STAFF REPORT
•' Planning & Zoning, Commission
August 23, 1973
SUBJECT: S-7302 and 5-7311. Braverman
West Large -Scale Residential
Development Plan and Planned
Area Development Preliminary
Plans.
STAFF Previous Staff Reports have
ANALYSIS: considered background material
pertaining to this particular'
development site. This Staff'
Reportwilldeal with the latest submission of July 3, 1973.
1. The street pattern as shown is substantially better than
the previously' approved Planned Area,, Development street
scheme; however, the Staff believes that the two north -
south atreets or drives will function essentially as
collector streets and'should be classified as such. Per-
pendicular parking directly off of these two streets should
not be, allowed' because of„.the safety considerations 'ofsa
combination'ofi'22' wide streets of a collector''function with
parking movements. Based upon their function as collector
streets, these two streets should' be considered for public
ownership'rather'than private drives. Considering the
size of the development only one collector street would
be needed to serve this particular:35.7 acres. This would
necessitate some redesign of the street layout to accommodate
a singular; collector street running through the development.
Private loop drives and private cul-de-sacs could then be
laid out ,from this singular collector street.
The particular design for the island on the eastern collector
type street should be redesigned to eliminate the conflicting
traffic movements associated with that particular design.
2. There should be some provision shown on this preliminary
plat for either sidewalks along theproposedstreet'system
or through the open space areas. The current plat 'shows
no sidewalk system whatsoever.
3. The juxtaposition of, several of the housing units with
respect to other units, open space, and areas excluded from
the development would provide some conflict in the provision
of open space amenities for many of these units. Some housing
units could be resited to take advantage of the vistas and
to provide better parking arrangements.
4. The northwest corner of the development has been excluded
• from this particular,PAD/LSRD while still being retained
under common ownership. There is a cul-de-sac which would
provide access on the south to this excluded area. The

eluded tract since the cul-de-sac could provide access
and this could have a direct bearing on the design of that
cul-de-sac and street layout.
5. Some type of street lighting; system 6hould be provided for
the layout.
6. Certain of thecul-de-sacs could be redesigned to provide
better trafficmovement while' minimizing conflict with
parking. Since the cul-de-sacs might be in private
ownership, they could be designed as parking areas with
straight rows of parking and a, central circulation system
as opposed to the radial parking around the periphery of
a circular cul-de-sac. The ends of'the `row parking areas
_do not provide any type of turn around or back out provision
for the automobiles parked at the ends of these particular
roads. While this is a design detail, some consideration
of this problem should be shown on the preliminary: plan
to indicate that a satisfactory solution can be made'.
7. There may be other factors associated with the site design
that would result from the content of the final policy
statement on PRIVATE DRIVES IN LARGE-SCALE RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENTS.'
