D. (DISCUSSION: Existing site characteristics. a. The 5 acre project site consists of 10 existing parcels under six se rate ownerships located on the easterly slopes of a canyon between Second and Minot Avenues and north of "D" Street. The northerly extension of Las Flo es Drive will be located at the bottom of the canyon. Four of the existing par els are through lots with frontage on both Minot Avenue and the extension of Las Flores Drive. Each of these lots is developed with a single family dwelling fro ting on Minot Avenue; the other six parcels are vacant. b. The subject property has an average slope of 16.8 and a maximum slo of 28~. The runoff from the sides of the canyon drains north to the Swe twater River flood plain. Elevations of 35 feet or lower are within the 100 yea flood level and are subject to inundation. Tentative map. a. The developer intends to subdivide the 10 parcels into 20 single family residential lots with a minimum lot size of 7,000 sq. ft. The four lots dev loped with single family dwellings will be split, leaving four parcels (ra ging from 12,300 sq. ft. to 16,020 sq. ft.) fronting on Minot Avenue. The rea portion of these lots will be consolidated with the other parcels fronting on he extension of Las Flores and divided into 16 lots. Of the 16 lots, 7 will be nhandle lots with access to Las Flores Drive. iD7~~ rm A-1 3 (Rev. 11/79) Page 2, Item 5 , 5a Meeting Date 1/12/82 b. The panhandle lots are described as follows: 1. Lots 10 and 11 will receive access via a 20 foot common drive (10 feet on each property). Three guest parking spaces are provided as required by code; 2. Lots 12 and 13 are adjacent to one another but will receive individual access on each side of Lot 6; the access drive to Lot 12 is 20 feet wide whereas Lot 13 has a 15 foot wide drive; each lot is provided one guest parking space per code requirements; 3. Lots 14, 15 and 16 will receive access via a 20 foot common driveway between Lots 4 and 5. The three lots have a total of five guest parking spaces as required by code. level c. Each of the newly created vacant lots will be graded to create pad areas on each lot. Because of the steep terrain, a series of .ing walls will be constructed. As each site is developed additional gra ing and walls may be required. The initial grading will consist of a bal nced cut and fill of 20,000 cubic yards. d. The development involves the extension of Las Flores Drive and oth r public improvements (storm drain, etc.). These improvements are to be coo dinated with the development of Hudson Valley Estates, Units 1 and 2, which are located on the westerly slopes of the canyon across from this project. 3. Coordination of development. Since the approval of Hudson Valley Estates Units 1 and 2, the dev Loper of those two subdivisions has been working with the owners of this pro ect and other property owners in the area in an effort to coordinate the gra ing of the canyon and the installation of public improvements (streets, sid walks, etc.). An overall grading plan encompassing the majority of the can on has been prepared and is being reviewed by the City. The proposed gra ing will raise the canyon floor an average of 12'. The sides of the canyon wil provide a large portion of the needed fill. The coordination of the gra ing and installation of improvements will eliminate the necessity of interim mea ures caused by piecemeal grading and development and will allow the pro rties to be developed in a logical and sequential manner. General Plan and zoning. The net density of the subdivision is 4.6 dwelling units per acre, whi h is consistent with the General Plan designated for this area of Medium Den ity Residential, 4-12 dwelling units per acre. The lots range from 7,200 sq. ft. to 16,020 sq. ft. The code requires a minimum lot size of 7,000 sq. ft. The panhandle lots conform to Section 19.24.170 governing panhandle lot dev lopment. The conditions of approval will insure the maintenance of the c n driveways and guest parking areas. ~j ~'~L~i~`~iL (WP ~Eile No. 0013A)
