storage shed, which is about 20 feet from the east property line, near the southern property <br />preservation plan shows that the filbert cluster, <br />and a row of fruit trees along the southern property boundary, will be preserved. Based on <br />these findings, the PUD will provide adequate screening along the east property line. <br /> <br />South Property Line As noted above, a row of fruit trees along the eastern portion of the <br />indicate that a 24-inch fir and a 22-inch hemlock need to be removed to accommodate three <br />dwelling units near the western portion of the south property line. Sheet A1.1 of the <br />-2) show Building 5 and 6 setback seven and five feet from <br />the southern property line, respectively, with the exception of the southeast corner of Building <br />6, which appears to be within a foot of the property line. It is noted that the affected property <br />owner to the south submitted a letter in support of the proposed development (Mr. Adee). <br />Further, as recommended at EC 9.8320(11)(k), the applicant will be required to obtain an <br />easement from the abutting property owner for the substandard building setback. Sheet L2 of <br />-inch fence along the south property line, abutting Building 6. <br />As such, staff assumes there is sufficient screening along the south property line abutting <br />Buildings 5 and 6. <br /> <br />The southwest corner of the site has a paved vehicle use area and gravel parking areas. The <br />applicant proposes landscape planter beds between the parking spaces and the southern <br />property line and an eight-foot tall concrete wall on the southern property line, abutting the <br />vehicle use area. As discussed previously, the concrete wall is a structure subject to interior <br />yard setback requirements, which is five feet. With the wall located on the property line, the <br />applicant will be required to obtain an easement from the affected property owner (Tax Lot <br />5600), as conditioned at EC 9.8320(11)(k). It is noted that the owner of Tax Lot 5600, Mr. <br />Campbell, submitted a letter in support of the proposed development. Based on these findings, <br />the PUD will provide adequate screening along the south property line. <br /> <br />With regard to the overall bulk and height of the proposed buildings, the largest building is the <br />common house, which is located toward the center of the site. None of the buildings exceed <br />the maximum building height of 30 feet, established by the R-1 zone at EC 9.2750. The building <br />dimensions are also within the maximums of the multiple-family development standards at EC <br />9.5500. Based on these findings, building bulk and height does not appear to necessitate <br />further screening mitigation. <br /> <br />Based on the available information and the above findings and conditions, the PUD will comply <br />with approval criterion EC 9.8320(3). <br /> <br /> s <br /> <br /> The neighbors are generally dissatisfied with the proposed screening along all four <br />property boundaries. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Hearings Official Decision (PDT 13-1, WG 13-1) 12 <br /> <br /> <br />
