Capital Hill PUD Page 60 of 67 Planned Unit Development Application - Tentative Stage - Written Statement March 3, 2017 (Revised:June 19, 2017, August 22, 2017) Lot 17 Lot size 31,131 sf Lot 18 Lot size 18,400 sf Lot 19 Lot size 21,023 sf Preservation Area 17,742 Usable Area 13,389 sf Preservation Area 9,095 sf Usable Area 9,305 sf Preservation Area 10, 795 sf Usable Area 10,228 sf This meets the PUD purpose in a variety of ways, particularly as inclusion of the conversation areas within the individual lots preserves natural areas and provides a multitude of opportunities to enhance habitat areas. While there are no protected species present on the site, the conservation areas will also provide wildlife corridors for species such as deer, birds, grey squirrels, and more. li also ensures that resources are conserved, while still reaching appropriate density on-site. In summary, flexibility for the lot coverage, frontage, and area criteria is specifically requested to ensure the site is designed as a livable and compatible addition to the surrounding residential and recreational uses. Moreover, this design was developed over a number of years in consultation with surrounding neighbors and city staff. It is a direct response to concerns regarding preservation of natural resources, vegetation, and trees, as well as concerns over potential impacts to the Ribbon Trail. Even though the subject property line is fairly close to the Ribbon Trail, the applicant has chosen to rely on the flexibility of the PUD process and to arrange and design lots in such a way that this important community resource is visually protected and buffered from as much development as feasible. Moreover, the development requests flexibility regarding lot coverage standards to ensure the City's housing and infill strategies are appropriately integrated into the site design. This decision is also based on feedback from neighbors and city staff. Finally, the requested flexibility for lot frontage is based on a number of concerns from neighbors and City staff. If each lot was arranged in such a way as to have frontage on Capital Drive and Cupola Drive, many units and valuable natural area would be lost. Dispersed access through a mixture of easements, Capital Drive, and Cupola Drive is a far safer and efficient way to provide access to lots, while also ensuring the development is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Considering the unique qualities of this neighborhood, a traditional lot-by-lot approach to development, which many of the R-1 standards support, is not always an effective way to ensure either compatibility or well-designed infill. Therefore, we request that the development be given flexibility though the PUD process with respect to the three criteria above. EC 9.5500 Multiple-Family Standards. (2) Applicability of Multiple-Family Standards (a) Except for building alterations and building additions that increase the square footage of livable floor area by less than 50%, multiple family standards shall apply to all multiple family developments in all zones except commercial... The property is zoned R-1. Only lot 17, when a development is proposed, could potentially be required to respond to these development standards. The lot is proposed for development of 1 to 3 units, each of which are single family attached. If the owner of this lot proposes 3 single family attached units, then this section will apply. If they propose less than the maximum number of units allowed on this lot, then this section will not apply. Compliance with this section can be evaluated at time of building permit submittal. No units are proposed as a part of this PUD submittal. Table EC 9.6105(4) Minimum Required Bicycle Parking Spaces There are no bike parking requirements for single family lots. Lot 17 may or may not be developed with multiple units. This criterion will be evaluated for compliance at time of building permit submittal.
