• • • PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD AUGUST 17, 1988 CONSIDERATION OF INITIATION OF ADDITIONAL REZONING TO R--1X SINGLE FAMILY EXECUTIVE HOUSING OF PROPERTY NEAR SOUTH RESHANAU LAKES ESTATES: At the Planning and Zoning Board's July 13 meeting the members took action to recommend to the City Council the 80 acre Paul Montain property be rezoned to; the R -1X Executive housing district. This parcel is located immediately west of the high amenity -- high value South Reshanau Lake Estates subdivision. At the July meeting we were asked to review other property adjacent and near to these parcels for possible R - -1X Single Family Executive housing zoning. The City Planner recommended rezoning to the R -1X district. 1. All of the land east of Ware Road and south of Birch Street to the limit of the MUSA boundary with the exceptions of Shenandoah, Shenandoah 2nd Addition, and Reshanau Lake Estates South. This would total approximately 280 acres of land. 2. All of the land west of 7th Avenue south and north of Birch Street extending 1320 feet (1/4 mile) north of Birch and 1980 feet (3/8 mile) west of 7th Avenue. Total area is about 60 acres. Reasons for including the land in the suggested rezone area include: PAGE 11 1 Higher value home development has occurred and is continuing in the area with Regency Homes on the east and with concept plan approval of Rick Carlson's R -1X project on the west. Older projects such as Rohavic Oaks and Colonial Woods include higher value homes. 2 High amenity land with wetlands and rolling topography are found throughout the area. For example the quarter- quarter section of land immediately southwest of Montain's property contains a large wetland covering 15 to 20 acres. The Soukup property is also rolling. Before placing this land on the market, the present owner considered developing it himself focusing development around ponding areas.
