CASE 120-03 <br />Page 2 <br />2,500 square feet of property her unit would be required based <br />upon our cxisti.ng Zoning Code. Once again, the Comhrehmisive <br />Plan recommends a larger lot area per unit. <br />This discrepancy seems to have occurred as a result of a differing <br />planning philosophy. The philosophy Of the Comprehensive Plan <br />foresees large lots with extremely low density as being desirable. <br />The Zoning Codn's philosophy sees medium ::izc lots with a medium <br />density as desirable anr, required. <br />Summarizing the above, a fourplex proposed on each of these lots would <br />meet minimum Zoning Code requirements for medium density residential <br />zones (R-3) but would not meet Comprehensive flan rccommeudations. <br />(Recommended 3 to 6 units per acre; 11.0 units per acre proposed.) <br />Major Subdivision: <br />1) By definition, any change in property lines which necessitates <br />City approval before new deeds can be filed constitutes a subdi- <br />vision. Since this development proposes to change lot line <br />locations and, since the area is over 2 acres in size, approval of <br />a major subdivision is required. <br />2) All proposed lots meet minimum n(Juare footage and frontage requ' <br />ments for fourplex dwellings. All lots also meet the requireme <br />for square footage based upon recommends changes to the Zoning Code <br />(14,000 square feet for R-1 corner., R-2 and R-3 is being recommended) <br />Utility Services and Trash Collection: <br />1) The property is served by sanitary sewer and water on both Edgewood <br />Drive and Greenfield Avenue. <br />2) These mains are adequate in size to accommodate the fourplex <br />buildings being proposed. <br />3) An area for trash collection is being provided for each fourplex <br />building. <br />4) A sanitary sewer force main is located in the boulevard area of <br />Edgewood Drive adjacent to this proposed development (see Exhibit <br />3 for location of force main). This force main is located approxi- <br />mately 10 feet west of the front property line of the lots which <br />front on Edgewood Drive and is used to bring sewerage from the lift <br />station located at County Road 1 and Edgewood Drive to an existing <br />gravity sanitary sewer main located at Bronson Drive and Greenfield <br />Avenue. The City may someday phase out the use of this lift station <br />and install a gravity main from the lift station area to the existing <br />Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC) main located center <br />within the 30 foot easement which traverses the property under <br />consideration. This MWCC main is located approximately 40 feet <br />deep and .it is suggested that a utility easement of 15 feet be pro- <br />vided along the front property lines of the lots <br />
