The area on the east side of Haven is planned
for Office Professional land use. Prior to the last land use plan update this
area was Rural Neighborhood Preservation.
The residents requested the change to a commercial designation when they
through a casino was planned west of Haven.
The property to the west is now being developed as a multi-family. This leaves the residents in a quandary as to
the development direction for their property.
Will it go commercial, remain rural or go high density residential?
Normally, off-sites would not be waived where
commercial land is on both sides of a street and the area is planned for
commercial use. In this case, the
uncertain development direction in the area is a good reason to preserve the current
rural nature east of Haven. If the area
remains rural the off-sites will match the area. If the area goes commercial or high density
residential the off-sites can be installed as the development occurs. The Restrictive Covenant agreement gives the
County a method to require the off-sites waived by this application.

The applicant indicates the right-of-way is

west, north, and east, all of which are abutting the proposed right-of-way, are
all under the control of the applicant.
Hinson is a 1/8 section line street and access
to the eastern parcels can be provided from Pyle to the north and Haleh to the
south. The one concern the TAB had was
this application has four separate parcels, two of which could be sold
separately and require additional access.

Waiver
of Development Standards
The TAB’s primary concern is the blocking of
the two single access points by school traffic.
There is a potential for the school traffic to block access to the
subdivision and prevent emergency vehicles from entering. This is a problem in other parts of
Mountain’s Edge. The TAB added the
condition for crash gates to be added to each part of the project. This would provide secondary access for
emergency vehicles.
The TAB concern with modified roll curb is how
well it handles water runoff. The
condition was added that roll curb could be used as long as a drainage study
indicated it was adequate to handle the runoff.
The TAB views the back of curb return reduction
as a safety hazard. However, this view
has not been supported by the Commissions to whom the TAB makes its recommendations. Also, Public Works has not recommended the
Waiver of Developmental Standards be denied for this item.

REVIEW for a
single family residential development on 7.6 acres in an R-D (Suburban Estates
Residential) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone in the Mountain’s
Edge Master Planned Community. Generally
located on the east
side of
The TAB has noted the master developer has not
visibility enforced the development standards for Mountain’s Edge. This has led to the residents’ frustration as
their expectations have not been meet.
The TAB has to deal with that frustration as each new project in
Mountain’s Edge comes forward.
The TAB discussed three areas of concern with
this project.
The TAB position is the equestrian trail must
be built using the MP-0420-02 trail cross section. The residents of the adjacent RNP agreed to
be included in the Mountain’s Edge Concept Area and were promised an equestrian
trial as part of the agreement. To date,
this promise has not been kept. The
applicant position is since other subdivisions have not built the trail to
specification, they should not be required to.
There are more waivers of development
standards the TAB would like to see. There are several mitigating factors which
led to TAB recommendation for approval.
·
The
density is 2.5 units per acre where 3.5 is allowed
·
The
lots adjacent to the RNP are 12,000 sq. ft.
·
The
waivers apply to specific house plans and will not be required for the entire
project.
·
The
houses along 29 ft roads will have 2 car garages and 20 ft. driveways.
The La Baron off-sites need to be resolved by
Public Works. Public Works condition
requires that full of-sites be installed on La Baron. The applicant stated there is construction
that needs to be accomplished before the off-sites on La Baron can be
installed. They also indicated there is
a bond for the work to done on La Baron.
The TAB does not have the information to recommend a resolution.
