Lake Hazel Road. • Applicant proposes final plat to plat 47 lots(Phase II) o Final plat deviates from preliminary plat ■ Common drives removed, private streets added N/S and E/W ■ Offsite parking areas removed—wider streets but on-street parking ■ Open space reconfigured but increased ■ Several lots are reconfigured. ■ Different housing product—SFR instead of duplex or fourplex lots ■ Applicant also requests to not have to construct clubhouse—proposes dog park,fountain and trails instead. • There was a DA addendum to appease property owner to west. This included wrought iron fencing and V-2' berm along western perimeter, landscaping including trees along western perimeter and increased berming along E Lake Hazel. o Applicant proposes to remove these requirements, except they have already constructed the berm along E. Lake Hazel. • UDC 11-613-3 lists what is considered "substantial compliance"with the preliminary plat. However, the Director has the ability to require a new preliminary plat if they determine there IS a substantial difference. • Although the lots have not increased and open space is the same or more, staff has the following concerns: o The housing product has changed from attached to detached single family. o There is a significant reconfiguration of lots and streets. o Street sections have changed. o Applicant proposes to remove many of the requirements of the DA addendum o Applicant proposes to eliminate clubhouse and replace with dog park, fountain and trails. ■ Staff does have concerns regarding whether lots have already been sold with buyers believing a clubhouse will be constructed. • AT THIS POINT, IT IS STAFF'S POSITION THAT THE REVISED PLAT MUST GO BACK TO HEARING AS A PRELIMINARY PLAT. Staff believes due to the amount of change, there should be a public review and input process. • The applicant should submit a narrative that completely describes the proposed revisions.An exhibit should accompany this narrative that indicates what was approved and what is proposed. • The applicant should address all criterial for substantial conformance required in UDC 11-613-3: o Staff will discuss and decide whether a new preliminary plat is required. • A development modification will be required—this includes a neighborhood meeting and hearing with the City Council.
