a density of 10 dwelling units per acre. The subject property is just under
11 acres in size, is relatively level in area and is located southeasterly of
'H' Street and northwesterly of the proposed beach club and lake. The project
is served by a public road system proposed with access from the main loop road
serving the EastLake Shores area. Lower density single family is proposed for
residential develotment t ro.o southwest of

Planned Community District Regulations
Development standards for the property are contained in the EastLake I Planned
Community District Regulations. Many of the standards for the site in
question such as lot coverage and setbacks are listed as SP which means that
the issues are to be addressed at the site plan level . In this regard the
Design Review Committee on August 15, 1985, conditionally approved the site
plan and elevations for the project, including a set of development standards
which will be recorded along with the final subdivision map (refer to Exhibit
B).
Project Description
The project involves the creation of 93 single family residential lots served
by a bisected loop street system (streets designated A, C, D and E on the
Tentative Map would be named Westport Street, while Street B would be named
Bridgeport Street). The rear yards of lots on three sides of the project
would be exposed to public streets abutting the site.
The lots range in size from 2,767 sq. ft. to 7,456 sq. ft. with an average lot
size of over 3,000 sq. ft. (in conformance with the PC District Regulations).
The project features four floor plans. Two of the plans are single story,
two-bedroom units, ranging in square footage from 936 to 1 ,034; a third plan
features a single story, three-bedroom unit or two-bedrooms and a study of
1262 sq.ft. and the fourth plan features a two-story three-bedroom unit of
approximately 1371 sq.ft. The two-story plan is limited to 28 lots. Each of
the dwellings will contain a two-car garage to meet the EastLake off-street
parking requirements.
ANALYSIS:
The various building offsets that are provided in the house designs together
with the limitation on the number of two-story units being provided within the
development, will allow for a fairly pleasant street scene. Also a modest but
adequate area of private usable open space will be provided on each lot. The
combination of lot size, coupled with the proposed building development and
the exposure of the rear yards in this development to three different public
rights-of-way, will require careful attention as to any future construction
beyond the original dwelling.
Both lot coverage and setbacks are established with site plan review. As a
result, a set of development standards has been proposed which would govern
future building additions (refer to Exhibit B). These standards would, among
other things, prohibit any room additions--providing only for limited open
patio construction and a portable storage shed provided it is properly
screened.

The EastLake standards call for a solid theme wall design for the lots backing
up to 'H' Street and the entry coming into the Shores area. The applicant has
an option on the theme wall design facing the "H" Street and loop area to use
a combination solid wall and wrought iron to allow for views toward the beach
club area, as well as minimizing the impact of the shorter rear yard areas
within the individual lots (see standards attached). It is the applicant's
intent to provide interior fencing to insure privacy within the individual
lots with the proposed fencing to be finished off on the corner lots in a
color scheme and height that would complement the proposed landscaping in that
area. The DRC conditioned their approval on the requirement that a fencing
plan be submitted for approval to review the aspects listed above.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
