grojeat.

The original plat for this project was approved by the City Councit on April 19, 2000. Since then, the
applicant has purchased an adjacent pazcel, and now proposes to add that parcei to the plat before filing it
with the County.
G. DISTRICT COUNCIL RECOMII�NDATION: None received.
H. REQUIRED FINDINGS:
�
l. Ali the appiicable provisfons of the Legislative Code are being complied with. A
petition has been submitted for vacation of portions of Fifth St., Etna St., and the alley
south of Fifth St. necessary for this plat. The applicant is mquesring a variance of
minimum lot width and area requiremenis as part of this plat approval, to altow lots that
32 feet wide and 3360 sq. ft. in azea. §66.101 of the Zoning Code requires a minimum
width of 40 feet and a minimum azea of 5000 sq. ft. for lou in the R-4 portion of the site;
it requires a minimum width of 50 feet and a minnnum azea of 600d sq. ft. for lou in the
R-3 portion of the site. Subject to City Cotmcil approval of the vacation of the necessary
portions of Fifth St., Etna St., and the alley south of Eina St., and subject to the City
Council granting a variance of minimum lot azea and width requirements as part of
approvat of this ptat, the proposed plat is in compliance with all applicable provisions of
the Legislative Code. �
2. The proposed subdivision will not be detrimental to the present and potential
surrounding land ases. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the surrounding
single-family homes, and will not be detrimental to present and future use of adjacent
vacant land for stormwater management ponding and as a linear greenway/open space
amenity.
3. The area surrounding the subdivision can be pIanned and developed in
coordination and compatibility with the proposed subdivision. The area swrounding
the proposed plat is akeady developed with single-family homes, and remaining
sunounding vacant land wili be maintained as a starmwater management ponding azea
and as a lineaz greenway/open space amenity.
4. The subdivision is in conformanee with the Comprehensive Plan. This condition is
met. T'he City's land use plan idenrifies this as a housing development site. This
development supports the goais of "building new housing to meet growing demand for
mazket rate townhouses." This design of this project serves the urban village principles
cited in the 3and use plan for "compact and pedestrian-friendly developmenY' and
"architecture and Iandscaping physically defining the streets an@ public spaces" through
the design features aoted under #5 below. This project supports transportation plan
objectives by adding 32 housing units close to a bus route.
The proposed subdivision is in conformance with the Housing Plan, which calls for
increasing housing supply and ensuring availabiliry of a full range of housing choices Yo �
meet the needs of a full range of household types and income levels, This project wiil
add a new needed housing type to this area, with three- and four-bedroom units ranging
00 -t'�sr
� Zoning File 00-133-057
7uly 12, 2000
Page 3
in size from 1340 sq. ft. to I500 sq. ft. arranged in a zero-lot- line fashion to oprimize
use of space on smalier lots. There is an eight foot spacing between each structure. Lots
will be in individual ownership. Maintenance of lots, structure exteriors, common azeas,
streets, aileys and sidewalks will be done through the townhouse association.
5. The subdivision preserves and incorporates the site's important natnrai features,
whenever possible. The appiicant has worked with the neighborhood and City offices to
design this site featiuing traditional neighborhood design elements, including smaller
lots, garages to the rear, narrow private street, sidewaiks, front porches, common spaces
and landscaping. The narrow private street, smaller front yards setbacks, and zero lot
line anangement serve to oprimize development on this difficult site. The proposal
maintains the natural features and vegetation of the common area on the south side of the
development, and stabilizes the slopes along the northem edge of the properry.
6. Ail land intended for building sites can be used safely without endangering
residents by peril from flood, erosion, continuously high water table, severe soil
conditions or other menace. The site and grading are being designed to meet this
requarement.
7. The subdivision can be economically served with public facilities and services. The
subdivision can be served with public facilities and services from Fifth Street especially
economically because of the narrower lot widths.
I. VARIANCE FINDINGS: Section 67.703 states that the City Council may grant a variance to
the subdivision regulations when compiiance would create an unusual hardship to the
development of the land, based on findings required findings:
The intent of this chapter is met. The variances would further the intent of this chapter
to promote affordable housing to persons and families of all income levels, and to
provide more economical public services and facilities.
2. The granring of the variance will not be detrimental to the pnbiic safety, heaith or
welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neigLhorhood in
which the pruperty is located. This finding is met. See findings H.1 and H.6 above.
3. The conditions upon which the request for a variance is based are unique to the
property for which the variance is sought and are generally not applicable to other
property. This finding is met. Despite its long-standing identification as a potenrial
housing site, the site constraints have to date preciuded economic developmen� The
topographic issues combined with ihe desire to have development fit with the urban
neighborhood character have led to a creative design incorporating pedestrian friendly
� streets and small-lot, traditional home design.

4. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this cfiapter wouid deprive fhe
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoaing
disfrict. This finding is met. See finding I.3 above.
5. The special coaditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant. This finding is met See finding I3 above.
6. Because of the particnlar natural surroundings, shape or topographical coaditions
of the spec�c property invoived, unuSual hardship to the owner would resnit, as
distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict letter of these regularions
were carried oat The request for variance is related to the parficnlaz surroundings and
topographicai conditions of the property. See finding I3 above.

G. DISTRICT COUNCIL RECOMII�NDATION: None received.
H. REQUIRED FINDINGS:
�
l. Ali the appiicable provisfons of the Legislative Code are being complied with. A
petition has been submitted for vacation of portions of Fifth St., Etna St., and the alley
south of Fifth St. necessary for this plat. The applicant is mquesring a variance of
minimum lot width and area requiremenis as part of this plat approval, to altow lots that
32 feet wide and 3360 sq. ft. in azea. §66.101 of the Zoning Code requires a minimum
width of 40 feet and a minimum azea of 5000 sq. ft. for lou in the R-4 portion of the site;
it requires a minimum width of 50 feet and a minnnum azea of 600d sq. ft. for lou in the
R-3 portion of the site. Subject to City Cotmcil approval of the vacation of the necessary
portions of Fifth St., Etna St., and the alley south of Eina St., and subject to the City
Council granting a variance of minimum lot azea and width requirements as part of
approvat of this ptat, the proposed plat is in compliance with all applicable provisions of
the Legislative Code. �
2. The proposed subdivision will not be detrimental to the present and potential
surrounding land ases. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the surrounding
single-family homes, and will not be detrimental to present and future use of adjacent
vacant land for stormwater management ponding and as a linear greenway/open space
amenity.
3. The area surrounding the subdivision can be pIanned and developed in
coordination and compatibility with the proposed subdivision. The area swrounding
the proposed plat is akeady developed with single-family homes, and remaining
sunounding vacant land wili be maintained as a starmwater management ponding azea
and as a lineaz greenway/open space amenity.
4. The subdivision is in conformanee with the Comprehensive Plan. This condition is
met. T'he City's land use plan idenrifies this as a housing development site. This
development supports the goais of "building new housing to meet growing demand for
mazket rate townhouses." This design of this project serves the urban village principles
cited in the 3and use plan for "compact and pedestrian-friendly developmenY' and
"architecture and Iandscaping physically defining the streets an@ public spaces" through
the design features aoted under #5 below. This project supports transportation plan
objectives by adding 32 housing units close to a bus route.
The proposed subdivision is in conformance with the Housing Plan, which calls for
increasing housing supply and ensuring availabiliry of a full range of housing choices Yo �
meet the needs of a full range of household types and income levels, This project wiil
add a new needed housing type to this area, with three- and four-bedroom units ranging

in size from 1340 sq. ft. to I500 sq. ft. arranged in a zero-lot- line fashion to oprimize
use of space on smalier lots. There is an eight foot spacing between each structure. Lots
will be in individual ownership. Maintenance of lots, structure exteriors, common azeas,
streets, aileys and sidewalks will be done through the townhouse association.
5. The subdivision preserves and incorporates the site's important natnrai features,
whenever possible. The appiicant has worked with the neighborhood and City offices to
design this site featiuing traditional neighborhood design elements, including smaller
lots, garages to the rear, narrow private street, sidewaiks, front porches, common spaces
and landscaping. The narrow private street, smaller front yards setbacks, and zero lot
line anangement serve to oprimize development on this difficult site. The proposal
maintains the natural features and vegetation of the common area on the south side of the
development, and stabilizes the slopes along the northem edge of the properry.
6. Ail land intended for building sites can be used safely without endangering
residents by peril from flood, erosion, continuously high water table, severe soil
conditions or other menace. The site and grading are being designed to meet this
requarement.
7. The subdivision can be economically served with public facilities and services. The
subdivision can be served with public facilities and services from Fifth Street especially
economically because of the narrower lot widths.
I. VARIANCE FINDINGS: Section 67.703 states that the City Council may grant a variance to
the subdivision regulations when compiiance would create an unusual hardship to the
development of the land, based on findings required findings:
The intent of this chapter is met. The variances would further the intent of this chapter
to promote affordable housing to persons and families of all income levels, and to
provide more economical public services and facilities.
2. The granring of the variance will not be detrimental to the pnbiic safety, heaith or
welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neigLhorhood in
which the pruperty is located. This finding is met. See findings H.1 and H.6 above.
3. The conditions upon which the request for a variance is based are unique to the
property for which the variance is sought and are generally not applicable to other
property. This finding is met. Despite its long-standing identification as a potenrial
housing site, the site constraints have to date preciuded economic developmen� The
topographic issues combined with ihe desire to have development fit with the urban
neighborhood character have led to a creative design incorporating pedestrian friendly
� streets and small-lot, traditional home design.

4. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this cfiapter wouid deprive fhe
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoaing
disfrict. This finding is met. See finding I.3 above.
5. The special coaditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant. This finding is met See finding I3 above.
6. Because of the particnlar natural surroundings, shape or topographical coaditions
of the spec�c property invoived, unuSual hardship to the owner would resnit, as
distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict letter of these regularions
were carried oat The request for variance is related to the parficnlaz surroundings and

with the County.
G. DISTRICT COUNCIL RECOMII�NDATION: None received.
H. REQUIRED FINDINGS:
�
l. Ali the appiicable provisfons of the Legislative Code are being complied with. A
petition has been submitted for vacation of portions of Fifth St., Etna St., and the alley
south of Fifth St. necessary for this plat. The applicant is mquesring a variance of
minimum lot width and area requiremenis as part of this plat approval, to altow lots that
32 feet wide and 3360 sq. ft. in azea. §66.101 of the Zoning Code requires a minimum
width of 40 feet and a minimum azea of 5000 sq. ft. for lou in the R-4 portion of the site;
it requires a minimum width of 50 feet and a minnnum azea of 600d sq. ft. for lou in the
R-3 portion of the site. Subject to City Cotmcil approval of the vacation of the necessary
portions of Fifth St., Etna St., and the alley south of Eina St., and subject to the City
Council granting a variance of minimum lot azea and width requirements as part of
approvat of this ptat, the proposed plat is in compliance with all applicable provisions of
the Legislative Code. �
2. The proposed subdivision will not be detrimental to the present and potential
surrounding land ases. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the surrounding
single-family homes, and will not be detrimental to present and future use of adjacent
vacant land for stormwater management ponding and as a linear greenway/open space
amenity.
3. The area surrounding the subdivision can be pIanned and developed in
coordination and compatibility with the proposed subdivision. The area swrounding
the proposed plat is akeady developed with single-family homes, and remaining
sunounding vacant land wili be maintained as a starmwater management ponding azea
and as a lineaz greenway/open space amenity.
4. The subdivision is in conformanee with the Comprehensive Plan. This condition is
met. T'he City's land use plan idenrifies this as a housing development site. This
development supports the goais of "building new housing to meet growing demand for
mazket rate townhouses." This design of this project serves the urban village principles
cited in the 3and use plan for "compact and pedestrian-friendly developmenY' and
"architecture and Iandscaping physically defining the streets an@ public spaces" through
the design features aoted under #5 below. This project supports transportation plan
objectives by adding 32 housing units close to a bus route.
The proposed subdivision is in conformance with the Housing Plan, which calls for
increasing housing supply and ensuring availabiliry of a full range of housing choices Yo �
meet the needs of a full range of household types and income levels, This project wiil
add a new needed housing type to this area, with three- and four-bedroom units ranging
00 -t'�sr
� Zoning File 00-133-057
7uly 12, 2000
Page 3
in size from 1340 sq. ft. to I500 sq. ft. arranged in a zero-lot- line fashion to oprimize
use of space on smalier lots. There is an eight foot spacing between each structure. Lots
will be in individual ownership. Maintenance of lots, structure exteriors, common azeas,
streets, aileys and sidewalks will be done through the townhouse association.
5. The subdivision preserves and incorporates the site's important natnrai features,
whenever possible. The appiicant has worked with the neighborhood and City offices to
design this site featiuing traditional neighborhood design elements, including smaller
lots, garages to the rear, narrow private street, sidewaiks, front porches, common spaces
and landscaping. The narrow private street, smaller front yards setbacks, and zero lot
line anangement serve to oprimize development on this difficult site. The proposal
maintains the natural features and vegetation of the common area on the south side of the
development, and stabilizes the slopes along the northem edge of the properry.
6. Ail land intended for building sites can be used safely without endangering
residents by peril from flood, erosion, continuously high water table, severe soil
conditions or other menace. The site and grading are being designed to meet this
requarement.
7. The subdivision can be economically served with public facilities and services. The
subdivision can be served with public facilities and services from Fifth Street especially
economically because of the narrower lot widths.
I. VARIANCE FINDINGS: Section 67.703 states that the City Council may grant a variance to
the subdivision regulations when compiiance would create an unusual hardship to the
development of the land, based on findings required findings:
The intent of this chapter is met. The variances would further the intent of this chapter
to promote affordable housing to persons and families of all income levels, and to
provide more economical public services and facilities.
2. The granring of the variance will not be detrimental to the pnbiic safety, heaith or
welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neigLhorhood in
which the pruperty is located. This finding is met. See findings H.1 and H.6 above.
3. The conditions upon which the request for a variance is based are unique to the
property for which the variance is sought and are generally not applicable to other
property. This finding is met. Despite its long-standing identification as a potenrial
housing site, the site constraints have to date preciuded economic developmen� The
topographic issues combined with ihe desire to have development fit with the urban
neighborhood character have led to a creative design incorporating pedestrian friendly
� streets and small-lot, traditional home design.

4. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this cfiapter wouid deprive fhe
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoaing
disfrict. This finding is met. See finding I.3 above.
5. The special coaditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant. This finding is met See finding I3 above.
6. Because of the particnlar natural surroundings, shape or topographical coaditions
of the spec�c property invoived, unuSual hardship to the owner would resnit, as
distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict letter of these regularions
