RE: 12-Lot Subdivision in Landings 4th
Dear Ted:
At the Conceptual Review Meeting yesterday for the above -mentioned pro-
ject, it was brought to my attention that I would need to request a
variance to City Standards in order to achieve a 28' public street on
this project. I would like to formally request a variance for the
following reasons:
1. The main access to this street is an existing 28' wide public
street (Westshore Way).
2. This is a very small cul-de-sac servicing a mere 12 single family
homes.
3. We have greatly reduced the intensity of the previous plan for this
property and increased its parking potential regardless of any
parking along the street:
Old Plan (25 units) New Plan (12 units)
25 one -car garages ...............25 12 two -car garages ............. 24
25 tandem driveway spaces ......... 25 32 tandem driveway spaces ...... 32
26 additional off-street spaces ... 26
Total potential spaces ...........76
or 3.0 spaces/unit

4. The above ignores the potential for parallel parking along one side
of the street which could be accomplished by signs or by actual
striping or a combination of the two.
As well, it was mentioned that we would need to request a variance to
City standards should we want a square cul-de-sac as shown. I feel that
the square cul-de-sac fits best in this case with the shape of the property
especially after centering the road between the two existing cottonwood
trees. It allows us to have nicer shaped lots with better access capabili-
ties at the end of the cul-de-sac.
If we need to set up a meeting to discuss the potential for granting these
two variances, I would appreciate it if you could do so as soon as possible
and would be happy to meet with you at your convenience. Thank you and I
will look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
