VARIANCE REQUEST
The Developer is requesting a Variance consideration for the following item:
Block Length
According to Staffs interpretation of the Subdivision Regulations (Section 12-K.2, Block Lengths), subdivisions
are required to plat blocks with lengths not to exceed 1,500 LF. The Developer is requesting a Variance to the
Subdivision Regulations to allow for a block length of 1,972 LF, or a 472 LF Variance.
Currently, Drake Drive meets the block length requirement on the east side of the street with block lengths of 992
LF and 980 LF (see Exhibit A). The existing Block Length rule within the Subdivision Regulations does not state
clearly that streets are required to meet the requirement on both sides. The Developer believes that, with the
above-mentioned block lengths (which are less than 1,500 LF), Drake Drive meets the intent of the Block Length
requirement, which is to provide street access relief at periodic locations along the length of the street. The
Developer is submitting this Variance Request at the request of Staff due to Staffs different opinion of the vague
requirement.
Response to Subdivision Regulations, Section 5,Variances:
5-A.1: The Developer is requesting the block length variance in order to accommodate the following:
• Existing Platted Lots— The portion of Drake Drive within the scope of this Variance is that which
extends in front of Lots 1-13, Block 3 and Lot 4, Block 4. Currently Lots 1-13, which are part of Phase
2, are either sold with homes constructed or under construction or exist as lots under contract for
purchase. Since homes are built on the vast majority of the lots in the area of question, it would be
impossible to provide an additional point of relief to the west along this portion of Drake Drive.
• Existing Site Conditions and Buildability of Lots— In the southern area of the portion of Drake Drive
within the scope of this Variance, their exists a stream. The Developer chose to align Retriever Run
just to the southwest of the stream to minimize the amount of impact to the stream and to provide for
a lot (Lot 4, Block 4) with suitable area for the construction of a home. Refer to Exhibit A for more
details.
• Future Planned Street Extension— In a future phase, the Developer plans to provide for a relief point
that aligns with Widgeon Trail Drive on the north side of Lot 1, Block 3. This is shown on Exhibit A as
"future road extension". This street will extend to the west to provide access to other portions of the
property.
It is the position of the Developer that the proposed street layout takes into account existing site
conditions and platting issues and provides for the best alternative considering these conditions and
issues. The Developer understands Staff's concerns and intends to accommodate them in a reasonable
manner by providing street extensions north of and immediately adjacent to Lot 1, Block 3 and
immediately south of an existing stream than exists on the site. The Developer believes the solution
presented to be a reasonable response, considering the conditions and issues that exist.
5-A.2: The basis of any land use regulations is to provide a method to insure that the public good is met in every
new development within the community. If a developer is willing to create a product that provides
adequate streets and drainage in a manner that more appropriately addresses and utilizes the existing
site conditions, and provides a suitable quality of life for its inhabitants, as is the case with the proposed
subdivision, then the intent of land use regulations has been met. To deprive a developer, who wishes to
meet the intent of land use regulation but in a way slightly different than standard procedure, of the ability
to turn their vision into reality is a denial of the developer's "enjoyment of a substantial property right."

DUCK HAVEN PHASES 3—PRELIMINARY PLAT
5-A.3: With the proposed development, the Developer intends to provide adequate streets, drainage, suitable
access for emergency vehicles, provide a quality of life desirable to the inhabitants of the subdivision, and
create a product consistent with the land use of the surrounding property. Based on this, the proposed
subdivision "will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property in
the area."
5-A.4: The proposed development "will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of land in the
area" primarily due to its location within a parent tract that has been previously subdivided into a land use
type complimentary to the proposed development. Additional development within the area is currently
being developed in an "orderly" fashion maintaining consistency with the residential land useype initially
planned for the area.
