RESOLUTION NO. 52, SERIES 1994 - FINAL SUBDMSION PLAT, FINAL PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND SPECIAL REVIEW USE - CENTENNIAL II - MCSTAIN ENTERPRISES Davidson opened the public heating calling. Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that the property is zoned residential estate. The Final Subdivision Plat proposes to plat the property as a single lot with access easements to correspond to the proposed driveway (24' width) configuration. The Special Review Use per the Louisville Municipal Code, per Section 17.12.030 provides that a multi-family use is a permitted use in the R-E zoned District as a Special Review Use only. The Special Review Use is being considered in conjunction with the Final Development Plan. The Final PUD Development Plan proposes a total of 25 buildings on the 9.6 acre parcel, clustered into 3 - 5 unit configurations, resulting in 105 attached units. Unit distribution is proposed as 75 two-bedroom units and 30 three-bedroom units. Each unit has an attached two car garage. No clubhouse is proposed for the development. The net density is approximately 11.1 dwelling units per acre. Overall building heights are a maximum of 27'6", the overall height of the tallest side of the building on the downhill side. The exceptions are six buildings facing Owl Drive, which have a maximum height of 25'6". Total building coverage is 21% as compared to a maximum lot coverage of 20% in the R-E Zone District. There is 52% open space. If the yards were excluded from the open space calculation, it would drop down to 44%. The PUD proposes minimum building setbacks of 50' from Via Appia, Pine Street, and Owl Drive. A minimum building setback from the rear property lines along West Pinyon Way is 90'. The proposed building setbacks exceed the minimum front yard setback required in the R-E Zone District of 30'. Primary access is proposed off of Via Appia with secondary access off of Owl Drive, with the Via Appia access being located at the same point on Via Appia as the Recreation Center's delivery access. If authorized, the city will need to grant an access easement across its property for the proposed access. The applicant is proposing to dedicate by plat Outlot A, 35,599 s.f. in area, located in the southwest corner of the development to off-set the land which would be taken for the access easement. Staff did not support the dedication of the outlot as its design and location identifies it more as a private amenity than a public facility. It will be a three phase development, with the first phase consisting of 17 units in four buildings near the Via Appia entrance, with proposed completion in 1994. The second phase consists of 52 units in 12 buildings along the southern boundary of the project, with completion in 1995. Phase III would be the remaining 36 units in nine buildings adjacent to Via Appia. He commented that the revised documents have incorporated revisions as requested by staff on July 5, 1994, and July 25, 1994. The Planning Commission held a public heating on August 8, 1994, and voted to approve Resolution No. 3 SA, Series 1994, disapproving the Centennial II Final Subdivision Plat, Final PUD Development Plan, and Special Review Use by a vote of 4 - 1. The Commission approved the findings as part of Resolution No. 35A, Series 1994, on August 18, 1994. Wood stated that staff recommended that the Planning Commission findings be upheld based upon the findings adopted in Resolution No. 35A, Series 1994. He commented that, if Council desires to disapprove Centennial II Final Subdivision Plat, Final PUD Development Plan, and Special Review Use, they accept a motion to approve Resolution No. 52, Series 1994.
