DEPARTMENT REPORT
October 7, 2003
4. Docket-Nos._126-03`Z:(#03080012);127-03 Z (#03080013)
Burlingame Subdivision Rezone-'
The applicant seeks to Rezone 67.295 acresf from S-1/Very Low Intensity Residence to
R-2/Residence and also seeks to rezone 9.13 acrest from S-1/Very Low Intensity
Residence to R-4/Residence. The site is located at 13619 Shelborne Road.
Filed by Steve Pittman on behalf of Shelburn Family Limited Trust.
The applicant is proposing to rezone approximately 76 acres to accommodate the development of
a neighborhood containing Townhomes, single-family homes, and ball fields for the Carmel
Dads' Club. The applicant has provided an information packet including the development
requirements for each zone (R-4 and R-2) and a rendering of the proposed layout. However,
there is nothing to back up the rendering with a guazantee. As has been seen in the past the
Commission is presented with a concept. Nothing has been proposed by the applicant that would
prevent the residential portion of the site from being developed in any manner available under the
R-4 and R-2 standards. The applicant is aware that his approach will need to be modified to gain
Department support. They indicate that they would like to initiate that process thought the
Subdivision Committee, as was the case with the Weston Pointe development.
The applicant has offered commitments that clarify the proposed plan. The Commission should
be provided additional exhibits displaying the character and quality of the proposed
neighborhood (within a set of commitments) that warrants positive consideration.
A review of the proposed commitments (see enclosed copy) would be a good place to start the
committee discussion.
Several concerns were raised at the public hearing including the following:
1. The proposed density of the plan.
2. Number of lots adjacent to single larger home site.
3. The need to buffer neighboring residents.
4. Traffic concerns.
5. Request to see afour-way stop at 141st and Shelborne Road.
6. Desire to see more open space.
7. Opinion the chain-link fence looked bad.
8. Operation of Dads' Club facility a concern.
Questions from Commission members included the following:
1. Desire too see the density breakdowns
Committee Report 2003-1007
2. Request to be provided information on parking requirements for ball fields.
3. Request for additional information regarding lot sizes along the perimeter of the site.
4. Discussion on how football field would be an amenity.
5. Request for landscaping on Street Fleet facility site.
Additional Background from September 16`h Plan Commission Report:
The following issues need to be fully addressed by the petitioner, for review by the Plan
Commission, prior to forwarding this proposal to the City Council for final action:
1. Permitted uses: The list of permitted uses should be restricted and the discussion limited
to Multiple-family dwellings (townhomes), single family dwellings, and a recreational
facility by way of commitment. The number of each type of home may also be discussed.
The applicant has discussed reserving an area for single story ranch homes geared to
empty nesters.
2. Dads, Club Facility: Is the applicant proposing to construct this facility and tum it over
to the Dads' Club, provide the real estate, or build the fields only, etc.? This issue is
relevant based on the rezone of the property. The applicant needs open space to meet the
ROSO requirements. They are requesting a significant density boost over what is
currently permitted for the site under the S-1 zoning. The question is what are we (the
Community) getting for developer obtaining the ability to construct additional homes.
3. Architectural Designs /building materials: What do the residential buildings look like?
Are they of the same materials? Is the applicant willing to commit to specific materials
and designs?
4. Site Layout: Is the proposed layout the best for the site. Are they committing to return
to the Commission with a primary plat that is consistent with the proposed design?
Specific commitments could be made to address the characteristics of community
5. Access and Traffic: Does the street layout conform to the plan contemplated for the
area? The applicant should provide an exhibit illustrating how this proposal fits into the
overall picture of the area. In addition further discussion needs to take place regarding
the traffic analysis provided by the applicant and what improvements are necessary or
attributed to the proposed development plan for the site.
While this is not an exhaustive list of the issues that need additional analysis I believe it provides
For a reasonable basis for discussion at the hearing Tuesday evening and direction for the
Committee.
The Department recommends that the Subdivision Committee forward this request to the
full Commission after all comments and concerns have been addressed.
