PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: At its meeting of December 11, 2014, the Planning & Zoning Commission (PZC) voted unanimously (6-0) to recommend that the BCC approve the special exception use and conceptual planned development (PD) plan with staff recommended conditions. Staffs recommendation included a condition that a 15' wide tree preservation area proposed by the applicant be increased to a width of 25'. During the PZC hearing, several surrounding property owners expressed concerns about maintaining the tree -lined street character of 46th Avenue, and expressed support of staffs recommendation to increase the originally proposed tree preservation area width from 15' to 25' (see attachment #3). Consistent with the recommendation from staff and the PZC, the applicant has now agreed to provide a 25' wide tree preservation area which is now shown on the revised conceptual PD plan. ANALYSIS 1. PD Area: 3.90 acres 2. Zoning Classification: RS -2, Residential Single -Family (up to 2 units per acre) 3. Land Use Designation: L-1, Low Density Residential -1 (up to 3 units per acre) 4. Residential Lots: 4 Single -Family Lots 5. Density: 6. Open Space: Proposed: 1.03 units per acre Maximum Allowed: 2.00 units per acre Required: 40.0% Provided: 87.0% Note: Open space area consists of a portion of the Hampton Woods East stormwater management area and private yards on the 4 proposed individual lots. 7. Utilities: The project will be served by County water and individual septic systems. Currently, County sewer service is not available to the project site and is not required under County connection requirements. The project includes a sanitary sewer sleeve (dry line) connection from 16t Street to the northeast corner of the project site and necessary utility easements to facilitate a future connection to sanitary sewer. Sanitary sewer service may become available and more feasible in the future if sewer lines are extended closer to the subject site. Prior to the PZC hearing, the County Utilities Department requested, and the applicant agreed, that the initially proposed 7' wide utility easement along the north property line be widened to 10' in order to accommodate a future sanitary sewer force main. During the PZC hearing, several surrounding property owners expressed concerns about the proposed provision of electric service. In response to those concerns, the applicant agreed to increase the proposed easement width to 15' and noted that the electric service would be provided underground. Those changes are now shown on the revised conceptual PD plan. The County Utilities Department and the Department of Health have approved these utility provisions.
