BUII.DING DEPARTMENT REQUESTS: No items. IV. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS: 1) Delorenzo Rezoning Request. The proposal is to rezone perlnauent parcel nos. 236-23-017, 236-24-019 and 236-24-020 from existing "A" Residence Single District to Single Family Cluster District. T,ocation is south off Butternut Ridge Road adjacent to Springvale Golf Club. Mr. Rock, engineer, pointed out the highlighted area on the plans that they are requesting to rezone to single family cluster. He explained that the development area is just under 10 acres and the proposed rezoning would have 39 lots that would be developed for cluster homes; none of these units will be attached. There would be only four units per acre which is in line with the density requirements for class "A"; the smallest lot is a sixth of an acre with about a quarter of the lots being significantly larger and three of the lots around the cu1 de-sac being substantially larger. The side setbacks would be in line with the class "A" requirements, with the main deviation bemg that the Single Family, Cluster would allow a shorter street setback, allow a more flexi'ble design for the homes and make better use of the space. Under the cluster zoning, they could provide some common use area, wlrich could not be done under the class "A" requ.irements. Tlie house design is still in the preliminary stages, but will probably between 1,500 and 2,000 square feet slab area with the options for basements, lofts, or second stories. After the property is rezoned, final plans would be prepared showing the elevations of the homes, and their positions on the lot. He had a rough sketch of one of the houses. The roadways within the development will be constructed under the city's requirements for dedicated streets, as opposed to the less stringent requirement for cluster district. All utilities will be underground. The projected cost for each unit is between $200,000 and $250,000 and the homes willblend and be in a similar style. If the rezoning is approved the covenants for the deed and the by-laws for the home owners' association would be submitted to the commission and the Law Director. In addition to the strict requirements of the covenants of the deeds and by-laws, they intend to provide a separate summary sheet that outlines the basic requ.irements that are included in the covenants to each purchaser in an affidavit form that would make them aware of all the requirements of a private development. All maintenance and repair
