Page 3 5. ANALYSIS: C. Level of Discretion in Decision Making The City's discretion in approving or denying a preliminary plat is limited to whether or not the proposed plat meets the standards outlined in the subdivision regulations in the City Code. If it meets these standards, the City must approve the preliminary plat. The City has relatively high level of discretion in approving PUD amendments. A PUD amendment must be consistent with the City's comprehensive plan. The City may impose reasonable requirements in a PUD amendment not otherwise required if the City deems it necessary to promote the general health, safety, and welfare of the community. D. Consistency with the PUD and Ordinance Standards Preliminary Plat and PUD There are minor revisions to the plan that include 3 additional units and a slight shift of Fable Hill Road North, adjusting it to the south. The development is required to meet all of the conditions from the previously approved preliminary plat and PUD. The proposed plans meet the intent of the previously approved preliminary plat and PUD. The 63 homes proposed by the developer will result in a net density of 2.49 units per acre. This is less than what would be allowed in a straight zoning single family development (3-4 units per acre) and what would be allowed with a PUD (Up to 4 units per acre). The density is consistent with City requirements. Grading and Stormwater Management The grading for the site was partially completed with the previous phases of development. There will be an expansion of an existing pond on site. The pond has an outlet to the east that drains into Clearwater Creek Preserve Park that has caused some flooding. The City is working with the development team to correct this problem. Park Dedication The remaining lots will be required to pay the full park dedication fee of $88,800 (37 lots x 2,400). 6. CONCLUSION: The site is currently within the Fable Hills PUD and the plan layout maintains a development pattern that complies with the approvals for the Fable Hill PUD.
