Excerpts from Plan Commission Meeting of May 4, 2006 Cal.No. 06-26 Petition of STEVEN A. LEWIS to amend the approved R-3 RDP Residential Development Plan at Southside Estates. Ms. Miller was sworn in by Mrs. Althoff. Ms. Miller presented the recommendation of staff: In March of 1979 the original 31-acre Southside Estates R 3 Residential Development Plan was approved with an amendment in April of 1980. The subdivision was first planned as a single family and multifamily subdivision but was amended in 1980 to single family and duplex development. Four duplexes were built in the first addition of the subdivision. All subsequent development has been single family development. The original plan called for a total of 97 lots; currently there are 51 developed lots in three additions of the subdivision;the east 11.54 acres of the original subdivision are vacant. The developer is proposing the development of 44 lots on the east 11.54 acre tract of the subdivision; Lot One through Lot Seven are singla�family lots; Lot Eight through Lot 43 are senior single-family housing lots; Lot 44 is a detention area. The 44 lots range in size from 14,859 square feet to 5,800 square feet; 6,000 square feet is minimum requirement for R-3 developments. Lots 34, 35, 36, and 37 do not meet the minimum lot size,but will meet the required R-3 building setbacks. The single-family lots will be accessed from Bay Hill Boulevard; the remaining 35 senior lots will be accessed from South Augusta Avenue and a circle drive adjacent to Augusta Avenue. The street layout has changed from the original submittal. The developer plans for the senior housing to be located to the east portion of the subdivision creating a separate living environments. Access will be only one way into this portion of the development. The density of the proposed amendment has not changed from the approved Residential Development Plan. City water and sewers will be provided to the development. Staff believes that the proposed development is compatible with the surrounding area and will have a positive impact on the neighborhood. The plan is consistent wi� the comprehensive plan for low density residential development. The existing and proposed streets are adequate to carry the anticipated traffic of the development. The-proposed utilities are adequate to serve the development. The amendment was reviewed by the City's Technical Review Committee; at the TRC meeting, Fire expressed concerns with more than 30 units on a one way ingress�egress street arrangement. The adopted fire code limits the number of housing units on a on� way in access. The Fire Chief inet with the developer's representative on Friday (April
