V. STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed final plat depicts 68 single-family residential building lots and 8 common lots on 19.65
acres of land in an R-8 zoning district. The minimum property size in this phase is 7,127 square feet
(s.f.) with an average size of 8,901 s.f.
A total of 1.04 of an acre (or 5.3%) of open space is provided with this phase. Qualified open space
consists of landscaped parkways along internal local streets and a common lot with a micro-path.
All of the lots proposed in this phase are for single-family detached homes and must comply with the
dimensional standards of the R-8 zoning district listed in UDC Table 11-2A-6. Staff has reviewed the
proposed plat and found it in compliance with the aforementioned dimensional standards.
Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for substantial compliance with the approved preliminary
plat in accord with the requirements listed in UDC 11-6B-3C.2. The number of buildable lots in this
phase is one fewer and the amount of common area is less than shown on the preliminary plat. In
previous phases, there were 5 fewer lots [(2) in Phase 5 and (3) in Phase 7] and an increase in
common area (in Phases 1, 5 and 7) for an overall total of 6 fewer lots; staff is unsure if the overall
amount of common open space has increased/decreased from that approved with the preliminary plat.
In order to be deemed in “substantial compliance” the final plat has to contain the same or
fewer number of building lots and the amount of common open space has to be the same,
increased or relocated with no reduction in the total amount. Overall, staff believes the
proposed final plat is in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat. However,
to ensure the overall qualified open space is the same or exceeds that approved with the
preliminary plat, staff recommends an exhibit is submitted with the next final plat application
that demonstrates overall compliance with the approved preliminary plat.
