The only item reviewed by the Committee was a request for approval of a large scale development for Zion Road Apartments, represented by Kim Fugitt. The property, consists of 8.88 acres with 14 units proposed. The property is zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential. Mr. Bunn explained there were numerous corrections Mr. Fugitt had to make to the plat, including the moving of the water and sewer lines to the center of the project to enable the utility companies to have their easement on the perimeter. In response to a question from Mr. Bunn, Mr. Fugitt explained they were moving the buildings toward the center in order to allow room for the 25 -foot easement. Mr. Bunn stated the water and sewer lines could not be run through the pond. He further stated he would verify the location of the fire hydrants with Mickey Jackson. Mr. Nickle stated he was concerned about access into and out of the complex. He suggested lining up the western entrance/exit with Randal Road. Mr. Tarvin stated he partially agreed with Mr. Nickle but the proposed jog would discourage motorist from shooting right across Zion Road. Ms. Bryant stated good planning principles dictated a street intersection rather than a "dog leg". Mr. Bunn explained Mr. Fugitt would either have to purchase more property or obtain a waiver from the Planning Commission. Mr. Nickle explained that, when the streets were off -set just a little bit, it was a dangerous situation. • In response to a question from Mr. Nickle, Mr. Bunn explained Mickey Jackson had looked at the proposal complex and had mentioned • • • * Subdivision Committee August 15, 1991 Page 2 fire hydrants. He had not mentioned access for emergency vehicles. Mr. Fugitt explained there was a 60 -foot inside radius. He would check to see if that was large enough for emergency vehicles. It was determined that no screening requirements would apply because the property was residential. Mr. Bunn pointed out the surrounding zoning. In response to a question from Mr. Tarvin, Mr. Fugitt explained he had provided two parking spaces for each two-bedroom apartment and one and one-half parking spaces for each one -bedroom. He further explained most of the parking was at a 90 degree angle on the sides but not on the main driveway. Ms. Bryant stated the Traffic Department had projected over 1,000 vehicles per day for the driveway. She explained that was one of the few criteria upon which a large scale development could be denied. Mr. Bunn stated the grading application and plan still had not been resolved. Mr. Fugitt explained he was working on it. He stated the grading plan was completed and they were presently distinguishing where the cuts and fills would occur, calculating the different slopes, etc. Mr. Bunn also discussed drainage plans with Mr. Fugitt. He explained his office would have to approve the drainage plan. Mr. Tarvin suggested Mr. Fugitt check the size of the culvert on Zion Road to be sure it was adequate for the drainage. Mr. Nickle stated he had no other comments other than it appeared to be crowded. He asked what the density was and what the maximum density was in R-2 zoning. Mr. Bunn explained the zoning maximum was 24 and this complex had calculated to 19. Mr. Bunn explained all of the easements would need to be dedicated by separate instrument. Ms. Bryant suggested Mr. Fugitt get approval for the sign from the City Sign Inspector. In response to a question from Ms. Bryant, Mr. Bunn stated the right-of-way on Zion Road was adequate. • • • Subdivision Committee August 15, 1991 Page 3 MOTION • Mr. Nickle moved to recommend approval to the Planning Commission of the large scale development.
