• • Highland Meadows East 2nd Addition page 4 The 1999 report on the approval of the Highland Meadows East preliminary plat included the following statement: For future consideration, there will be 108t feet remaining between the rear lot line of Lot 1 and the Outlot A boundary directly to the south. This does not allow for the minimum lot widths or depths of the existing two- or multi family residential zoning districts. How Outlot A will be developed in the future has yet to be seen, but approval of the present plat application should not be considered implied approval of any future plan in Outlot A. The proposal includes a narrowed access road as well as reduced setbacks around the periphery of the site. The 26' private drive is narrower than a public street, which would be a minimum 28' (measured back of curb to back of curb.). The setbacks from this private drive are 22' for several units, less than the normally required 25'. The PUD requirements state that "front and side yard restrictions at the periphery of the Planned Unit Development site at a minimum shall be the same as imposed in the respective base districts. The PUD standards do not specify a rear setback minimum. Typically, a 30' rear setback is required in an R -3 zone. The goal is to maintain adequate buffering around the site while allowing flexibility inside the site. Changes to the plan include the removal of two structures from the north central area. This created extra space to move other units in order to keep a 30' setback from the site boundary lines. Unit 2 is 21' from the north property line, but this is on the side of the unt. There is ample space behind the unit to the east. The patios would be 20± feet from the property lines, other than unit 2. Landscaping has been added. As noted below, a 20' landscape buffer is required on sides abutting single family zones. The City Engineer's previous review noted that a swale or storm sewer is needed along the south property line, which has been added.
