Appeal, BALSM PUD, southwest of Donald and west of Fox Hollow Road - Submitted by '. Paul E. Lawrence, 5426 Donald Street, and three other residents of the area, appealing the decision of the Planning Commission on October 24, 1972 granting final.approval of BALSM PUD Phase I for 42 dwelling units on about seven acres. The final approval was granted on the following conditions: 1. Entrance roads must be 28 feet wide to the first intersection. 2. Paving petitions, dedications, and necessary slope easements as may be required by the City and/or County must be submitted prior to application for the building permit. 3. Private street signs at entrance drives will be installed by the City, but paid for by the developer. 4. A preliminary subdivision plat necessary for condominiums must be approved by the Planning Commission prior to issuance of any building permits, but the filing of the final plat may be deferred until founda- tions are actually located. 5. All Uniform Building Code Chapter 70 earthwork must be done concurrently for Phases I and II along Donald Street and Fox Hollow Road - at least to the south extremity of Phase I (south of the Fox Hollow entry). Phase II . building construction may be deferred but the Fox Hollow entrance must be installed with curbs, gutters, and paving. 6. .Prior to issuance of any building permits, the applicant must submit and the Planning department and City Attorney approve a Homeowner's Association agreement assuring permanent maintenance of all on-site"streets, semi- private (group) open space and recreation facilities, and building ex- terior appearance. Ralph Aldave, 4150 Pe~rl Street, attorney representing appellants in both instances, said the burden of meeting the criteria. required by the ordinance should lie with those seeking the permits. Evidence in establishing that these criteria have been met, he said, should be competent and in such detail and of such quality to establish that the development will not cause congestion and that there are facilities to serve it. He maintained that evidence has been rath.er sketchy on these points. With regard to the 1990 Plan, Mr. Aldave claimed the developments do not meet the Plan's requirements for compact urban growth and sequential development, saying there is similar land within the City which has not been developed. These, he said, being at the extreme fringe of the City will not have police and fire protection to any extent. Neither do the developments meet the 1990 Plan concepts in that public funds will have to be spent '..' to provide utilities. Hesa~d EWEB plans to spend $141,000 during 1973 to provide services to Southridge. Mr. Aldave said the least expensive unit in the projects will rent for -. about $170 so that the 1990 Plan provision for increased low- to.moderate~income housing is not being met. Also, if the development is permitted it is taking priority over any study of the south hills area and will conflict with goals of preserving the scenic hill- side areas. The type of dwellings proposed - apartments in seven-story buildings - will be incompatible with that area. 33lo 11/27/72 - 2
