The City Council heard the annexation, preliminary plat and conditional use permit request for this property
on July 22nd. At that meeting, the Council continued the public hearing to August 19" and the applicant
requested a later continuance to the September 2nd meeting which Council granted. The Council directed the
applicant to modify plans to address the following concerns:
➢ the lack of perimeter fencing;
➢ density;
➢ and no children's amenities.
Based on those discussions and the public testimony at the Council hearing, the applicant has revised the
site plan that was presented to Council at the July 22nd hearing as follows:
1. The applicant is proposing a 4 -foot tall decorative wrought iron fence along the north and east
boundary of the development with limited access to the adjacent pathway. A detail of the fence has
been provided on the revised site plan.
2. The applicant has reduced the number of dwelling units on the site from 68 to 64. This has
decreased the gross density of the project from 11.6 dwelling units to the acre to 10.9 dwelling units
to the acre. With the decrease in the number of units, the applicant was able to reduce the number of
parking stalls from 136 to 131. The revised plan complies with the parking requirements of the
UDC.
3. The applicant has relocated the clubhouse away from the north boundary and oriented it more
central to the proposed development. Rather than incorporate a children's play structure, the
applicant is proposing a pool and covered patio next to the clubhouse.
Staff is in agreement with the changes proposed by the applicant. If the Council supports the revised
plan staff is recommending the following DA provisions and conditions of approval be updated to
reflect the proposed changes to the plan:
I. DA provision a. - A maximum of 68 64 multi -family units shall be constructed on the site.
2. DA provision c. - The site shall develop with 3:85 3.82 acres of common open space as proposed.
3. Add to condition of approval 1.2.2, bullet 44 —The applicant shall construct a 4 -foot tall decorative
wrought iron fence along the north and east boundary of the development as proposed on the
revised site plan, dated 08/15/14.
4. Modify condition of approval 1.5.2, bullet #2 - Provide a minimum of 3-45 3.82 acres of common
open space as proposed. The applicant shall provide the following qualifying amenities: 1) a
covered picnic area, 2) large open grassy area, 3) clubhouse with covered patio, a pool and 4) a
10 -foot multi -use pathway as proposed.
