Resolution 42, 1979, will be considered by the Council at their Regular Meeting of May 17, 1979. ORDINANCES: At their duly advertised Public Hearing held April 24, 1979. the Planning ANNEX. OF 10- and Zoning Commission recommended to the City Council the annexation of a ACRE PARCEL, S. ten acre parcel of land located within Section 13 -42 -42 along the southern UF— RUE177T . , W TR. perimeter of Lots 4 -A thru 12 -A of the Unrecorded PGA National Golf Club Estates, First Addition, PBG, with the zoning classification of RS - Single Family Residential District. Mr. Jack Mathis, Architect /Planner with Team Plan, Inc., addressed the Council representing a group of investors (i.e., Attorneys Frank and Mike Ryan and Mr. Lloyd Hasner of Hasco Builders /Realtors) purchasing the lands from Mr. Charles E. Brooks, the applicant. Their proposal is to develop within the 10 acres a quality subdivision with a density of 2.71 u /p /a called "Gardens Glen ", to consist of 28 single -- family lots ranging in size from 11,390 sq. ft. to 13,160 sq. ft.; and develop a road on the vacant lot lLot 9 -A) zoned RS -2 to gain access to the subdivision from Holly Drive. City Council Workshop Meeting, 5,'10/79 Page 3 The undeveloped 10 acres of land located contiguous to the east of the subject lands is within PBG and is owned by St. Ignatius Loyola Catholic Church; and the undeveloped 10 acre parcel located contiguous to the west is unincorporated and owned by Royal American Industries. In respect to the concern expressed by the residents /owners of Lots 8 -A and 11 -A re: the proposed entrance road converting their lots into corner lots, they propose to deed a 10' -wide strip of land to the two homeowners the entire depths of their lots, create a median -type of road with two single lanes on either side to break up the traffic, and create an opaque landscape screen along their boundary lines and plant landscaping within the median. And, in respect to the concern expressed by the residents /owners of the homes located adjacent to the proposed roadway on the north side of Holly Drive, they feel they can resolve most of the problems they may create by buffering their windows from the lights of vehicles that may shine into them. Attorney Frank Ryan added that prior to the Council's formal action on their annexation request, they would be willing to submit the landscaping and site plans for the proposed entrance road to the City's Site Plan and Appearance Review Committee for their approval and to guarantee those residences on either side they will be fully protected by providing landscaping to their satisfaction. Attorney Mike Ryan related the following proposals re: the subdivision: 1. Covenants that would run with the land would include: (a) a 5' -wide negative easement /restriction around the entire perimeter of the pro- perty, thus alleviating the possibility of a developer purchasing a lot of the subdivision to gain access to any future development on contiguous lands; and (b) the lot to be used for ingress /egress Lot 9 -A) could only be used for that purpose and for landscaping. 2. The covenants for the Gardens Glen Subdivision would be more strict than those running with the lands of the PGA National Golf Club Estates, which will be incorporated by reference. 3. There would be an Architectural Review Board within the Homeowners Association that would control /approve each structure within the subdivision. This Board and its standards would be provided for in the deed restrictions. These standards would be similar to those of the Woodland Lakes Single Family Development and would be submitted to the City for review prior to filing. City Council Workshop Meeting, 5/10/79 Page 4 4. Their proposal included that the roads would be private to ensure proper maintenance of the landscaping and roadways; however, they would not object to public roads. If the roads are dedicated to the City, the Homeowners Assoc. will be responsible for at least the maintenance of the landscaping along the entrance road. Attorney Mike Ryan added that each deed would make reference that the owner purchases the property subject to the restrictions and that these restric- tions could include that the entrance road will be maintained per an architectural landscaping drawing that is agreeable to the owners of the property on either side. The members of the Council were unanimously in favor of the annexation of this "out- parcel" into the City. Mayor Laurie, Councilman Feeney, and Councilman Aldred indicated that they would prefer the creation of a single family PUD on these lands rather than a subdivision, enabling the City's control /enforcement of the requirements rather than the Homeowners Association. Vice Mayor Kiedis and Councilman Martino were not objection- able to a subdivision, as long as the City ensures that the homeowners on the east and west sides of the entrance road and those existing homes along Holly Dr, that will abut the subdivision along their rear property lines are protected. Mr. Mathis offered to meet with the City Manager to compare the timetables for (1) applying for the creation of a PUD concurrent with the annexation request and (2) applying for a subdivision subsequent to the annexation/ zoning of the property. If the PUD application will not cause any unduly delay or financial burden, they would not have any objections to this approach. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION: PREPARATION OF Pursuant to the discussions at the May 1, 1979 meeting, Mayor Laurie RE MrTU IM NOSED MAWS- acknowledged receipt of a written proposal from Ms. Emily Obst in the CENTER amount of 1,000 for the preparation of preliminary plans for a Community Center. At the Regular Meeting of May 17, 1979, the Council will consider the authorization of funds for the preparation of these plans. In the meantime, the City Manager was requested to contact Ms. Obst re: her pro- posal including the preparation of a cross - section for the second story, if applicable.
