MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 10, 2014. Duray recommend approval of the Property Division for relocation of a lot line ten feet and a Variance from lot width requirements for 3000 and 3020 Centerville Road, Joe Peters, subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner as outlined in his July 3, 2014 report which also notes the unique circumstances to this property. Motion seconded by Schwalbach. Motion seconded by 6 — 0. PUD PERMIT — The City Planner noted that in June the Commission conducted a concept 56 EAST review for a PUD Permit for a three -unit residential development to be LITTLE located at 56 Little Canada Road East proposed by Thomas Homes. The CANADA review was concept in nature given that there were a number of issued ROAD — related to the application and the lack of ability to document setbacks and THOMAS lot coverages. The Planner indicated that in meeting with the applicant HOMES subsequent to the June Commission meeting, the applicant was exploring some alternative ideas. The applicant then turned in a diagram showing a duplex proposal with included two detached garages. In discussing this drawing with the applicant, the Planner indicated that he learned that in addition to the duplex units, the developer was proposing a carriage home unit over each of the two garages. The Planner reported that he informed the developer that this was not allowed in the City Code, but he could ask the City to consider it. The Planner reported that at the end of last week, the developer submitted additional information relative to duplex development as well as a survey of the property which shows the placement of a single-family home on the lot. The Planner indicated that from the survey it appears that the amount of land on this site is not as much as the applicant suggested. As a result, it would be difficult to site a tri-plex or a duplex on the property and still meet setbacks. With regard to the survey which shows a single-family home, the Planner indicated that he informed the applicant that if he wishes to remove the existing single-family home and replace it with a new single-family home, a PUD Permit is not necessary. The only requirement is that the project meet setback requirements. The Planner indicated that if a duplex is being requested, the situation is the same in that the City does not have enough information to act on that request. The Planner then explained the State Statute wherein the City has 60 days to act on development applications which the City can unilaterally -4-
