Utilities (electrical,telephone,Cable <br /> television, natural gas, etc.) 10' <br /> Staff Findings: We have reviewed the application and propose the following findings of <br /> fact for you to consider: <br /> 1. The land is zoned Wooded Residential, which is a zoning classification that <br /> allows the type of development proposed for this subdivision. The ordinance <br /> does not contain any bulk and density standards for a Wooded Residential <br /> zoning classification, although the Planning Commission has indicated that a <br /> lot size of 40,000 square feet would be appropriate. <br /> 2. The property contains some steep slopes that will hinder residential <br /> development,although there is adequate building room on all four lots. <br /> 3. Lot 1 and Lot 2, although they have steep topography,would be able to be <br /> developed for residential use without major topographic alteration. A <br /> dwelling could be placed on the ridge of Lot 1 with an access drive placed at a <br /> reasonable grade. Lot 2 is already developed with a home and three accessory <br /> structures. <br /> 4. Lot 3 and Lot 4 are marginally buildable due to steep topography. There is <br /> room for dwellings on the property. Access to the dwelling sites is improved <br /> through the installation of a cul-de-sac. <br /> 5. Soils are indicated to be very suitable for onsite sewage treatment. <br /> 6. There is adequate room on Lots 1, 2 and 4 for construction of two standard <br /> individual sewage treatment systems. <br /> 7. It is unclear if Lot 3 has adequate are for the construction of two standard <br /> individual sewage treatment systems. The area that is high and buildable on <br /> the lot will be needed for the dwelling and access drive. The remaining land <br /> is on a steep slope that will be inundated with stormwater during rain events. <br /> 8. Lots 1 and 2 abut North Oak Street, a publicly maintained street, and are <br /> accessible off of the minimum of 33-feet of public right-of-way. <br /> 9. Lots 3 and 4 are proposed to access off of public right-of-way to be dedicated <br /> for a cul-de-sac. <br /> Planning Commission Direction: The Commission can review the preliminary plat and <br /> find that it conforms,with conditions as necessary,to the requirements of the Ordinance <br /> and the Comprehensive Plan and recommend that it be approved. The Commission could <br /> find areas where the plan does not conform and then either recommend denial of the <br /> preliminary plat or table it to allow for changes to be made. The Commission can also <br /> table the request for more review or to obtain additional information. <br /> Keep in mind, once the preliminary plat is approved,the applicant must only complete <br /> the items required for the final plat and any conditions included in the preliminary plat in <br /> order to receive approval. The final plat process is simply a review to certify that these <br /> October 2004 Staff Report Page 9 <br />
