Public meeting to review a site plan application that would allow the construction of a mired use development on two vacant parcels of land located at the intersection of Fourth and Oak Streets in a HM12, High Mix Residential zoning district. The property is identified in the records of the Jackson County Assessor as 37 2W 02CC, tax Lots ')400 and 9500. Ken Gerschler, Community Planner and Tom Humphrey, Planning Director, presented the Planning Department staff report. The development will be the first of the Mixed Use idea for Central Point. The new TOD zoning which was adopted in January allows for this kind of use. The Four Oaks development will have 3 separate buildings. All three buildings have the ability to have bottom floor commercial with residential above. Two ofthe buildings will be dedicated to bottom floor commercial from the beginning, with the third building, located along Fourth Street, being constructed for alive/work combination. 24 of srieet parking spaces are provided for the development which is adequate for the development. The applicants will also be utilizing the 80 foot wide right of way on Oak Street to provide public parking. Alleyway improvements will have to be completed in order to handle the traffic associated with the development. A Local hnprovement District will have to be made in order for the improvements to be constructed. The alley way direction will also have to be changed in order to allow for the building along Fourth Street to be located so close to the property line. An unique style of lighting will have to worked out with Staff for the development. Herb Farber, Agentfor the Applicant, stated thatthe development will be ajoiut venture with the Orr's, Farber's, and W.L. Moore. "fhe actual spelling of the development will be Four Oaks Centre (intentionally spelled as "centre"). They applicants would like the change the Public Works Staff Report on page 7, Under Water System item 2. Each unit or building shall be served by a separate water meter. This will be done because they don't know how the water system will work for each building yet. Each building will be on a separate tax lot and be stand alone once the lot line adjustment is made. Mr. Gerschler stated he would like to add a fifth item to the conditions of approval addressing the cross access agreement being part of the for mentioned lot-line adjustment. Commissioner Riggs made a motion to adopt Resolution Number 517, approving the Site Plan subject to the recommended conditions of approval. Commissioner Lunte seconded the motion. ROLL CALL,: Motion passed unanimously. C. Request to amend conditions of the Planning Commission approval for New Haven Estates Subdivision. Specifically to reconsider the creation of a 10,000 square foot lot "buffer zone" along the north side of Rabun Way. The subject property is located in the R-1-8, Residential Single family zoning district. CII}° ofC'entral Poirtt Planning Convnissian r~linulcs Alrrn L 2/101 Page 3 Tom Humplu•ey, Planning Director, presented the findings. The approval of the New I Iaven Estates subdivision was also part of a zone change for that area. The area was changed from R-1-10 to R-1-8. The lots along the Northerly side of Rabun Way were to be 10,000 square feet buffer lots. These lots were intended to buffer the Urban Residential uses in the City from the Rural Residential uses in the County. When the surveyor, I Icrb Farber, surveyed the property it was shown that the property lice was actually further north than the adjoining property owners thought. "fhe fence was off in some places by as much as 15 feet. The adjoining property owners have claimed adverse possession of the ]and since the fence has been there for such a long time. The property line dispute involves 11 of the 18 lots along Rabun Way. If they tried to get this resolved in court they could not get the final plat on the lots. The applicants would like relief from the 10,000 square foot requirement. All of the lots still meet the current zoning requirements and all will be larger than the minimum 8,000 square foot minimum. Mr. Herb Farber, Agent for the Applicant, stated he believes the error in the fence has occurred for quite some time and that he believes the fencing was atone time part of a larger faun and included gates to adjoining properties. Not having the 10,000 square foot requirement will not affect the building footprints at all. They will still negotiate with the property owners to try to resolve the problems. Mr. Gerschler defined the meaning of adverse possession and told the Commission that if the dispute is not worked out the adjoining property owners will receive two tax bills. Commissioner Fish made a recommendation to the City Council that the developers be allowed to vary 11 lots, lots 190-201, along the Northerly side of Rabun Way, to a minimum of 8,000 square feet. Commissioner LeGros seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Recommendation passed unanimously. VII. MISCTLLANF,OUS Mr. Humphrey asked for clarification with the Malot Apartments. The developer was required to construct a 4 foot fence along the perimeter of the "tot lot". The developer has not built the fence. The Conmlission agreed the developer shall construct the fence around the perimeter of the "tot lot" prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy on the final building. VIII. ADJOURNMF,NT Commissioner Fish made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Commissioner Riggs seconded the motion. ROLI, CALL: Motion passed unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 9:20 P.M.
