The plan appears to be in conformity with ordinance requirements. Density does not exceed 14 units per acre and land coverage is less than thirty percent of site. The restaurant proposed is permitted as an integrated part of the complex and includes a bakery and gift shop as permitted accessory uses. No other commercial use is proposed. The access drives within the complex are to be privately maintained. A blanket easement for the entire site, except building interiors, will be provided to the City to provide right of access for utility and emergency services. Please note that the single family use proposed along the south side of Edwards Avenue projected is NOT included in this plan but is subject to further action do determine that it is an appropriate area for approval of patio garden homes and, subsequently subdivision plat approval. A copy of engineer's letter relative to drainage and flood heights is attached hereto. Developer should be encouraged to carefully coordinate plan for stormwater runoff with the Alabama Highway Department for runoff involving state right-of-way facilities. Approval of the restaurant/bed-breakfast use must be simultaneous with approval of two or more residential structures in order for the restaurant to be qualified as an integrated part of the complex.

GLEN HARDY FARMS - Application of Robert Mitchell d/b/a Greater Gulf States Industries for Informal Sketch Plan Review for 20 lots in part of Green's Subdivision located on the south side of Volanta Avenue south of the Municipal Park. A similar plan was approved some 14 years ago, but preliminary approval has long since expired. This plan is contingent upon vacation of parts of Dewey Avenue and Mobile Avenue and the quit claims of. adjacent owners. Site is zoned R-1 and will require health department approval for underground waste disposal. Site slopes generally southeastward and a small stormwater retention area is shown south of Lot 3. This plan should not be considered for future preliminary approval until street 088-18 This Rev: 10/24/92 11 10/26-29/92 12/1/92 vacations, quit claims and health department review has been accomplished. *VICTORIAN HOMESTEAD ESTATES - Application of Partners, Inc. for Informal Sketch Plan Review for 41 lots at the northeast corner of U. S. 98 and Alabama Highway 104. Plan shows access from U.S. 98 by cul-de-sacs of excessive length. Topography at 104 makes access there impracticable. However, I would suggest looping of Victorian Drive to close back on Homestead Lane to avoid excessive lengths of cul-de-sacs. The closed loop would allow improved traffic circulation and would facilitate provision of city services at lesser time and cost. Site is zoned R-1 and will require underground waste disposal approval by health department. Provision should be made for dense screening of lots with double frontages abutting U.S. 98 and Highway 104. * Name Changed to: PLANTATION PINES 8/92 BAY BREEZE - request of Mary Hobart Key for Informal Sketch Plan Review, four lots on Buerger Lane at Battles Wharf - at this writing on 27 June 1992 no drawings have been received on this request and therefore no recommendation is provided or contemplated. MONS ESTATES - Application of Robert Mons III and Anthony K. Wisely for Preliminary and Final Approval of three lots near the southwest corner of Riverpark Road and Clay City Road (County Road 33). Lots abut an existing county road and are one acre, or more, in area. One lot previously conveyed by metes and bounds to Wisely is included. Preliminary and Final Approval is recommended subject to all endorsements appearing on Plat. General Commentary_ I request that the Commission call a public hearing for the August meeting to consider the following: Revision of the R3pgh Patio Garden Homes provision of the Zoning Ordinance as per enclosed draft Determine that the area Zoned R-3 on the south side of the easterly extension of Edwards Avenue which was formerly designated Phase II of the Homestead P.U.D. is appropriate for special zoning to permit Patio Garden Homes per revised Section 7.5 of the Zoning Ordinance, such designation to be concurrent with adoption of such revision. I have available for study draft revisions proposed for the R5th Townhome provision and for the Planned Unit Development Provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. There is no urgency for consideration of those revisions, but I 088-18 This Rev: 10/24/92 12 10/26-29/92 12/1/92 would request that the Commissioners study same for future deliberation. I will supply copies upon your request. I also have in my possession the lot layout for the R3p9h area mentioned above.
