Agenda note: SUBJECT MATTER: In the matter of the aforementioned described application of LH Ventures, LLC (D.R. Horton) for holdover zone change, waivers of development standards, and design reviews (as indicated on the ATTACHED agenda item) (held from February 17, 2021):
REPRESENTATIVE(S): Present
SPEAKER(S): Present
DISCUSSION: There being no objections, Item No. 35 was heard in conjunction with Item Nos. 36 and 37.
Following introduction of the Item Nos. 35, 36, and 37, the Board was addressed by Stephanie Allen, the applicant's representative, who advised that the property was located north of Cactus Drive and Dean Martin Drive; home sizes would range from 1,700 square feet to 1,800 square feet, and prices in the mid $300,000 range; property was currently planned for up to 14 units per acre; proposed to have single-family detached homes with a density of approximately 9.2 units per acre; transitioned lot sizes with the traditional RUD lots in the center of the site; but there were 4,000 square foot lots along Frias Avenue; there would be an internal trail leading to the main park; for those living in the higher density homes, there were corner open space areas for children to play; Waiver No. 1 was withdrawn without prejudice; the remaining waiver, with respect to the entry area along Dean Martin Drive, would reduce the intersection off-set to 95 feet from 125 feet; homes were facing out along Rush Avenue, Polaris Avenue, and Frias Avenue; and participated in a virtual neighborhood meeting.
Marta Poling Schmitt and Jenny Ting requested a two-week hold in approving the project; voiced concerns which included, but was not limited to, 24 homes whose driveways emptied out onto Frias Avenue; suggested a redesign of the lots on Frias Avenue, building the lots as internal rather than external, building one-story homes, creating a walking trail, increased traffic along Frias Avenue, and a lack of streetlights in the area.
Commissioner Jones advised of not delaying the items another two weeks.
The representative addressed the neighbors' concerns and advised that the homes to be built along Frias Avenue could not be faced inwards due to a row of homes which backed up to the projected homes, one-story homes would not fit the width of the lots; a trail was in existence and would be connected throughout Frias Avenue, and the impact of traffic would be less due to only 9.2 units per acre being built, instead of 14 units per acre as was allowed under the master plan.
Commissioner Jones advised that the walking trail would be made of asphalt and would be lighted, was not a gated community, and the parks and trails would be accessible to everyone.
Staff advised that Frias Avenue was a 60-foot wide road, streetlights would be added, and public parking was allowed. | Pass |
