MEMBERS PRESENT: Barbara Crook, Don Hunnicutt, Melanie Stockdell MEMBERS ABSENT: None OTHERS PRESENT: Tom Hopper, Bobbie Jones, Suzanne Kennedy With no corrections or additions, Chairman Hunnicutt said the Minutes of the June 10, 1983 Subdivision Committee meeting stand approved. The second item on the agenda was to consider approval of the Large Scale Development Plan for Paradise Valley Condominiums to be located on East Joyce Street between Paradise Valley Golf Course and the Physical Therapy Clinic and Orthopaedic -Neurological Clinic; owner -developer, Lindsey, Sexton and Reynolds; zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential District. Tom Hopper was present representing Crafton, Tull, Spann and Yoe. Tom Hopper spoke to the question raised at Plat Review Committee meeting on the jog in the right-of-way of Joyce Street. He said he had conferred with Clayton Powell and the right-of-way as shown is correct. There is a jog because the sections do not match up at the range line Hopper said the centerline of the right-of-way is on the south side of the roadbed. Barbara Crook asked for what reason they did not want to eliminate the jog. Hopper said dedicating additional right-of-way would take more of the existing tennis courts and would cut more into the golf course. Don Hunnicutt said Plat Review comments need to be clarified that the dedication of right-of-way be "as shown" rather than 40 feet from the centerline. MINUTES was held at LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT PLAN PARADISE VALLEY CONDOMINIUMS EAST JOYCE STREET LINDSEY, SEXTON AND REYNOLDS Bobbie Jones said City Manager Don Grimes has said he prefers to have Joyce Street widened now, rather than later, that this developer should be asked to pay his share of the costs of paving 31 feet back to back, abutting the property, with the City paving its share of a wider street. Tom Hopper said the developer is willing to execute a Bill of Assurance for those improvements to be made at the call of the City. Don Hunnicutt said that is all the Subdivision Committee would require at this time. Bobbie Jones said the Code says the developer may post a cash bond or, with the approval of the Board of Directors, execute a Bill of Assurance for street improvements. Don Hunnicutt asked Hopper if there is a request to waive the 40 foot maximum width on the driveway. Hopper said the 46 foot total width they wish to have includes the ten foot island in the center of the driveway. Bobbie Jones said the swimming pool is required to be at least 100 feet away from other R -zoned property, the distance shown is 50 feet, and they are requesting a waiver on this. She said this appears to be a reasonable request for waiver because the adjacent land will be a golf course fairway. ►15 • • • Subdivision Committee July 22, 1983 Page Two Barbara Crook suggested adding the sidewalk construction in with the Bill of Assurance for street improvements. Bobbie Jones said she can grant a Bill of Assurance on sidewalk but said it should be built when curb and gutter are installed. It was noted the request for lot split approval for a third split (for property less than five acres) must go before the Planning Commission. Don Hunnicutt asked if there would be a horizontal property regime set up. Tom Hopper said they would forward Covenants on that when they are prepared. Barbara Crook asked about the notation on the plat about street lights "by others". Tom Hopper said the City had asked for high sodium lights on the other section of Joyce, and pays the difference between the cost of standard lights and high sodium lights. He said he has only proposed the location of the lights on the plat. Bobbie Jones said the streetlights are not required of the developer for a large scale development, only for a subdivision. Bobbie Jones said this development could be subject to a parks fee requirement in the future, if the City wins its appeal in the courts. Hunnicutt asked if property owner notification had been made, and Hopper said he had talked to Gene Andrews of the Clinic to the East and sent him a letter. Bobbie Jones said notification is required only for property owners with a common property line and a different zoning. Bobbie Jones asked the committee to take note that there is a request to move the caretaker's house elsewhere on the golf course, presently operating under conditional use approval. She said if the house is moved, it must meet A-1 setbacks. Tom Hopper said temporary access will be provided for the house. Bobbie Jones said a request must be made for a conditional use for additional fairways to be built for the golf course. In light of the fact Mr. Hopper was not aware of the need for conditional use approval for building the fairways until now, it was decided he could take a request for a conditional use before the Planning Commission on July 25th, if he were to file an application before then. Bobbie Jones said property owner notification is not required by Code, only by policy. It was decided, if the legal description of the fairway property goes all the way to Highway 265, that the property owner across that -:road should be notified, and that Hopper bring proof of notification to the Planning Commission meeting. Barbara Crook moved to recommend approval of the Large Scale Development MOTION as shown,ssubject.to.(1)1 Plat Review comments, (2) execution of a Bill of Assurance for the developer's proportionate share of street improvements and sidewalk to City standards, (3) approval of a waiver of the 100 foot setback distance for the swimming pool to fifty feet, and (4) approval of a waiver of the forty foot maximum driveway requirement to 46 feet. The motion was seconded by Melanie Stockdell and passed, 3-0. It was noted that, although there will be a 25 -foot easement along the south property line, the scale shown on the plat is incorrect. Bobbie Jones said this easement will be given in a separate document. She also noted that 114. • • Subdivision Committee July 22, 1983 Page Three Mr. Hopper wishes to simply draw the easements on a plat and record it rather than write legal descriptions for them, because they would be so complicated to describe and understand. There was no objection expressed to this suggestion. With no further business, the meeting adjourned at 2:15 P.M. 117
