SHAMROCK MANOR GROUP HOME SPECIAL REVIEW - #43-95
Mike Ludwig, Project Planner, gave the Staff Report recommending approval.
CITIZEN INPUT
Harvey Schmidt,_2824 W. Prospect Road, asked that if this property is sold, can it be a
group home without another review and had concerns that something such as a
halfway house could be
brought in. He commented that the applicants have been very helpful with the
neighborhood's concerns and in being part of the area.
Ward Luthi, 718 W. Mountain Avenue, commented that there is if this project is kept to
only eight people, then there is no need for signage.
CITIZEN INPUT CLOSED
Deputy City Attorney Eckman stated that the code specifies that part of the job of the
Board is to establish the kind of group home that is permitted and the maximum number
of people allowed in the group home. If the group home is sold to someone else, it
would have to be used for this purpose with the same number of people allowed.
Otherwise, it would have to come before the Board for review.
Mr. Ludwig stated that signage is allowed by City Code and must be in compliance with
the amount as administered by the zoning department. The applicant has indicated
that they will have a very small sign on the property.
Deputy City Attorney Eckman stated that the group home special review regulations do
not allow for any consideration of the question of type of size of signage. Basically, the
sign will have to comply with the city sign code. He added that increasing the number
of residents that could occupy the group home, this project has already reached the
maximum no matter how many additional square feet could be added.

COVENTRY SUBDIVISION SECOND FILING FINAL - #80-93B
Ted Shepard, Project Planner, gave the Staff Report recommending approval with the
condition that the development agreement, final utility plans and final PUD plans be
executed prior to pulling a building permit.
Tom Kehler, Jim Sell Designs, added that since preliminary, issues have been raised
regarding stormwater utility which are mostly mitigated at this point. Other concerns
were raised with the Natural Resources Department relative to the Mail Creek tributary
and the relocation of the drainage area. These issues have also been mitigated.
CITIZEN INPUT
Ward Luthi, 718 W. Mountain Avenue, had concerns with this project meeting the
requirements of the Comprehensive Plan elements and the goals and objectives. He
asked if the 60 foot separation from the rear of the property line to Harmony Road
meets a criteria.
CITIZEN INPUT CLOSED
Mr. Shepard stated that this project, not being a PUD, is a use -by -right in the RLP zone.
The zone district was placed on this property at the time of annexation based on
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The plan test was done at the time of
annexation and zoning. City Council made a legislative decision that this piece of
property be given the RLP zone district because it met the basic intent of the
Comprehensive Plan. It does not need to meet the specific test of the Land Use
Policies Plan point by point because that was done at the time of zoning. It met the
subdivision regulations and the zoning code. In terms of the 60 separation to Harmony
Road, this is not a standard. The intent is to get the houses back from the arterial
streets.
Member Davidson asked if the setback was also in anticipation of the widening of
Harmony Road in the future.
Mr. Shepard stated that this is not the case. Harmony Road is being dedicated by this
plat and being dictated by the exclusive easement for US West and drainage easement
for the Mail Creek tributary.
