ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION:
CLARIFICAT T'IN Mr. Hank Skokowski, President of Urban Design Studio, was in attendance
OF ONV CK5 FOR
IO to rcviev uit'h Lhe Council the elarifieat,on of setbacks for the " Tronwood
CREATED BY PUD" in the PGA National Resort Community.
RES. 70. 1980
Prior to Mr. Skokowski's presentation, the City €Manager stated that upon
Aft qw
approval of Resolution 70, 1980, which created the Ironwood PUD, the plan
only :,howeci the layout of the building foundation and how thev
would relate to each other. A problem developed at the time of Issuance
of a building permit in that,administrativ'ely, the Euilding Official
City Council Regular Meeting, 2/19/81
Page -5-
could not issue a permit in that there wasn't anything in the Code
that addressed the zero -lot -line concept with regards to the setback
requirements. As it stands now, they must comply with the setback
requirements of 25' in the front, and the problem arose in meeting these
setbacks.
Mr. Skokowski stated that they have 4 diFferent type tit ito ranging in
size from 62' long to 75' long. They are requesting that the City consider
allowiny the Front yard setbacks to vary from 20' to 25', depending on
the unit size. The lots in Ironwood art 1,11" deep, with the exception
of 5; their largest unit being 75' long would riot meet a 25' front yard
setback. The 5 lots that are the smallest are on the golf course,and would
only have a 62' deep unit on them. In this case, they would want to main-
tain a 2O' setback. Their objectives are also to create a meandering
effect by varying the setbacks. One other point brought out by Mr.
Skokouski was that the sales anclude the lot and a choice of one of the 4
units.
Subsequent to further disrusston, a motion was made by Councilman Laurie
that the Ironwood PL'D in the PGA National Project be granted the ability
to have a 20' minimum setback on tltir buildings with a proviso that they
apply the theory of a meandering concept. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Kiedis and was unanimously adopted by the Council.
