Zoning District: PDD, Planned Development District Approved Land Uses: Single Family Residential, open space, and land buffers Location: 4300 SH 6 South, approximately Y2 mile north of Greens Prairie Road, west of SH 6 Applicant: Wallace Phillips for Spring Creek CS Development, CS Item Summary: The Concept Plan for the Spring Creek Gardens PDD was adopted in June • of this year. One of the modifications agreed upon was to lot width. Instead of the typical 50-ft. lot width, homes in Spring Creek Gardens will be a minimum of 45 feet. The UDO requires a 50-ft. width for a home to receive individual trash containers and service. With 45-ft. lots, the subdivision will have to provide three 12-ft. x 12-ft. dumpster enclosures in common areas. The applicant has proposed an amendment to the concept plan that will allow for the modification of sanitation standards to allow individual trash service for each lot. Item Back ground: The adopted purpose and intent of this PDD is "a single family residential community with amenities that provide for an enhanced quality of life". The applicant has proposed 52 residential lots on 9.698 acres (5.36 dwelling units/acre) with 0.719 acres of common areas that will be used for traffic calming, landscaping, drainage, and pedestrian connectivity to the adjoining neighborhood. The concept also shows the extension of a residential street (Whispering Creek) from Spring Creek Townhomes into and through the proposed development with a landscape easement on one side. Landscaping is also proposed along Spring Garden Drive (the ability to plant in the right-of-way will require a Public Improvement in the Public Right-of-Way Permit). Homes will vary from 15 to 35 feet in height. The subdivision will utilize existing drainage facilities. The following residential dimensional standards were adopted with this concept plan: UDO Standard PDD Standard Front setback 25 ft. 20 ft. Side setback 7.5 ft. 5 ft. • Lot area 5000 sq.ft. 4500 sq.ft. Lot width 50 ft. 45 ft. A modification to the block length will also be requested, but as it is a variance to a • Subdivision Regulation, it must be decided by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Sanitation Recommendations: Sanitation does not oppose single-family service for this subdivision. Administrator Recommendations: Staff recommends approval as submitted. Review Criteria: 1. The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony with the character of the surrounding area; 2. The proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, and any subsequently adopted Plans, and will be consistent with the intent and purpose of this Section; 3. The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not adversely affect adjacent development; 4. Every dwelling unit need not front on a public street but shall have access to a public street directly or via a court, walkway, public area, or area owned by a homeowners association; 5. The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but not limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities; 6. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and 7. The development will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of vehicular, bicycle, or • pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use and other uses reasonably anticipated in the area considering existing zoning and land uses in the area. Minimum Requirements: Unless otherwise indicated in the approved Concept Plan, the minimum requirements for this development are as stated in the Unified Development Ordinance for R-1 Single-Family Residential.

Several meritorious modifications to the Subdivision Regulations and Zoning Ordinance were approved to accommodate the proposed plan. One additional meritorious modification is being requested: • The Developer requests that individual solid waste containers with curb service be allowed for each single family residential lot instead of one eight-yard dumpster per sixteen dwelling units, as required by the UDO. • Spring Creek Gardens Subdivision Justification for Meritorious Modifications to City Standards October,2004 The Developer desires to develop the property as a single-family residential community with the target market for each home being retirees who desire a manageable size home with a smaller yard than a normal residence. The Unified Development Ordinance(UDO) requires that single family residential developments with lot widths less than 50' shall have solid waste service provided by an eight-cubic-yard dumpster for each 16 dwelling units instead of individual containers for curb service. The Developer is requesting individual container curb service for these lots because all the dwelling units will have garages, and the eight-cubic-yard dumpster pads and screen fences would have a negative impact on the neighborhood. Landscaping is proposed for this subdivision in the common areas and along the street,and dumpster pads will not fit into the improved aesthetics the Developer is trying to achieve. The lot widths proposed for the subdivision vary from 45' to 52'. The Developer could meet the 50' requirement by eliminating the common areas and making the lots at least 50' in width. However,this would also eliminate the uniqueness the Developer is trying to achieve with this development.
