PH-1 Pre-Hearing Exhibit #1 <br />allowed by approval criterion EC 9.8320(11)(k) -); based on those <br />subsequent findings and conditions, which are incorporated here by reference, the PUD will <br />provide adequate screening along the west property boundary. Staff notes that, if the Hearings <br />Official approves the modification, the applicant is still required by EC 9.2741(7) to obtain an <br />easement from the abutting property owners (Tax Lots 100 and 5700). <br /> <br />North Property Line With regard to the north property line, <br />(Sheet L2) shows continuous landscaping, except for the driveway entrance, which is flanked by <br />proposed landscape beds with new tree plantings. <br />plans (see Attachment D-2), Oakleigh Lane abuts the western portion of the north property line <br />with 20 feet of right-of-way width. South of the existing 20-foot right-of-way, along the north <br />able <br />future right-of-way acquisition, should Oakleigh Lane need to be widened in the future. <br /> <br />setback, which is typically not allowed. The proposed buildings are just south of the special <br />setback, which means that those buildings would not have sufficient setbacks from the street if it <br />is widened in the future. Public Works staff indicates that the special setback is not necessary, <br />which resolves the above concerns <br />recommends just enough right-of-way dedication to: (a) meet the minimum right-of-way width to <br />enable future improvement of Oakleigh Lane, with an additional 22.5 feet of right-of-way along <br />the north property line, between the west property line and the east margin of the proposed <br />driveway (50 feet of lineal frontage); (b) provide right-of-way for a future hammerhead <br />turnaround and sidewalk to enable further development of adjacent lands to the north (Tax Lot <br />200), for an area that is 13 feet wide and 199 feet in length, along the north property boundary; <br />and (c) reserve an area for a future bicycle and pedestrian connection from the future <br />hammerhead to the east property boundary, abutting the City parklands, for an area that is 13 <br />feet wide and 24 feet long. (Refer to Attachment B.) The street right-of-way is evaluated in <br />greater detail under approval criterion EC 9.8320(5). <br /> <br />Building 1, abutting the portion of Oakleigh Lane that is east of the proposed driveway, is setback <br />by a minimum of 21 feet. (Refer to Attachment D-3 for a detail of the north line building setbacks.) <br />The northwest corner of Building 1 is setback 23 feet from the existing north property line, which <br />is just outside the 22.5-foot right-of-way dedication being required. Following the 22.5-foot wide <br />and 50-foot long right-of-way dedication at the northwest property corner, the abutting portion <br />of Building 1 would have a front yard setback of about half a foot. The required front yard setback <br />is 10 feet. The northeast corner of Building 1 is setback from the existing northern property line by <br />21 feet, which is outside the abutting area of right-of-way dedication being required. The right-of- <br />way requirement along the northeast portion of Building 1 is 13 feet; hence, the building setback <br />would be about eight feet, which is also less than the 10-foot front yard setback requirement. The <br />applicant requests a modification to the front yard setback requirements, in accordance with the <br />PUD purpose statements. This issue is evaluated later in this report, under approval criterion EC <br />9.8320(11)(k). <br /> <br />The easterly portion of the north property line is bordered by a row of existing large cedars, which <br />are primarily located on the property to the north.
