C. from the subdivision ordinance requirements that minor <br />residential street rights-of-way with swale drainage be <br />60 feet (the plans propose a 50 ft. right-of-way with <br />swale drainage). <br />The proposed PRD special exception use and conditionally approved <br />preliminary plan are in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan <br />and applicable zoning and subdivision regulations. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant PRD <br />special exception approval to the Catalina Oaks PRD project. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. <br />Dr. Avery Slesser informed the Board that he lives in <br />Waverly Place, which is bounded by 6th Avenue on one side and <br />10th Street on the other. His concern has to do with the type of <br />structures that will be built insofar as they might affect the <br />property values in Waverly Place. He also felt the number of <br />units to be erected on this site seems excessive, and in <br />addition, was concerned that the entrance to the proposed <br />development will be off of 10th Street which is a very narrow <br />lane and feared there will be a great deal of congestion. <br />Director Keating pointed out that, first of all, the <br />applicant did not have to come through the PRD process, and in <br />RM -10 zoning, he could have put up apartments at a considerably <br />higher density than the 6.5 units per acre which is planned. <br />Waverly Place is 12 upa, or almost double. In reference to <br />access, Director Keating stated that it really would not be <br />advantageous to have access off 6th Avenue, which is a secondary <br />collector roadway. South of 10th Street is a drainage canal; <br />10th Street is a paved public road, and the applicant will be <br />paving his access road going to the north so that it conforms to <br />the roadway from Waverly Place going north/south, and then he <br />will have dual cu( -de -sacs going east/west. The applicant will <br />provide internal streets with sidewalks within the project and <br />also sidewalks on the north side of 10th Street. <br />Dr. Slesser realized the road can't be widened to the south <br />because of the canal but did not see why it can't be widened to <br />the north. <br />0V 1997 31 BooK 70 Fdr,F 173 <br />L <br />
