Excerpts from Plan Commission Meeting of April 7, 1994 Cal. No. 94-32 Petition of CLP,RENCE THOMPSON to further amend an R-3 Residence Development Plan which was granted by Ordinance #5567 and subsequently amended for a tract of land generally located in the 2600 block Forrest Green Drive. Mr. Clarence Thompson, president of Thompson Lumber Company, and owner of the property involved, was present and spoke for the petition stating that Lot 79 is part of a larger lot that involves condominiums. Mr. Thompson is now proposing a duplex with each unit to have 1, 792 square feet. The unit to the east would be 67 feet deep and the building to the west would be 85 feet deep. An architect will be hired to determine elevations if the petition is granted. Mr. Kenneth Harm was present and stated that he may be interested in the duplex if built. Mr. Harm stated that the left unit is adjacent to condominiums and an asphalt parking lot. He stated his preference for a 20 foot setback versus a 30 foot setback to better "center" the building and provide additional green space adjacent to the condominium development. Mr. McQueen questioned the petitioner's preference of the three site plans that were submitted. Mr. Thompson stated that all plans were based on a 20 foot setback and �they would like the flexibility of selecting any one of the three. Mr. Fisher questioned the side lot line of Lot 13 . Mr. McQueen stated that one line represents the original 30 foot setback and the other line shows the additional land acquired for the adjoining single family lot. There were no objectors present. Mr. McQueen presented the recommendation of staff: The Residence Development Plan for Forrest Green Addition included several acres and has been amended several times since 1972 . There is presently a ten unit building and there could be a new ten unit building constructed. This proposal is for a single story duplex. The 20 foot setback on the east is acceptable and in keeping with the characteristics of the area. If a single family dwelling were constructed at this location a five foot setback would be acceptable. Staff recommends approval of the petition with the following stipulations: (1) Plan A, B, or C to be built in accordance with submitted plan, and (2) an elevation plan be submitted and approved by the Department of Community Development prior to a building permit being issued.
