APPROVE per staff conditions and

CHANGE Current Planning bullet #1 to read:

·         Until September 6, 2018 to commence;

 

This is an appropriate project along Blue Diamond.  Given the observed area development pattern, the TAB felt that a three year extension is appropriate.

APPROVE per staff conditions and,

CHANGE Current Planning bullet #8 to read:

·         Block wall along the east property line to be decorative and all walls to be a minimum of 8 feet high: will not be required if natural grade can be maintained along the eastern property line;

 

The applicant requested that Current Planning Bullet # 8 be deleted.  The eastern boundary will consists of an intense landscape buffer and 100 feet of power line easement.   However, the power line easement can be used for parking RVs.  The TAB’s consistent recommendation is redundant walls should not be built where possible.  The TAB opinion: if the current grade can be maintained along the current 6 ft. wall along with the intense landscape buffer is a good solution.  If not, the redundant wall should be built.

APPROVE Zone Change;

DENY Waiver of Development Standard #1;

APPROVE Waivers of Development Standards # 2, 3, & 4;

DENY Waiver of Conditions;

DENY Design Review 1 & 2.

 

The applicant presented the TAB incomplete information on this project. The missing information included the Tentative Map, designs for the homes, alternate routing for water easement and grading profile diagrams.  The applicant, in two instances, indicated agreements were made to mitigate negative staff/agency conditions, yet no changes to the staff analysis or conditions was received by the TAB.

 

The neighbors do not oppose this area being developed as residential.  There is strong opposition to 37.5 high home on 6.5 ft. of fill and Ford Ave. not being fully dedicated.

 

The TAB recommends the following be approved.

 

The zone change is conforming and matches the other 7.5 acres in the project.

 

Waiver of Development Standards # 2 has been consistently approved by the TAB.

 

Waiver of Development Standards # 3 is appropriate for the project.  However the TAB is concerned that the requested 6 ½ ft. of fill will require additional waivers for over height walls.  That waiver will be difficult to turn down because the applicant has an approved plan.  If the over height waiver is need it should done with the zone change so the impact on the neighborhood can be determined.

 

Waiver of Development Standard # 4, the TAB could not determine if the R-type curb is the same or different from the roll curb previously approved. The staff agenda sheet contained the following: “This curb is not approved to be used continuously because it does not work with the utility boxes located in the sidewalk”.  The applicant stated the Public Works objection had been resolved.  No revision received to the staff agenda sheet.

 

The TAB recommends the following be denied.

 

Waiver of Development Standards # 1, the TAB has normally approved this waiver.  However, the TAB noted the increased grade of 6 ½ ft.  plus a 37.5 ft. home tops out at 44 ft. above the natural grade.  The TAB opinion is this is too high for the neighborhood.

 

Waiver of Condition to remove the dedication of Ford Ave is not appropriate for the following:

·         There is a neighborhood/developer negotiation agreement and BCC approved project that takes access from Ford Ave.

o        This was done to reduce the traffic on Torino Ave. at the neighborhood request.

·         Ford Ave. is required for future traffic distribution and access to the BLM parcels.

·         Ford Ave. alignment will serve the two BLM parcels to the east and south.

·         If Ford Ave. is not eventually developed to Redwood, additional traffic will be transferred to Torino Ave. (not desired by the neighbors) and Cougar Ave.

·         A truncated Ford Ave. only benefits the developer not the neighborhood.

·         The developer did not provide an alternate plan for water easement only a statement it would be worked out.

·         Ford Ave. maybe required to complete the closed loop water system on the two BLM parcels.

 

The public comment noted that America West had promised to work with the neighbors on this project design.  The applicant representative stated the Design Review was for the plot lay out only and further design discussion would include the neighbors as promised.  The Current Planning staff member present noted that home plans have been submitted to Current Planning and this was the final design review for the project.

 

No home plans for Design Review #1 were presented to the TAB and Ford Ave. not being fully dedicated resulted in the TAB recommendation for denial.

 

Design Review # 2 was not supported with the required slope diagrams.  The applicant referred to a point on the plot plan to support this design review.  It could not be determined by the TAB if an alternate grading design would lower the required fill and decrease the overall height above the natural grade.  Due to the lack of information presented and apparent detrimental neighborhood effects, the TAB recommends denial.
