PROJECT DESCRIPTION Combined Preliminary and Final Plat for 33 single-family residential building lots and 4 common lots on 9.8 acres of land in the R-8 zoning district for the purpose of subdividing phase 2 of the Timberline Subdivision(H-2017-0140,DA# 114007668)that has since expired. II. SUMMARY OF REPORT A. Applicant: Penelope Riley,Riley Planning Services—PO Box 405,Boise,ID 83701 B. Owner: Mark Bailey,Bailey Investments— 13501 51"Avenue NE, Marysville, WA 98271 C. Representative: Same as Applicant III. STAFF ANALYSIS The subject property, approximately 9.8 acres, was originally platted in 2017 under Timberline Subdivision(H-2017-0140)but was annexed in 2013 as part of a City initiated annexation from RUT to the R-8 zoning district (AZ-13-014, DA# 114007668). The approved preliminary plat was to be completed in two phases. Phase I consists of 24 single-family residential building lots and has been recorded and fully constructed with homes,open space,etc. Phase 2 received final plat approval for 33 single-family residential building lots and 4 common lots in March 2020 and was set to expire on May 1,2021,two years following the City Engineer's signature of the phase 1 final plat consistent with City code.Due to unfortunate timing and circumstances,the Timberline No.2 final plat did not receive City Page 1 Page 235 item#12. EXHIBIT A Engineer signature by the deadline and no time extension was submitted in accord with UDC standards. Therefore, the phase 2 final plat expired which subsequently made the original preliminary plat approved in 2017 expire. The Applicant is required to re-plat the phase 2 area in order record phase 2 of the final plat. Currently phase 2 of the development is constructed per the previous approval including the open space, fencing, utilities, sidewalks, and public roads. Because the all of the subdivision improvements are constructed, the Applicant has submitted the previously approved final plat documents from the previous application and an Alternative Compliance(ALT)application to allow the existing open space approved with the original submittal to remain as is without requiring the plat to comply with the current open space and amenity standards. Due to the unique circumstances behind the expiration of the plat and the fact that the improvements are all done, staff believes additional open space and amenities are not necessary. Below is staff s analysis the ALT request. PLAT DATA: The two phases of Timberline Subdivision totaled 57 single-family residential building lots on approximately 17.3 acres of land. The subject phase 2 area proposes 33 building lots and 4 common lots on 9.8 acres which constitutes a gross density of 3.26 du/ac for this phase,consistent with previous approvals and the comprehensive plan designation of Medium Density Residential (MDR). 33-foot wide local streets with 5-foot wide attached sidewalks are constructed throughout the development which allows for on-street parking where no driveways are present. The subject plat contains approximately 0.7 acres of qualified open space(common lots and half of the Victory Road buffer)and the overall Timberline Subdivision is approved for approximately 1.9 acres of qualified open space which amounts to approximately 11%, above the previous requirement to provide a minimum of 10% qualified open space. The amenities exist within the phase 1 area and include a child's play structure and play area and a shaded picnic area. Because the submitted plans match the previously approved phase 2 final plat,Staff has included those previous conditions of approval as the conditions of approval for this application. Public Works has no comments on the subject application as all improvements have been constructed in accord with the approved construction drawings. Staff finds the proposed combined preliminary/final plat meets all UDC dimensional standards and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as previously approved. ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE FINDINGS (UDC 11-5B-M: Applicant is requesting Alternative Compliance to the Common Open Space & Amenity standards outlined in UDC 11-3G-3 which require projects within the R-8 zoning district to have a minimum of 15% qualified open space. As discussed, the proposed combined preliminary/final plat is for an area that has received previous preliminary and final plat approvals but did not receive final plat signature prior to the plat expiring despite having all open space, roadways, sidewalks, and utilities fully constructed. Because of the described circumstances, Staff recommends approval of the Alternative Compliance request because strict adherence of the requirements is not feasible as described below. Specific findings to the subject request are as follows: 1. Strict adherence or application of the requirements are not feasible; or Staff finds strict adherence of the open space and amenity requirements is physically feasible but would be burdensome on the Applicant to comply because the development's foundation of roadways and utilities are already in place for both phase I and phase 2 of the project area. Requiring additional open space to meet the minimum 15%overall would require the loss of building lots to add approximately 0.7 acres of additional qualified open space. Staff does not find strict adherence to this standard necessary as the building lots within this phase of Timberline have an average lot size of approximately 8,000 square feet(minimum lot size for R-4 zoning district)which allow for larger private yards for recreation. Furthermore, the Page 2 Page 236 item#12. EXHIBIT A phase I area contains a large open space lot linked with adjacent open space in the Jocelyn Park Subdivision to the east where all Timberline residents would be able to enjoy and utilize open space. 2. The alternative compliance provides an equal or superior means for meeting the requirements; and The alternative means does not exceed the minimum open space requirements of the current open space code but Staff finds the previous approvals for approximately 11%qualified open space overall to be an equal means of meeting the requirements when all development criteria are taken into account: lot sizes,pedestrian access, adjacent open space, and area of open space lots in phase 1. 3. The alternative means will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or impair the intended uses and character of surrounding properties. Staff finds the proposed open space will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or impair the intended uses and character of surrounding properties. The Director has granted approval of the subject Alternative Compliance request per the findings above. IV. DECISION A. Staff: Staff recommends approval of the subject combined preliminary/final plat per the conditions of approval in Section VI and the findings in Section VII and the Director has approved the alternative compliance request per the Findings above.
