At the time of building permit issuance, it was discovered the units did not meet setbacks. Blah' Tremere, Acting Planning Director, presented the information as per plamfing report of August 18, 1994, and the supplemental memorandum of August 17, 1994. The request is to pant 2.5 foot side yard setback variances from the 7.5 foot side yard setback requirement for proposed units to be located on Lots 1,2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, of Sterling No~h at The Wilds. The proposal would result in structures that are located 5 feet from the side ymrl property lines. The variances being applied for are from those standards that were incorporated in The Wilds PUD. The separation standard of 15 feet is a minimum standard. The additional mquh'ement for a 7.5 foot side yard setback from the building to the property line provides for additional open space between the townhomes. The g~anting of variances to the three townhome units is an interim measure. The developer of The Wilds, is in the process of filing a PUD amendment to appropriately adjust the side yard setbacks for other lots wklfin the Stealing South plat. Mike Morley, Project Manager for The Wilds, stated that intent is to clarify the situation by the PUD alnenchnent and correct the technicality. Corrunents from the Co~xunissioners were: should have as much green space as possible, dedicated common mea, application of hardship criteria, need to rectify situation, and request is reasonable. MOTION BY LOFFUS, SECOND BY VONHOF, TO APPROVE A 2.5 FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK VARIANCE FROM THE 7.5 FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK REQUIREMENT FOR LOTS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, AND 6, STERLING NORTH AT THE WILDS.
