Commissioner Gribou moved to recommend approval of the preliminary plat for the Myrna's Cove Subdivision in the City's E.T.J. with staff recommendations. Commissioner Lightfoot seconded the motion which passed unopposed (5 - 0). (Commissioner Hall was not present during the consideration of this agenda item.) AGENDA ITEM N0.3: Consideration of a site plan for The Arbors of Wolf Pen Creek multi-family development to be located on 8.5 acres along the north side of Holleman just east of the Kyle Avenue extension in the Wolf Pen Creek zoning district. (95-505) Senior Planner Kuenzel presented the staff report and informed the Commission that this project is the third major development proposed in the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor (WPC). The plan submitted is for a 172 unit apartment development to cover 8.5 acres. The Commission has the ultimate approval authority of all plans in the Corridor. In order to approve a WPC project, the Commission must find that the following goals have been achieved: (1) minimum ordinance standards; (2) logic of design; (3) harmonious and compatible materials and architecture; (4) adequate provisions for circulation (vehicular and pedestrian and for space utilization); and, (5) ease of maintenance. Senior Planner Kuenzel stated that the Design Review Board reviewed the proposal on August 17, 1995 with the previous standards in mind. The applicants presented the site plan as well as color and material samples at that meeting. The Board found that in general, the proposal met the intent of the district. The Board recommended specifically that approval of the site plan be conditioned upon the following changes: (1) redistribution of some of the landscaping toward the future Kyle Avenue extension; (2) bricking of any slab that has been substantially exposed due to topography difficulties; and, (3) dedication of 35' of right-of--way pursuant to City Council direction for the future extension of Kyle Avenue. Senior Planner Kuenzel stated that this request also includes a driveway variance because technically the entrance drives do not meet separation requirements of the Driveway Access Ordinance. As a part of this development, the applicants intent to improve the section of Lassie Lane shown on the site plan. This right-of--way was dedicated as a part of the Pooh's Park Addition but was never constructed. Lassie Lane will be upgraded to street standards and maintained by the City. Access to the site will be taken off of the future dead-end of Lassie Lane with an access point leading to the office and club house to be taken off the east side of Lassie Lane. Due to the fact that Lassie Lane will be a relatively short street that leads directly into the complex, vehicular speeds will be slow and staff anticipates little traffic problems with this request and recommended approval of the variance. Should there be a future request for another drive off of Lassie Lane, it will be reviewed at that time as a separate request. Staff recommended approval of the site plan with the conditions outlined in the Wolf Pen Creek Design Review Board report including the driveway variance request.
