. � � COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM NO. 93-71 � May 10, 1993 TO: Honorable Mayor Erik C. Brechnitz and City Council Members FROM: James C. Bacon, Jr. , City Manager . George C. Weaver, Community Development Acting Directo SUBJECT: Shorewood Estates Residence Development Plan Amendment, Lots 8, 9 and 10 On March 4, 1993 the Decatur City Plan Commission heard the petition of Paul D. Hopkins to amend a special use permit for Lots 8, 9, and 10 in Shorewood Estates, Third Addition. The existing plan calls for three single family lots. Previous plans have been approved for duplex and multi-family construction. The Plan Commission heard the request by the petitioner to allow for the construction of six duplex units. The Plan Commission recommended approval of the plan as presented. Following the action of the commission, the petitioner requested that the actual number of units be reduced from twelve to eight. Because the petitioner sought a reduction in the number of units, no action was required by the Plan Commission. The petitioner seeks one of two actions by the City Council in the interest of moving this project along. The first alternative is for four duplex lots along Millstream. The petitioner respectfully requests the Council to consider an alternative in the event the Council does not support the recommendation of the Plan Commission. The petitioner asks that the Council approve the four single family lots along Millstream. Staff recommended approval of the proposal as presented to the Plan Commission and, therefore, has no reservations in recommending the approval of the four duplex lots. Council members should be aware that an objection to the petition has been received containinq the signatures of more than 20 percent of adjacent and/or contiguous property owners. This will require a vote of five council members to approve the petition of Mr. Hopkins.
