They also want to be good neighbors and don’t want to have people parking on the street Natalie reminded them about the possible cost of a bigger development down the road in time Bret asks if they do the up/down duplex if there will be bedrooms in the basement of the West duplex. Tyler Jones says that downstairs will be two bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs. They’ll bring in a house plan sometime Natalie will turn in the master plan to Craig Natalie says that if the lot line is actually going through the building then that will cause problems on the revision If the building is on the property line then Ray said that they will shift the driveway down to meet setbacks if they need to. Natalie says that Craig is going to want to see how the parcel will end up (Masterplan) Everyone reviewed the building compliance on the plans Revisions should have setbacks with buildings and property lines, parking stall dimensions and labels Put a landscaping label between property line and parking lot Parking lot has to be buffered from the other lots. Natalie says a 6ft high fence is fine for buffering and/or landscaping Callout snow storage area (square footage) on plans Show Parking lot drainage elevations Position the house correctly with dimensions Get the exact location of the house in the parcel Label big trees on the property in landscaping Bret says the concept as of right now is fine And get labels on the site plan Nothing stands out to Bret that would be a showstopper If they ever add anything more the project will take up a larger area and bring with it the need for fire hydrants, sewer main lines, and the 300ft turnaround. That’s only if they choose to do further development. The other houses will need an easement to use the driveway for access. This needs to be labeled on plans. Also include legal descriptions of deeds and easements for each of the parcels. Ray has a few questions: He says what they were originally hoping is that they could do a lot line adjustment. Would it be easier to have a 20,000 sq ft lot with two duplexes on it? Code wasn’t clear. If you have more than one duplex on the lot then that lot has to be moved to a higher density. Real density is the same, but it would be out of compliance with zoning. We can’t do a lot line adjustment, are we doing a short plat? What are we applying for? Ray wants to do a lot line adjustment and a lot split so he doesn’t have to do a short plat. Natalie relays that Craig said that it normally requires a short plat, but he’s ok with them surveying like they’re saying and turning in 3 deeds for the three lots that show where they are and their descriptions Can they fall under the 60ft drive off exemption in the code for gravel parking lots? It isn’t spelled out clearly in the code. Bret says that they don’t qualify for that exemption. The 60ft exemption counts for uses that have tenants that just come to like drop things off and then head off, like a storage unit. Typically in light industrial, not residential. Parking and driveways should be non-permeable surface before full occupancy is granted. A temporary occupancy can be granted in extenuating circumstances. Tyler Jones has a question: Even on a temporary basis they’re doing a lot of concrete, can they get a temporary use for gravel, especially for winter? Bret: ultimately the temporary situations are administered if there is no way to pave or something is preventing the paving from happening. We try to avoid those because temporary can extend into longer lengths of time. This is typically not an option. We run it by Val and Craig, at that point we could ask the question. We should move forward with the info we have now and address questions like this later on. Natalie asks them to label whether it will be asphalt or concrete on the preliminary plans Natalie reminds them that they need to have 40% hard surface and 60% has to be landscaping of the front yard. Not much to worry about because they have good green space on the road frontage. Will they have to add sidewalk? Yes. As soon as the second building is started they have to have sidewalk. Ray says they’ll have to get it surveyed on the front to see how much green space they have. There needs to be sidewalks from the second duplex to the public right of way. Noted on plan revisions. Does he go right up to property line or leave a buffer for the neighbor with the sidewalk? Match existing sidewalk Joel wants to know what size sewer line they’re putting in. Joel says that if they put 8” in they won’t have to tear out the driveway in the future when they go bigger. They’ll just keep it 4”.
