• MEMORANDUM April 5, 2004 to: City Council from: Jeff Smyser subject: Century Farm North 2nd Addn. Phasing Plan, Growth Management Policy I received the attached e -mail letter on Monday, April 5th. It refers to two issues. My staff report for the April 12th City Council agenda addresses the building materials issue. The other issue in the letter is the phasing plan for the project. Mr. Uhde is requesting to increase the number of units in the approved phasing plan for year 2004 by retaining a house that the City assumed would be removed when the phasing plan was approved. The phasing plan for Century Farm North, approved with resolution 03 -60, requires that no more than 65 units be final platted in phase two (year 2004). Here is the phasing plan table: year 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 total MUSA acres to be Allocated 15.3 11.4 13.5 5.4 9.4 55.0 Lots to be final platted 56 65 52 43 33 249 There is an existing single family home on the site. During preliminary plat review, staff assumed this house would be removed to make way for the new development. Since then, Mr. Uhde has informed us he wants to keep the house. While this does not actually create a new house, it does add to the number of units in the development compared to what was approved. (Retaining what was assumed would be deleted is a net addition to the plan.) Staff directed the developer to remove one detached townhome from the final plat of the 2nd Addition to make up for the "added" house. This was done for the P & Z review of the final plat. Mr. Uhde wants to keep the house and put the detached townhome back on the plat. This would raise the number of housing units in the development to 249, one over what was reviewed and approved. As shown in the attached inventory, we now are at 19.7% beyond the annual 147 goal for year • 2004. One more unit would raise it to 20.4 %, exceeding the 20% flexibility factor in the growth management ordinance.
