17. Off -Site Dedications and Improvements: The public works <br />department has stated that no additional right-of-way is <br />required from the site's 4th Street frontage. An 8' wide <br />bikepath is required along the site's 4th Street frontage, and <br />must be installed prior to issuance of a certificate of <br />completion for the project. <br />•Plan Development Special Exception: <br />18. Landscaping/Buffering/Lot Dimension: Compatibility standards <br />for a PD such as this one require a 25' wide perimeter setback <br />as well as perimeter buffer areas. The submitted PD <br />preliminary plan/plat depicts the required 25' wide setback <br />and appropriate buffers. The landscaping plan submitted with <br />the PD preliminary plat meets the landscaping requirements of <br />LDR Chapter 926 and the PD buffer standards of LDR section <br />915.16. <br />Note: The largest lots are proposed to be located along the <br />project perimeters, especially along the eastern perimeter <br />abutting RS -3 zoning. The smallest lots are located away from <br />the perimeters, internal to the project. In addition, pools <br />and related structures (e.g. screen enclosures) are proposed <br />to be set back a minimum of 25' along the perimeter rear <br />yards. Normal LDR provisions would allow such structures to <br />be located to within 10' of the perimeter. <br />19. Waivers and Compatibility: Through the PD process, the <br />applicant has requested waivers from the LDR standards. The <br />applicant has requested the following waivers: <br />1. Reduce the minimum lot size from 12,000 square feet to <br />9,830 square feet minimum for interior lots of the <br />project. <br />2. Reduce the minimum side yard setback from 15' to 10' for <br />all lots within boundaries of the project. <br />Through the LDRs, PD projects may be allowed waivers and <br />design flexibility for providing buffering, recreation areas, <br />pedestrian walkways, and other improvements that exceed normal <br />subdivision requirements. At staff's suggestion, the <br />applicant has agreed to provide for a pedestrian <br />interconnection to the adjacent RS -3 zoned property to the <br />east. It is staff's position that this project is compatible <br />with the surrounding area. In staff's opinion, this project <br />and the requested waivers are justified for several reasons. <br />First, a significant portion of the project is made up of <br />common lake and common recreation/open space. These areas <br />contribute toward the overall project's open space rather than <br />being distributed in small portions throughout all or most of <br />the project's lots. <br />DECEMBER 17, 1996 53 - PqL1- DO <br />RS -3 <br />Internal <br />North <br />South <br />Fast <br />West Perimeter <br />Criteria <br />Lots <br />Perimeter <br />Perimeter <br />Perimeter <br />Lots <br />Lots <br />Late <br />Lots <br />Lot Width- <br />80t <br />25' <br />85' <br />90' <br />150. <br />85' - 150, <br />i rear <br />Number of <br />lots <br />108 <br />Be <br />17 <br />15 <br />8 <br />10 <br />House <br />sideyard <br />15' <br />10' <br />10' <br />10' <br />10' <br />10' <br />setback <br />15' <br />10' <br />10' <br />10' <br />10' <br />10' <br />Through the LDRs, PD projects may be allowed waivers and <br />design flexibility for providing buffering, recreation areas, <br />pedestrian walkways, and other improvements that exceed normal <br />subdivision requirements.
