APPLICANT JOHN MATTHEWS of 6093 S. Quebec St., Ste. 100, Centennial, CO 80111.
Mr. Matthews developed the Estates at Bel Mar Park filing # 1. Mr. Matthews
then explained his proposal and made himself and staff available for questions
from the Commission.
SENIOR PLANNER SUE PIERCY gave the staff report. Requirements were met. Therefore staff recommends the approval of both cases.
JOAN YOUNG of 8145 W. Mississippi Ave., Lakewood 80226 wanted Planning Commission to be aware of her concerns regarding access to her property including the single family dwelling on their property currently being rented by an elderly woman. Water tap issues were also a concern.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
COMMISSIONER CHOI asked about the Preliminary Map that shows access to the Young's driveway. COMMISSIONER CHOI further inquired about the existing tract of land that had been previously dedicated to the City. Did that contain the existing driveway? How wide will the new South Ammons Street be? Staff responded that the tract was in fact dedicated to the City with the Belmar Estates Filing #1 and that this tract, plus the newly dedicated right of way contained part of the existing drive and will meet the low-density residential street standards when constructed. The Young's will take access of the newly constructed street.
COMMISSIONER HOLLEN asked how the applicant envisioned the turn-around access for the Young property. The applicant responded that there is enough room to turn around at the end of South Ammons street without having to go onto the Young's property. There will be a sign posted that indicates that it is not a through street.
COMMISSIONER QUINN wanted to know about applicants' anticipation of entering into a written agreement with the Young's to help ensure that they would have continual access during construction. COMMISSIONER QUINN also asked if the applicant planned on using drought tolerant materials on this project.
THE APPLICANT answered that he has been working with Mr. and Mrs. Young to ensure that they will have continual access to their property. He indicated that he would be happy to enter into an agreement with them to satisfy the access as well as water issues. They have been working with the Young's for three years as their neighbors during Phase I and again with this project. The applicant further indicated that his approved Preliminary Landscaping Plan illustrates drought tolerant landscaping and he has every intention of utilizing water smart materials in this project. He will continue to work with staff on this issue.
COMMISSIONER QUINN asked about drainage issues because of the flat topography. Ken Hargrave, City Civil Engineer II, answered that the two percent minimum grade requirement can be met. Storm drainage will flow to the detention pond and off of the site.
COMMISSIONER HOLLEN asked about how this project interconnects with the surrounding area and fits into the new Comprehensive Plan. Staff indicated that this project coordinates well with the overall transportation plan for the area to provide for future interconnectivity between existing and redeveloped sites.
SUE PIERCY commented that the Commission could place a condition on the approval of the final plat case stating that the applicant enter into a written agreement with Mr. and Mrs. Young to ensure access to her property during construction. The plat may not be recorded until the agreement is on file with the City.
COMMISSIONER QUINN moved to have two separate motions, one for each case:
Regarding the preliminary map case, PA 03-001, motion was to approve subject
to conditions in staff report.
Motion was second by COMMISSIONER LLOYD.
Approved 6 - 0
COMMISSIONER QUINN moved to approve FA 03-001 subject to the conditions in staff report and the testimony in the public hearing and subject to the condition that the applicant enter into a written agreement with Mr. and Mrs. Young to ensure continual access to their property during construction prior to plat recordation.
COMMISSIONER HOLLEN seconded the motion.
Approved 6-0
