V. STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed final plat depicts ten (10) single-family residential building lots and four (4) cormnon
lots on 6 acres of land, zoned R-2. The gross density of the plat is 1.67 dwelling units per acre. All of
the lots proposed for this phase of development are for single-family detached homes and comply
with the dimensional standards of the R-2 zoning district.
The open space proposed with the plat includes a collector street buffer, 8-foot wide parkways along
the proposed local streets and an 11,509 square foot passive open space lot. The proposed open space
totals 27,986 square feet which is approximately 10.6% open space for this phase. The open space is
consistent with the overall project open space requirements approved with the preliminary plat.
Originally, a gazebo was planned for the passive open space lot (Lot 1 I, Block 1) with phase I of the
development however; the applicant Iran elected to install a pool facility with the development of
phase 2. Staff has included in the final plat file written documentation requesting the pool facility
replace the requirement for the gazebo amenity. Since the proposed pool facility amenity is an
upgrade to the approved gazebo and still provides the required amenity, staff is amenable to the
amenity swap.
Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for substantial compliance with the approved preliminary
plat. Because the number of buildable lots and common open space is the same, staff deems the final
plat to be in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat as required by UDCI I-6B-
3C.2.
