Vote for passage: Second consideration Vote for passage Date published i i R e, iv City of Iowa Cite MEMORANDUM Date: February 7, 1985 To: City Council From: Marianne Milkman, Associate Planner {� Re: Melrose Lake Area Rezoning Request The Melrose Lake Community Association has requested rezoning of approxi- mately 21 acres in the Melrose Lake area from RM -12 and RM -44 to RS -8 or alternate zoning. The staff report divides this area into three tracts for analysis. At the public hearing on January 29, 1985, there were a number of questions regarding the number of dwelling units permitted, existing, and proposed on tract B (Melrose Lake Apartments). Additional information on this tract is provided below. Tract B Information Size of tract: Current zoning: Total permitted units: 1. Approved LSRD 1975 7.4 acres (includes lake) RM -12 119 Total units = 60 in three buildings One building of 30 units constructed 2. Amended approved LSRD 1983 Total units = 67 Two buildings with 18 and 19 units respectively in addition to the existing 30 unit building 3. Proposed amended LSRD 1984 Total units = 68 Two buildings with 19 units each in addition to the existing 30 unit building During review of the proposed amended LSRD it was determined that the Department of Water, Air & Waste Management (DWAWM) had to approve any construction plans because of the dam at the east end at the lake. The DWAWM has determined that only one of the proposed buildings can be constructed (provided it is raised above the level of the dam). The attached plan indicates the portion of the dam which DWAWM considers undevelopable. The land available for a second building is reduced by almost one-half to approximately 0.4 acres, although the dam area can be used for parking. An 18 unit building could probably be con- structed on the developable site but at considerably higher cost than the building proposed on the existing LSRD. asp Page 2 4. Potential RS -8 Zoning If the whole of Tract B is rezoned to RS -8, the existing 30 unit apartment building would become nonconforming. Approximately two acres of the tract would have to remain zoned RM -12 in order to retain the existing building as conforming. The information below applies to the remaining 5.4 acres if zoned RS -8. Maximum permitted single family units = 47 Maximum permitted duplex units = 54 If this portion of the tract is rezoned to RS -8, it will need to be subdivided into lots. Assuming that the lake is retained, the lot size and yard requirements of this zone would only permit approximate- ly three single family or six duplex units to be constructed on the east end of the tract and possibly six single family or up to eight duplex units on the north side of the lake. That is a maximum of approximately 14 units which might be constructed on the tract. In addition, with RS -8 zoning, Woodside Drive would have to become a public street since lots are not permitted to front on a private drive in an RS -8 zone. City standards would require that since Woodside Drive is a cul-de-sac, it could only be 900 feet in length from its intersection with Oakcrest Drive. A turn -around would be required approximately half way along Woodside Drive in the Melrose Lake Apartment area. 5. Potential PDH -8 Zoning If the applicant requested planneddevelopment housing for the remainder of Tract B, with RS -8 zoning, the tract would still need to be subdivided. The maximum number of units permitted would remain at 54 (as for duplexes in an RS -8 zone). However, the applicant could come in with a plan similar to the existing LSRD for multi -family units. Such a plan would be subject to review by the Planning and Zoning Commission and would also be subject to a public hearing. If a planned development housing plan is submitted, Woodside Drive could remain as a private drive. In addition, the existing building could be included as part of the PDH plan. Procedures for further action on rezoning request The Planning & Zoning Commission denied the request to rezone Tracts A and B from RM -12 to RS -8 and to rezone Tract C from W4-44 to RS -8 or RNC -20. If Council wishes to rezone one or more of the Tracts to RS -8 or RNC -20 for Tract C, a consultation with the Planning and Zoning Commission will be necessary. If the Council decides to rezone one or more of the tracts to a zone other than RS -8 for tracts A and B, and RS -8 or RNC -20 for Tract C, the rezoning request should be referred back to the Planning and Zoning Commission for action. bc4 a5a MELROSE LAKE APARTMENTS 1934 LSRD AMENDMENT - ORDINANCE NO. g5_3224 AN ORDINANCE VACATING THE ALLEY ABUTTING THE NORTH LINE OF BLOCK 4, LYON'S FIRST ADDITION.
