Joint Venture Address: 3415 Greystone, Suite 304 Austin, TX 78731 Telephone: 512-345-5406 Agent: Planned Development Concepts (Marcus Lester) Address: 3415 Greystone, Suite 304 Austin, TX 78731 Telephone: 512-345-5486 Approval of preliminary plat and site plan of University Parli a planned unit development, an 81418 acre tract in the William Addison Survey, Abstract No. 21. Facts, Location: South of Hwy 29 and northeast of Hutto Road. Surrounding Area: Undeveloped land and proposed normal and small lot single family residential. Proposed Uses: a residential development of small lot single family and multi -family (townhouses) and rec- reational facilities. Development Plant This area was designated as normal res- idential and schools and parks, thus the high residential densities planned do not conform to the master plan. Concerns: 1. The primary issue on this project is the small lot size and non-standard configuration of the lot and street layout. Under the P.U.D. Ordinance it is up to the developer to demonstrate that any deviation from standard requirements will contribute to a "better" design. 2. A second issue is the extent to which the stre system will need to tie in to surrounding pro- perties without destroying the unifiedneighbo hood concept. I 3. Applicant must demonstrate that common areas and other amenities provide safe and useable recreational features in sufficient quantity and of sufficient quality to promote a super- ior neighborhood design. 4. The concepts proposed in this development and the degree with which they vary for existing City standards could set a president for future developments RECOMMENDATION: P & Z (5"0) The plat and site plan should be resubmitted with the following comments satisfied. Staff shall determine whether or not plat and site plan are to be returned to P & Z. COMMENTS: I. Plat and support documents should conform to requirements of P.U.D. ordinance. II. The following ordinance requirements concerning lots have not been met and variances are requested: A. Area less than 6000 square feet, lots in the patio homes area range from 4,050 to 4,275 square feet. B. Front width less than 60 feet and/or average depth less than 100 feet. Many lots are shown with fronts ranging from 20-50', Lot depth for patio homes is 90-95 feet. C. Lots fronting on two non intersection streets D. Lots placed at right angles to other lots E. 25 Foot front yard setback is reduced to either 10 feet or 15 feet. F. 7 foot side yard setback is reduced to 5 feet or zero feet. "Deed back" concept needs to be re-evaluated. G. Elimination of public utility easements along rear and side lot lines. (Complete evaluation of these variances cannot be completed until a more detailed site plan is reviewed. However, in general, it is the recommendation of the staff that the size and shape of lots be increased: to accommodate the residential units described in the "Product Justification" section of proposal; to provide a minimum 15 foot front yard; to provide minimum side yards as required for spacing of structures; to conform to standards for maximum coverage by structures, maximum impervious cover, and required private open space; and to reduce or make special provisions for lots at right angles and double frontage lots. Staff has no objection to elimination of rear and side utility easements.) III. The following ordinance requirements and City policies regarding streets have not been met: A.- The concept of terminating all streets and not allowing through traffic is counter to standard practice. Recommend providing street access to adjacent properties to the north, east and south. B. Horn Court exceeds 6001 maximum length for cul-de-sac and should be connected to Snyder Court and the request for variance not granted. Similar redesign should be considered for Hyer Court and Merritt Court. C. Street off -sets at Landrum Lane/Morrow and Kurth Cove/Morrow less than 125' D. 75 foot street center line radius on Rachel Court should be increased and requested Variance not granted. E. Morrow Drive should be 60' R.O.W. to Price Drive IV, A,moro complete description of the "ammenities" proposed for residents 18 needed to evaluate whether or not they compensate for requested ordinance variances. V. Variance must be requested and justified for proposed reduction of off-street parking requirements for three bedroom units. VI. Additional water storage facilities are re- quired to adequately accommodate the develop- ment. VII. Water Availability Note shall apply to this subdivision (ie. No building permits shall be issued until the proposed water treatment facilities are operational or an acceptable alternate source is provided.). VIII. The preliminary site plan and/or support documents should provide all informational requirements of Section 2.809 of P.U.D. Ordiance. IX. The site plan, typical lot layout, and architectural illustrations should be co-ordinated to provide an accurate indication of all facets of the development. X. A landscape plan should be submitted. Planning Department Recommendations: Preliminary Plat and Site Plan should not be approved until the comments mentioned above have been satisfied. 6,ouyic�/ 4c�id`h , 0,114,rp I?e2L't,l n 10 Ia. 1000 OAKS RETAIL CENTER - SITE PLAN MR. smug Name: Jerry Katz Address: 8140 MOPAC, Suite #140 Austin, TX 78759 Telephone: 512 327-5833 Agent: Perry Steger (Steger & Bizz�eell) Address: P. 0.
