Dear Mike,
On behalf of the owner of the Second Replat of Part of Ponderosa Park P.U.D., this is a
request for a variance to the Solar Orientation requirement of 65% of the residences face North or
South. This plan has 36% of the residences meeting the ordinance.
The P.U.D. is a change to the original site plan that was approved June 15, 1979. Two thirds
of the P.U.D. has been constructed and therefore the last fourteen lots have the same orientation
as the original P.U.D. The access and the shape of the site preclude East-West private drives.
Orchard Place is being vacated which also precludes solar orientation.
To meet the requirement, nine lots would have to face North or South. An undue hardship
would be caused, because the existing conditions would require that a radical change to the site
plan would be needed and it would mean eliminating three or four units.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please call.
Sincerely,
J•�` ev -
