Item No. 4 PC: 7-2-87 SU-87-20 Page 4 STAFF ANALYSIS BACKGROUND: Two previous subdivision applications have been submitted pre- viously on the project site: Major Subdivision Application SU-86-11 and Minor Subdivision Application No. MS-87-27. SU-86-11 , an eight-lot subdivision, proposed access via a private road and net lot acreages of less than 65,000 square feet. SU-86-11 was denied by the Planning Commission on July 17, 1986 (copy of meeting minutes attached) . Although the applicant appealed the Planning Commission's action, he subsequently withdrew SU-86-11 after County Counsel advised the Board of Supervisors that it did not have the discretion to approve the subdivision with lots fronting on a private road. MS-87-27, a two-lot subdivision, proposed the use of an on-site pond for storm drainage. The Planning Commission denied MS-87-27 on January 22, 1987, because the subdivision did not include a terminal storm drainage system. POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: Zoning: Building setbacks for the RR zone were amended recently by Text Amendment No. TA-87-5, as follows: • Front yard: 30 feet. ° Side yard: 15 feet . ° Rear yard: 30 feet . The subdivision design allows for development in compliance with the above-noted setback restrictions. Development of Lot 7 will be somewhat constrained by its relatively long width and short depth. For cul-de-sac lots, the RR zone requires a minimum lot width of 100 feet . The lot width is measured at the front yard set- back point. A 50-foot front yard requirement was in effect at the time the application was deemed complete. On Lots 4 and 5, the lot width at the 50-foot setback point is 95 feet. The side property line running along the east side of each lot must be rotated eastward in order to provide the required 100-foot lot width., Lot 6 will maintain an adequate lot width and area after the 'lot line adjustments. -wq•a
