• • AGENDA ITEM 5E STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala P & Z MEETING DATE: February 12, 2003 TOPIC: Rezoning from R -X, Rural Executive to R -X, Rural Executive/Planned Development Overlay (PDO) Preliminary Plat Approval, Keefe Estates REQUEST The applicant, James Keefe, is requesting a rezoning of his property to Planned Development Overlay District to allow for a rural cluster subdivision consisting of three buildable lots. Each of the lots would be accessed from a proposed private roadway lying within a proposed outlot. BACKGROUND In June of 2001 Mr. Keefe contacted City staff requesting information regarding the potential subdivision of his property. Mr. Keefe was provided with the requirements of the R -X, Rural Executive District. In September of 2001 Mr. Keefe met with the City Council to discuss the potential options for subdividing his property. He expressed at the time, in a letter dated September 19, 2001, that he would like to split off several 2.5 acre parcels from his property due to the economic hardship he was currently experiencing. The council expressed the need for additional information before a decision could be made. City staff prepared a memo to the City Council, dated September 28, 2001, identifying issues with regard to the proposed subdivision and listing options to be explored, including the potential for a clustered development using the Planned Development Overlay District (PDO) requirements. The memo was distributed to Mr. Keefe. On December 10, 2002 the City received an application from Mr. Keefe requesting minor subdivision approval. In a letter, dated December 18, 2002, Mr. Keefe was informed that his application was substantially incomplete and listed information that was necessary to begin review of the request. Mr. Keefe submitted additional information on January 6, 2003.
