Agenda Report #
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Creekrise Subdivision - Variance Request Single Entrance
INITIATED BY: Department of Engineering
Recommendation: Approval is requested for a variance request for
platting and development of future additions to Creekrise Subdivision to
Section 7.8.1.F of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requiring a second
entrance for subdivisions with more than 99 lots.
Background: Section 7.8.1.F requires that a single entrance to a
subdivision shall serve no more than 99 lots. The code does allow for the
Engineering Director to waive this requirement following sound engineering
practices. The existing subdivision currently contains 58 lots with a request
to add and additional 85 lots. The total number of lots would then be 143.
Analysis: The developer did meet with an adjoining property owner to try and
get an emergency access that would be closed except in case of emergencies.
The owner of the property denied the request. Also, the estimated cost would
make it economically unfeasible due to the required grading given the steep
terrain.
Financial Considerations: The City would assume normal maintenance of any
formally accepted roads.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: The City is responsible for
maintenance on all public roads.
Legal Considerations:
Recommendations/ Actions: Approval is requested for a variance request for
platting and development of future additions to Creekrise Subdivision to
Section 7.8.1.F of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requiring a second
entrance for subdivisions with more than 99 lots.
