The applicant gave the following reasons to support their
application:
·
They are required to
accommodate the equestrian trail.
·
They are required to
dedicate
·
Street front design
enhances the RNP-1
·
The net lot sizes
meet Title 30 standards.
·
If the public road
dedication is included the gross lot sizes meet or exceed 20,000 sq. ft.
·
Forty-foot front set
back setback would create an open neighborhood look.
The neighbors gave these reasons against the application:
·
19 neighbors were
opposed to the current design.
·
Some neighbors
wanted the entire project denied.
·
Some neighbors liked
the original cul-de-sac design.
·
Concerned with the
amount of fill required.
·
Desire the roads to
be rural standards including the collectors.
·
Concerned with the
potential for increased flooding to the east.
·
The lot width is too
narrow and will result in an all two story development.
TAB consideration and positions:
·
The gross lot size
is a title 30 standard that should not waived.
o
Title 30 allows a
reduced net lot size to compensate for road dedications.
o
The surrounding
developed lots are 20,000 sq. ft. gross or greater.
o
There are no natural
or physical barriers to justify gross lot reduction.
o
Allowing 58% of the
lots not to meet Title 30 standards is a very poor precedent.
·
The narrow width of
the lots could lead to several problems.
o
20 ft. of the width
is taken up by side setbacks.
o
It would be
difficult to design homes that are compatible with the area and not require
setback waivers.
o
The greatest number
of homes and most desired home design in the area is a single story home; a
single story home on such proposed narrow lots poses significant design issues.
·
The applicant does have
an excellent design for stepping down the grade to avoid excessive fill and
retaining walls.
o
The current design
allows a grade reduction for each lot from west to east along
o
Cul-de-sacs along
o
The current design
would produce a more open neighborhood in line with desired RNP
characteristics.
·
The increased
finished grade waiver applies along
o
The house pads would
be built up, then grade would be reduced to the natural grade along eastern boundary.
o
This is an excellent
design.
The TAB recommends the reduced lot size waiver and Design
Review for a single family development be denied due
to reduced gross lot sizes. The TAB noted
that some aspects of this project are well designed and hopefully will be
carried over to a plan with larger lots sizes.
Wigwam Ave. and
The homes fronting on
The
TAB made two additional recommendations.
Given the neighborhood interest, any significant plan changes should be

adjacent to existing single story homes should be developed as single story

The TAB requests the rear yard setback reduction be

The TAB is concerned that the hammer head design does not
provide sufficient turning room. There
have been reports that hammerheads on 25-foot-wide streets have resulted in
Republic Services trash containers having to be placed on the main road for
pick up. The hammerheads are located at
the end of a 47-foot-wide street and may not pose a problem.
There is a 200 ft. NV Energy easement cutting through the
property. Other developers have made
improvements to these easements to create additional neighborhood open
space. The TAB suggested the applicant
do the same.
