FROM: Susan Stevenson, Planner35 APPROVED BY: Curtis S. Williams, Planning Directk RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission: Approve the requested Site Development Permit, subject to the recommended conditions of approval. BACKGROUND The subject property is currently developed with a single story ranch style house. The property is located at the south side of the Orchard Hill Lane cul de sac. The subject property is lot 6 of tract 3280 which was subdivided in 1963. There are no conditions of the subdivision limiting development on the lot on record. CODE REQUIREMENTS As required by Section 10-2.301 of the Site Development Ordinance, this application for a new second unit has been forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and approval. Second units larger than 750 square feet are forwarded to the Planning Commission for review. Criteria for review from the Site Development Ordinance include grading, drainage, building siting, pathways, landscape screening and outdoor lighting. Zoning Code review encompasses compliance with floor and development area requirements, setbacks, height and parking. This project has been scheduled for the Commission's "Consent Calendar," meaning there will be no discussion unless a Commission member or someone from the public pulls the item for consideration. While there may be details which could be discussed, staff strongly believes that the height, style, and materials proposed are substantially consistent with the Town's codes and Design Guidelines, and the project should be readily approved. If Conunissioners have questions about the project, please contact staff in advance of the meeting.
