Springfield Fire states that they do not support the proposed development at this time until a fire <br />apparatus access road meeting the requirements of EFC Appendix D, Section D104.3 and D107.1 is <br />provided. <br />Based on the above findings above, this criterion is not met. As an aside, staff notes that the "19-Lot <br />Rule" is not included in the PUD General Criteria. That is, the applicant could have reverted to <br />applying the General Criteria when staff raised concerns in regard to this standard, yet they chose to <br />proceed under the Needed Housing criteria anyway. <br />EC 9.8325(7): The PUD complies with all of the following (an approved adjustment to a standard <br />pursuant to the provisions beginning at EC 9.8015 of this land use code constitutes compliance <br />with the standard): <br />(a) EC 9.2000 through 9.3915 regarding lot dimensions and density requirements for the <br />subject zone. Within the /WR Water Resources Conservation Overlay Zone or /WQ <br />Water Quality Overlay Zone, no new lot may be created if more than 33% of the lot, as <br />created, would be occupied by either: <br />1. The combined area of the /WR conservation setback and any portion of the Goal 5 <br />Water Resource Site that extends landward beyond the conservation setback; or <br />2. The /WQ Management Area. <br />Lot Dimensions: All proposed lots comply with the minimum lot area requirement of 4,500 feet in the <br />R-1 zone. Lots #3 and #6 exceed the maximum allowable lot size of 13,500 square feet; however, <br />these lots are impacted by criterion EC 9.8325(5), which restricts grading or any development on <br />slopes greater than 20%. With implementation of this slope restriction, Lots #3 and #6 have a <br />developable area of less than 13,500 square feet. Based on these findings, the proposed parcels meet <br />lot dimension standards. <br />Flag Lots: While it is not clear on the submitted site plans, the applicant states that Lots #5 and #6 are <br />proposed as flag lots. These lots appear to meet the 6,000 square feet lot area minimum for <br />residential flag lots, as well as the minimum lot width of 50 feet. Consistent with flag lot standards, <br />Lots #5 and #6 have a combined frontage (pole width) of 25 feet. <br />The proposal complies with all lot dimension and density requirements for the subject zone. <br />The second part of this criterion does not apply as the site is not within the /WR Water Resources <br />Conservation Overlay Zone or /WQ Water Quality Overlay Zone. <br />(b) EC 9.6500 through 9.6505 Public Improvement Standards. <br />EC 9.6500 Easements <br />This section authorizes the City to require dedication of easements for public utilities and access <br />under certain circumstances. The applicant proposes a 7' wide Public Utility Easement (PUE) adjacent <br />to West Amazon Drive. The application does not propose any other public easement dedications nor <br />are there any public improvements that would result in the need for additional public easements on <br />Staff Report (PDT 15-1/ARA 15-13) October 2015 10 <br />HO Agenda - Page 17 <br />
