Public Hearing: July 22, 2014 Petition: Rezone 10719 d' 1,�1 Zoning Amendment: Town/sect: ' o Staff Report A-1EX Exclusive Agriculture Montrose District to RH-2 Rural Homes Section 09 District Acres:22.5 Applicant Zoning and Land Regulation Committee Survey Req. Yes Pauli REV Living TR, Reason: Donald F & Marie M Creating three residential lots Location: North 1070 Observatory Hill Road 1 •ii'l ti .A-_(8) To: RH-2 I 1 1-: • 1-1(E\) lk = -O ( RH-1 N o To: RH-2 J DESCRIPTION: The petitioner would like to create three residential lots. OBSERVATIONS: The eastern portion of the property consists of Class II soils. The center portion of the development area drops off with slopes exceeding 20% grade. This low lying area consists of hydric soils and has indicators that the area may be wetland. TOWN PLAN: Property is within a Farmland Preservation Area. Proposed three lots would exhaust the splits allocated to the property under the town/county comprehensive plan. (See density study in petition packet). RESOURCE PROTECTION: Portions of a wetland and floodplain buffer encroach on the southernmost proposed parcel, but there should be sufficient buildable area outside of the Resource Protection Corridor. STAFF: The proposal exhaust the housing density rights. Staff suggests that the remaining A-1 EX zoned land owned by the applicant from the original farm unit be deed restricted to prohibit further nonfarm development. Staff also recommends that a "no build area" be delineated on the CSM to prohibit development on the low areas of the interior of the property comprised of hydric soils. TOWN: Approved with no conditions. The Town minutes reflect that there may be issues with locating a driveway due to the topography of observatory Hill Road (blind spots).
