,. Board of Revdew Regular Meeting June 19,.1979 Page #2 . The Board of Planning reviewed the rezoning requests of R-103 and R-107 and recommended. that the property be rezoned R-1 and R-2. The Council will beholding a public hearing on the rezonings June 26, 1979. Staff indicated that the Board~is required by ordinance to take action on PRD #27 and that the Board has the following options: 1. Recommend denial; -__ _ ---.~_:~T:~:-2~--Recommend approval;----._-T_~ _ 3. Recommend approval with conditions; 4. Send application to Council without recommendation. Staff continued to comment on-the plan by noting that in using the PRD density calculation the total allowable number of units would be 128.u,nits under R-1 and R-2 zoning of the property. Without the PRD density calculation, 103 units would be allowed. The proposal before the Board includes a request for 114 units.: If the park land was to remain a part of 'the development a variance would not be needed for the proposal. Chairman Schmidt stated that the Board has three items to-act on; 1) the'Prelimi_nary Plan, PRD #27; 2) the Preliminary Plat, PL-118; and 3) a variance request, VN-206. Staff explained the reason-for the 3 actions. The prelimi-nary plat. deals with the subdivision and therefore thedesign and loca- tion of lots, streets, and open space. The variance request is needed because the land to be dedicated to the City for park land was used in calculating the density of the development. Presently, the City has no mechanism available for the donation of the property. A hardship would result if the City accepted the park land donation and subtracted that area out of the density calculation. If the variance was granted, it would serve as a trade-off to the developer for the density requested by .this .proposal. The action on the PRD #27 should be based on the com- bination of plat and general development plan. Commissio-ner Lang asked about the maintenance of the walkways in- dicated on the plan. Staff remarked that the. long. walkways would be privately main- - tained with the provision that passage couldn't be restricted. Commissioner Livingston inquired about the type of uses that the proposed park area could facilitate. Staff reported that if this area were to become a neighborhood park that the Park Board,: with the aid of neighborhood meetings would `~• determine the appropriate uses and facilities.
