Mountains Edge applications do not have to
follow the current non-conforming zone change (NZC) procedures in Title
30. They are locked in 2002 Title 30
code, which did not have current NZC procedures. There was a major change to the NZC procedure
around 2004. The compelling
justification letter was added at that time.
The result is this application does not look like the NZC application
the TAB normally sees.
This zone change drew very little public
participation. There were no representatives from Focus or the Master HOA
present. The points presented were:
·
The
reduction of acreage for planned commercial uses within the Mountains Edge
Master Plan.
·
The
lack of neighborhood commercial within the community.
·
The
lack actual commercial development within the Mountains Edge Master Plan area.
·
The
impact on public services including schools with additional residential added
to the master plan.
·
The
potential for serious traffic conflict from too many off set intersections on
Cactus east of buffalo.
The commercial development envisioned by the
Mountains Edge master plan has not happened.
It is possible that Mountains Edge will be residential only community. The master plan execution has faltered
without active support of the master developer.
The last Design Review on this site was
strongly opposed due to the inclusion of a tavern. The development of a 10 acre commercial
center is dependent on an anchor tenant.
In this location, the anchor tenant is most likely a tavern or a
convenience store, both would likely draw opposition from the neighborhood. The
TAB opinion is the residential is a better fit for this location.
The Waiver of Development Standards 1a is an
example of developer requested blanket waiver.
The TAB is opposed to blanket waivers, especially those requesting of
100% reduction. The driveway to back of
curb radius reduction waiver has been opposed by the TAB for safety
reasons. When questioned the developer,
it was revealed at a five foot or greater driveway to back of curb radius was
planned. The TAB modified Waiver of
Development Standard 1a based upon the information provided.
The use of redundant walls should be
discouraged in residential neighborhoods. Title 30 does provide a method to
eliminate redundant walls and not meet the 6 ft. height requirement. The developer committed to not using a
redundant wall along the eastern boundary.
The TAB added this as a condition.
The development in the area may result in four
offset intersections with a short distance along Cactus east of
The TAB recommended the developer look at the
possibility of sidewalks along the private streets.

The TAB opinion is the site is well designed and will enhance
the area. This piece of land was
discussed by the TAB during the last land use plan as hard to develop due to
the irregular shape. The TAB discussion included
a detailed review of project design. This plan makes productive use of the
land.
The applicant accepts the staff if approved
conditions. The TAB opinion is the
irregular shape of the property and in place NDOT sidewalk are reasonable
circumstances to approve the requested waivers.
One TAB concern is unshelled lighting affection the
residential to the north. The developer
has done an excellent job of reducing spillover lighting on their other
projects in the area. The TAB added the
condition for pole mounted lighting to be shielded.

on 1.6 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone
in the MUD-3 Overlay District. Generally
located on the northwest corner of
When C-2 zoning was established on this
property the originally size was 8.6 acres. Part of the commerical land were rezoned to
residential uses. This resulted in a 1.6 acre C-2 commercial lot.
The building and signage are well designed and
will enhance the area. The applicant
accepts the staff If approved conditions.
The primary TAB question was the access to
The TAB opinion is access along Camaro would
increase traffic through the residential neighborhood that should be on Blue
Diamond or Arville. The Fire Department
may require a crash gate along Camaro.
This would provide the necessary emergency access while keeping
additional traffic generated by the business off Camaro. The TAB supported the staff position to deny
the Waiver of Development Standards.
Two other issues were noted. First, the site lighting must consider the
residential to the west. The developer has done an excellent job of reducing
lighting spillover on their other projects in the area. The TAB added the condition for pole mounted
lighting to be shielded.
The second is the possibility for a redundant wall on the
western boundary. It appears a
significant amount of fill was use on the residential area which could create a
significant height difference between the two walls. A redundant wall in this location would be dangerous
and degrade the site. Landscaping should
be used as the buffer to the residential. The TAB recommended a condition for
no redundant wall be constructed.

WAIVERS

for the following:
1) Allow modifications to standard drawings for
private street sections; and
2) Allow over-length dead-end streets.
Generally located on the west side of
The TAB noted the property to the north has a
small retaining wall, an offset and then the 6 ft. boundary wall. The TAB believes this creates a situation
where a redundant wall would not be beneficial for the neighborhood as the area
between the walls would be hard to secure.
TAB added a condition to not allow a redundant wall on north boundary.
The TAB placed a condition for the pole
lighting on the public and private streets to be shielded.
ADDITIONAL
BUSINESS

Enterprise 2014 Major Land Use update. The

PUBLIC
COMMENTS
1.
Report of broken street
light bulbs. A problem persists because
the street sweeper does not adequately clean roll-curbs. Also, there is potential pollution from the
mercury let loose from the broken bulbs.
2. Report of a problem with big-rig trucks from the truck stop on
Dean Martin and Blue Diamond parking along Dean Martin. Although there are “No Parking” signs at some
places along Dean Martin, and these are being enforced by Metro, trucks are
parking on Dean Martin north of Blue Diamond where there are no “no parking”
signs. This is a traffic hazard. Request that Public Works look at adding
additional “no parking” signs along Dean Martin.
