Subject: Creekrise Subdivision Lot Limitation Variance
No attachments for this document.
Representatives from the City Manager's Office, Engineering Department,
Planning Department and City Attorney's Office have been in discussion with Mr.
George Mize representing clients that wish to development approximately 143
lots in the Creekrise Subdivision that has a single entrance. This is in
conflict with the current UDO Section 7.8.1.F. which gives the Director of
Engineering the authority to grant a variance based on sound engineering
practices if the property configuration prohibits or makes impractical the
installation of two entrances . The Engineering Director has denied their
request. There is currently not a variance process for that Section of the UDO
if someone disagrees with the decision of the Director of Engineering. Mr.
George Mize has spoken with several Councilors regarding this issue and his
intent of coming to Council on May 8, 2018 for requesting a variance. Staff
is reviewing this requirement to determine if modifications need to be made to
the standard or a variance process adopted similar to that of 7.8.3. which was
recently adopted by Council. A recommendation will be brought back to Council
in the near future.
