City Council Meeting Minutes July 7, 2009 Page 7 of 11 RESOLUTION No. 25, SERIES 2009 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING PARBOIS PLACE FINAL SUBDIVISION PLAT AND FINAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT Mayor Sisk requested a Staff presentation. Planning Director Wood explained the applicant, ACME Terrace LLC, represented by Mr. Garrett Mundelein, has submitted final documents initiating a land use request for a Final Subdivision Plat and a Final PUD Development Plan. The total land holdings of the three ownership parcels is 1.2 acres and is located on the southwest corner of County Road and Elm Street with frontage on Elm Street and County Road. The subject property is zoned RM and is subject to the Old Town Overlay District. The applicant is requesting authorization of the required land-use entitlements to plat three ownership parcels into a six lot subdivision for residential development. The development proposal is consistent with conditions established by both Planning Commission and City Council during the preliminary plat and PUD review. The density has been reduced to a total of 15 units (10 townhome units and 5 single family units). In review of the final subdivision plat staff focused on an analysis of the public-use dedication, the provision of flood plain development, and access. Public-Use Dedication: Section 16.16.060 of the Louisville Subdivision Code requires upon the initial subdivision of a parcel the subdivider dedicate to the City a minimum of 12% of the land for non-residential land uses and 15% for residential land uses for the use of parks, schools and other public uses. It was the position of staff, as affirmed by the City Attorney's office; the Parbois Subdivision Plat is required to create and dedicate lots, tracts, or parcels and therefore constitutes a subdivision of the property. Staff worked with the applicant and developed a methodology to calculate a fee in-lieu of land in the amount $9,738. 100 Year ReQulatorv Floodplain: The northerly portion of the subject property (portion of Lots 3 and 5, and all of Lot 4) is currently within the AH Flood Designation Zone within the 100 year flood district. A flood plain development permit was approved by the Board of Adjustment on July 11,2007. In accordance with the conditions of approval of the Flood Plain Development Permit, a certified elevation certificate shall be submitted for each building after a foundation pour and a second elevation certificate prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Access: In response to Section 17.12.050 (G) of the Old Town Overlay District, the Planning Commission conditioned its preliminary approval on the requirement that the PUD and plat be revised to incorporate an access to County Road. The access to County Road has been incorporated into the attached development plan. The internal driveway has been dedicated as a 20' access easement on the
