Master Plan. A review of the plans shows that the proposal conforms to all the requirements of the RC District, except in one area. Units are required to be 15 feet from any open space or setback. Units 1, 2 and 3 do not meet this setback but the commission can allow flexibility from the provision using section 1136.07d. The Residential Cluster District regulations require the Commission furnish a detailed report of findings and recommendations to City Council. The Commissions report should find that either the site plan complies with the regulations, standards, and criteria prescribed by the Zoning Code for residential cluster development, or a finding of any failure of such compliance and a recommendation that the site plan be approved, disapproved or modified. Mr. Conway said not all of the individual driveways meet the 16 foot width requirement because they turn into a side load garage. However the commission can grant relief from the requirement in accordance with the cluster chapter. Mr. Collins said engineering memo ofNovember 7, 2007 still applied to the project. He continues to work with Mr. Zwick to ensure that all storm water management requirements are met prior to building permits being issued. TMS Engineers looked to see if decelerating or turning lanes were required either in the east or west bound lanes but found that neither was warranted. The engineering department concurs with both TMS Engineers reports of 10/16/07 and 1/2/08. The main drive entrance off of Butternut Ridge road still encroaches over the eastern property line and should be shifted west 5 or 6 feet to eliminate the radius encroachment. A subdivision plat needs to be submitted for approval and the plat is required showing all parcel lines, egress/ingress, utility easements, setbaclc and conservation easements which should include verbiage explaining each easement. The homeowner's agreement/bylaws are also required. Mr. O'Malley advised the commission of their duty under the City Charter. The matter before the commission is a rezoning matter which is legislative and includes a development plan. The land has yet to be rezoned, although both the development and rezoning are being addressed simultaneously in accordance to the residential cluster district requirements. He encouraged the commission to review the development as it relates to the 2005 Master Plan. Off site traffic concerns, utilities, electric, storm, gas, or sanitary are issues that may be discussed by the commission, but are under the jurisdiction of the city engineer. He requested the association bylaws/regulations and deed restrictions be submitted to the law department for review. Receiving these prior to approval will ensure that proper notification is given that the street is a private street and the city does not maintain nor provide certain governmental services. Mr. Lasko reviewed the commission's previous motion requesting a report from the engineer regarding the storm and sanitary lines, deed restrictions, easements submitted, information regarding impact on the septic and sanitary lines down Columbia Road and a detailed traffic study. He requested the city engineer provide the commission a copy of the traffic studies submitted by TMS Engineers. He questioned if the plans before the commission reflect a 40-foot wide easement to the city for future sanitary sewer crossings through the property. Mr. Collins said it was up to the commission to require the 40 foot easement and the issue to provide sanitary sewer service or leave it unsewered is still undecided. 2
