this subdivision; the previous plat conditions should be
complied with as part of the subject approval.

site plan and elevations submitted with the conditional use approval.

and exercise cabana. Units range in size from 1,500 to 1,750 square feet. The proposed dwelling

Private Street: three private streets within the proposed development; and alternative compliance
from two UDC standards: 1) to allow for an alternative design from the 20' X 20'parkng pad
requirement and 2) an alternative design for the 5-foot landscape strip adjacent to pathways.
1) The proposed units will feature two car attached garages located at the rear of the homes
units except for the 4 detached units internal to the development. The applicant is
proposing tandem parking instead of the 20' X 20' parking pad and 10 guest parking
stalls for the 4 internal units that do not have any parking pads in front of the garages.
2) The applicant proposes to vary the widths of the landscaping strips along the pathway to
allow 5 feet for the planting of trees and narrow to 3 feet in areas to be planted with
shrubs and plants while maintaining the 5-foot pathway. Portions of the walking path
would still be at the back of the residential fencing; however the impact is less than
having the entire fencing located along the west property owner's fence line.
