Resolution to Approve Hideaway Lane Planned Project Site Plan and Development Agreement at 2000 Traver Road (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 6 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Attached is a resolution to approve the Hideaway Lane Planned Project Site Plan and Development Agreement. Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of 34 new duplex units in 17 buildings and a single family home on a 4.57 acre site.
Petition Summary:
The proposed development, zoned R4A Multiple-Family Residential, reconfigures a previously-conceived single-family development into a series of duplexes.
* The Site Plan proposes the construction of 34 new duplex units in 17 buildings and a single family home. Most units will be provided with a 2-car garage. A new, enclosed solid waste area will be provided on the north side of the site. Two wetlands are proposed to be enhanced. The project will also provide an expanded access easement to the property east of the site.
* A development agreement has been prepared to address a park contribution and easements.
* The petitioner is seeking planned project modifications to the site as follows:
o A ten feet reduction in rear yard setback from 30 to 20 feet where the site abuts the adjacent railroad ROW.
o A reduced building separation requirement from 20 to 10 feet.
The petitioner is proposing a slight increase in the provision of open space 65.5% rather than the minimum 65% (5,141 square feet). Staff notes that this increase is very minor, however, the proposed reduction in building separation is reasonable and consistent with the character of the neighborhood. The reduced building separation applied to the smaller duplex structures (rather than larger apartment block buildings) further responds to the surrounding neighborhood character.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of October 1, 2019, recommended approval of this request.
