Applicant: Greg Gamble, Gamble Design
Owner: John Franks, Simmons Ridge LLC
Background/Staff Comments
The Simmons Ridge Development Plan was originally approved by BOMA on November 23, 2010. This revision keeps the same number of units but adjusts the layout of the development to better preserve wetlands and a stream located on-site. An external access point along the northern property limits has also been relocated with this proposed revision, and a potential connection to Warren Road is being relocated to a more feasible location within the development. This proposed revision also adds a new housing type, an alley loaded single-family product, and adds a three-story option for the townhomes.
Modifications of Standards
MOS-1: Backing onto public streets
With revision 2 of the Simmons Ridge PUD Subdivision Development Plan in 2012, a modification of standards was approved from Section 5.9.3 (4)(b) of the Zoning Ordinance to allow vehicles to back out of guest parking spaces proposed within this development onto City streets, with the condition that the off-street parking areas be set off from the traveled way by a rolled curb, be constructed of pervious pavers, and be maintained by the Homeowners Association. The applicant is requesting a revision to the condition that was placed on the originally-granted modification of standards to allow the parking spaces to be constructed of a pavement surface approved by the City Engineer, rather than strictly pervious pavers. The original intent of the pavers was to provide a parking surface that was distinguishable from the asphalt surfacing of the roadway.
Staff recommends approval of this revised Modification of Standards.
