The subject property is located in the R-i-8 Residential Single Family Zoning District. Ken Gerschler, Community Planner, Presented the Planing Department Staff Report. The applicants have asked to temporarily position a mobile home on their property that would assist in the care of an elderly parent with medical needs.

The applicants have met all the requirements for this Conditional Use Permit.

The subject property is located in an R-3, Residential Multiple Family Zoning District. Ken Gerschler, Community Planner, presented the Planning Department Staff Report. The applicant, Dallas Page is proposing the subdivision of a 0.26 acre parcel into four parcels. The parcels would take their access from Shadow Way, a private roadway off of Freeman Road. The minimum lot size for Pad Lot Subdivisions for the parent lot is 6,000, which as been met. There will have to be some road widening to handle new lot access to Freeman Road and the applicant has also adjusted a building foot print so that it isn't in a BCVSA easement. The applicant met with the Planning and Public Works Department in a pre- application meeting. Lee Brennan, Public Works Director, presented the Public Works Staff Report. The Public Works Departments recommended that Shadow Way be improved from a 25 foot to a 30 foot throat. The first 25-feet of this approach, shall be at a maximum grade of 3%. The Road will look like a driveway and not a regular street. The sight distance triangle for the structures will be 25 feet on Shadow Way and 350 Feet on Freeman Road, which will require a tree to be removed. The Public Works Department would also recommend adding 10 feet for a PLTE behind the Right of Way on the Freeman Road side, and adding a street light on the site to illuminate the driveway entrance off of Freeman Road. The Applicant Dallas Page, 900 Windemar Drive, Ashland OR, stated he did not agree with all of the recommendations. He stated that he did not believe he should have to add a street light, make engineered plans, pay for the cost of improving Freeman Road right now, do an Ciry of Central Point Plaruiing Commission Minutes December 7, 1999 Page 3 additional flood study or storm drainage plan, add sidewalks on the north side, and be responsible for talking to the property owners to the south and cutting down anything that exists in the sight distance triangle. He acquired that many of the recommended conditions have been addressed as part of the Cedar Shadows PUD. Lee Brennan addressed Mr. Page stating that the improvements for Freeman Road could be deferred until the construction plans are ready for that street, the street light could also be deferred as well, as long as there is enough temporary lighting available. The state requires engineered plans for the new lots and street grade and the applicant will have to do them in order to proceed. There is no requirement for sidewalks on the north side of the street, and an additional flood study and storm drainage plan would not have to be done if the proposed development does not have an adverse affect on the existing storm drainage plan. Council Member Bob Gilkey, spoke about the sidewalk requirements and the Sight Vision Triangle problems. Jim May, Engineer for BCVSA, spoke about the problems with the original building plans and the sanitary sewer easement. Commissioner Johnson made a motion to approve Resolution 470 conditionally approving the Tentative Plan for the subdivision, at 475 Freeman Road, subdividing the R-3 property into a 4 parcel "padlot"subdivision. The approval is contingent upon the recommended conditions of approval, with changes discussed at the meeting and the Planning and Public Works Staff Reports. The Conditions of approval per the discussions are: I.) The Sight Distance Triangle be approved by the Public Works Department 2.) Sidewalks only be installed on the South side of Shadow Way 3.) Improvements on Freeman Road will be deferred until Freeman Road is expanded, and the City Attorney will determine whether or not the cost of upgrading Freeman Road can be passed on to lots within the Cedar Shadows P.U.D. as well 4.) The Street Light can be deferred until Freeman Road is improved, if there is enough temporary light to light the entrance on Shadow Way 5.) The applicant submits plans to BCVSA showing the movement of the building out of the easement. Commissioner Fish seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: motion passed unanimously. C.
