Page 3 of 6 October 11, 2018 BAR Minutes Jaimie Reavis, Senior Planner, Department of Community Development, gave the staff presentation. The proposal is to remove three of the parcels originally included in the Preliminary Plat. When Phase 1 of the project was approved in 2008, the owners of the three properties signed an affidavit of ownership stating they were aware that the current project was proposed before the City. Since then the apartment building was sold, and the applicant for the Osterly Park Townhomes was not able to work out an agreement with the new owner of the apartment building to be able to include the apartment building property in Phase 2 of the Osterly Park Townhomes. Preliminary Subdivision Staff provided an explanation of the platting process and a detailed overview of the project for Phase 1 and 2. Staff noted that after the packet was finalized a revised survey document was submitted by the applicant. Staff entered three exhibits into the record: 1) The revised plat map, 2) the recorded plat for Phase 1, 3) CC&Rs recorded for Phase 1. Staff handed out a copy of the threeexhibits to the Commissioners. Staff addressed questions from the Commissioners. It was noted that the applicant has not submitted various review documentation for the project, including the proposed recreation easement. The Phase 1 Final Plat recorded for the Osterly Park Townhomes includes a note that the Temporary Recreation Tract is owned by the C sterly Park Townhomes Homeowners Association. It is not clear whether the Homeowners Association has been formed. Staff recommended a new condition be added for the record to require the applicant to provide evidence he has the legal authority to transfer the Temporary Recreation Tract property to the 14424 34' Ave S Condo property prior to Final Plat approval. Design Review Staff provided background information on the site, the review process, and the design review criteria. Staff addressed questions from the Commissioners, and it was noted that the applicant has not submitted various review documentation The applicant has requested modifications to the required landscaping, including: 1) Landscape perimeter averaging, 2) Allowance for a sidewalk within the perimeter landscaped area, and 3) Clustering of the required, trees and scrubs. The revisedsurvey that staff handed out at the public hearing is proposing a fourth recreation area, which was not included in the staff report. The additional proposed recreation space is the existing Temporary Recreation Tract located north of the Condo Building and is not needed to meet the code requirements. The guest parking spaces are proposed to decrease in number from what was originally approved for Phase 2, from 12 stalls to 8 stalls. The guest parking spaces would be for guest parking only, except that the two spaces in the easement area of the Condo property would also be used by residents of the Condo property. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: • Staff recommended approval of the Preliminary Subdivision application with conditions, as listed on pages 94 and 95 of the staff report. An additional condition was recommended to require the applicant to provide evidence of his legal authority prior to Final Plat approval to transfer the Temporary Recreation Tract shown on the Final Plat for Phase 1 to the 14424 34th Ave S Condo property. • Staff recommended approval of the landscape modifications • Staff recommended approval of the Design Review Major Modification, with five conditions, as list in on page 88-89 of the staff report.
