ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
Anthem 35 Addition is a portion of the Villages at Lewisville planned development which was intended to create a more urban density mixed-use development. The planned development allows this area to be a combination of townhomes and multi-family for a total of 700 dwelling units. The developer has worked with the city to reduce the density of the southern tract within the planned development to 250 units and only provide townhomes; however, to make townhomes work on the property, the developer is requesting six variances; a) to allow a 42-foot radius at cul-de-sac right-of-way; b) to allow a 45-foot public street right-of-way; c) to allow a 24-foot modified alley section with 24-foot right-of-way to allow for emergency access; d) to allow a water line under pavement: e) to allow reduced lot width and reduced control of access for single-family lots; and f) to allow clear vision areas based on AASHTO standards. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended unanimous approval (6-0) on July 2, 2019.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the preliminary plat and six associated variances as set forth in the caption above.
