Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted to approve the rezoning 6-1. There were several comments at the public hearing regarding traffic, loss of trees and the density of the project.
Background
Bald Eagle Builders, Inc. is proposing to develop a small infill plat (8 lots) on a 4.6 acre property that is between 119th Avenue and 118th Avenue just to the east of Aberdeen Street/Club West Parkway. The proposal requires a rezoning of the property and approval of a preliminary plat.
Rezoning
In order to plat the property into 8 lots, the subject property must be rezoned from FR (Farm Residential) to R-1A (Single Family). Since the minimum lot size in the FR zoning district is 10 acres, the rezoning is necessary to create the smaller lot sizes allowed in the R-1A zoning district. In addition, the property is surrounded on the north, east and west sides by the R-1A zoned properties, so the development will be in keeping with the character of the surrounding neighborhood.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
