Supp. No. 19 1 1996 From: Peter Eames To: BBLANCHARD, SOLT Date: 5/15/96 1:43pm Subject: The Pond at Hearthfire I'm sorry I won't be able to attend your neighborhood meeting tonight for The Pond at Hearthfire, but hopefully the following will be helpful. As a use -by -right single family subdivision in the RLP zone the process is fairly straightforward. We review the plat prior to final to ensure that all of the lots conform to the minimum requirements of the zone. In this case, each lot must be at least 6000 sq. ft., have 20' frontage on a public street, and be at least 60' wide at the portion of the lot where the building will sit. If the proposed plat meets these requirements, then that part of the zoning code is met. Once the plat is approved and recorded, the contractor may begin submitting building permit applications. The first review of the application that is done by the City is a zoning site plan review. Staff examines the site plan submitted and the construction drawings to make sure that the required setbacks from property lines are met. In this zone, the setbacks are 20' from the front property line, 15' from rear property line, 5' from interior side lot lines, and 15' from the street side lot line on a comer lot. (It might not hurt to mention that these are the setbacks commonly used in PUD's also, except that many PUD's only require a 10' rear setback). Staff also ensures that the building is not too large for the lot. In the RLP zone, the lot has to be at least 3 times as large as the house. For instance, a 3000 sq. ft. home needs a lot of at least 9000 sq. ft. Once zoning has verified compliance with these regulations, a zoning release is given for the permit. This does not mean that a permit can be issued yet. Many other depts. must also determine that their own requirements are met before they can sign off on it. For example, Engineering must verify that certain public improvements are in, such as curb and gutter, street, etc.. Only after all of the departments involved have signed off can a permit be issued. (This is really no different than what happens with a PUD. The City has the same concerns regardless of what type of approval process the development was subject to).
