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