Consider preliminary site plan approval for Bristol Village a 19 multi-family townhome unit development at 1910, 1940 and 1950 S 200 West, Taylor Spendlove representing Brighton  Spratley voting aye and Sean Monson abstained.  Development Utah LLC, applicant.  Taylor Spendlove was present. Chad Wilkinson presented the staff report.  The 1.18 acre property is located within the RM-19 zoning district. Surrounding uses include a mix of single family and multifamily uses to the north, multifamily residential use to the west and south and The development is located on three existing parcels one of which is vacant. The other parcels are currently developed with single family homes which would be removed before construction. Prior to issuance of building permits, these parcels will need to be consolidated to avoid structures crossing property lines. The applicant has indicated a desire to record a Townhome PUD plat to allow for individual ownership of the units in the future. The Code allows for this on existing projects, sO the applicant will need to first begin construction of the units and then apply for PUD plat approval after the The development is similar to the project recently constructed by Brighton Development on Pages Lane. Access to the project will be via a single 24 foot wide driveway on 200 West. The proposed development meets the minimum parking standards based on the unit mix and has provided one covered parking space for each unit as required by ordinance. Each of the units will have a two-car garage, a majority of which will be accomplished via tandem parking spaces (one parking space behind the other). This is allowed in townhome style developments provided both spaces are assigned to the same unit. Guest parking is proposed to be provided within the individual driveways of the units. While this technically meets the Code, there is some concern that garages will be used for storage and that the overall number of spaces will be reduced, pushing guest parking into the adjacent street. Because of the narrowness of the access driveway, parking will not be allowed on the interior access lane. The Commission may wish to consider a condition requiring on-site guest spaces not located in driveways.  single family residential to the east.  units exist.  Bountiful City Planning Commission Minutes - August 1, 2017  Page Iof3    The proposed structures are three stories and are less than the 35 foot maximum height for buildings in the RM-19 zone. The buildings meet minimum setback requirements for the zone. The applicant proposes a mix of cultured stone and fiber cement siding. The units are slightly staggered along the front façade to provide some relief. Each of the units has a covered entry or balcony on the front of the building. The landscape plan shows fenced private recreational space for each unit. The units fronting on 200 West have been designed with entries facing the street. It is recommended that this design be enhanced by the addition of a sidewalk connection to 200 West connecting the entry to the unit. The proposed buildings show private outdoor space in the form of fenced areas at the rear of the units as required by Code. The proposed elevations appear to limit the amount of siding materials to 50 percent The submitted landscape plan exceeds the minimum 40 percent landscaping required by Code. A final landscape and irrigation plan meeting the requirements of Chapter 16 of the Land Use Ordinance and prepared by a licensed landscape architect will bei required prior tol building permit issuance. Storm water will be collected in a detention facility at the northeast of the property and then connected to an existing storm drain in 200 West. Water and sewer plans have been reviewed by the City Engineer with minor redlines to the location oft the onsite hydrant. Sewer and water service to the project will be via existing lines in 200 West which will require resurfacing oft the road after construction.

Commission members and Staff discussed the concern for the parking challenges for guests.

Paul Rowland presented the staffi report.  Each addition to the City's cemetery requires the preparation of a subdivision plat map, review by the Planning Commission and the City Council, and then recording of the plat with the Bountiful City Recorder, all before any new burial plots can be sold. The next plat is now ready for review and The roads for this addition were constructed in 2015 and the sprinkling system was installed and the grass allowed to grow through 2016. The landscaping has now grown to the point that these plots are now ready for sale and use. Additionally, the inventory of available plots in the rest of the cemetery has shrunk to the point that we need to move forward with opening this expansion. Plat Q contains 283 full sized lots, with each full lot containing eight individual 4 ft. by 8 ft. burial plots, and 21 partial lots. Partial lots, which contain between 1 and 7 plots, are caused when roads or other interferences cut Statfrecommended that the Planning Commission send a favorable recommendation for preliminary and Commission Members and Staff discussed the options for the East Cemetery property with alternative Richard Higginson made ai motion that thel Planning Commission pass ai recommendation for approval to the City Council for the preliminary and final plat approval of the Bountiful City Cemetery Plat Q.
