The applicant is proposing to subdivide this 4.61-acre tract into 5 single family residential lots at Hart Rd and Garland Rd.

The paved area of the cul-de-sac shall have a radius of not less than 40 ft per Subdivision Regulation 3.04.K.3.a. The plan is showing a 38 ft radius. A variance form has not been filled out, so a variance has not been requested. This approval is for a 40 ft radius.

The applicant may add a gazebo in the common area. It is not shown on the plan. Passive uses such as the gazebo can be reviewed and approved by the planning staff during the design plan phase.

This proposal will disturb most of the property. 30-ft non-disturbance stream buffers along both sides of the stream will be required. The recommended disturbance budget within the 1.31 acre Hillside Protection area is 0.7 acres. Some of the Hillside Protection area has been previously disturbed. The property lines adjacent to residential lots will establish a 15-ft vegetated buffer. Any existing vegetation that remains can count towards the requirement.
