Planning & Zoning Board October 13, 2010 Page 5 APPROVED MINUTES an area of single family detached townhomes, which were considered marketable at the time of initial development. Since then, the marke t has changed, and the city has received a request from the builder and developer t o re-plat in order to convert four of the detached townhome lots to more typical single famil y detached lots. Staff explained that this would require a revised plat application, and that city staff is supportive of the request. Staff explained that as single family lots, these w ould be smaller than a standard lot size. However, the project is a Planned Unit Development that allows for a mix of life-cycle housing types and the proposed lot sizes would be a llowed. The number of dwelling units would not change, and the homes themselves wo uld be the same as the ones already planned for the lots. Staff added that the city will require that the Hom eowner’s Association is in agreement with the proposed change prior to an application su bmittal. Staff was seeking comments from the board regarding this request. Board member discussed the issue. Staff clarified that no specific architectural standards were required for these particular units. The City could require that architectural standards for the single family homes are consisten t with what currently exists in the development. Staff assured the board that this would not set a p recedent to allow for small lots on individual properties, as the purpose of a PUD is t o allow for such changes. The consensus of the board was that members were in favor of the change as proposed, and did not see a problem with an application for r equest of such change. VII.
