CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - OAK PARK LANE
PLANNING COMMISSION
REPORT NO: CUP87 -12
Planning Commission Report -,
JUNE 18, 1987
PURPOSE: To review and recommend action on an
application for a Conditional Use Permit to construct
townhomes in a PUD.
BACKGROUND:
Name of Applicant: Mark Eklo
Address of Property: Oak Park Lane
Present Zoning: R -2
Nature of Request: Ordinance requires a
Conditional Use Permit for construction over
$75,000.
Reason for Request: To construct 7 or 8
townhomes
The applicant is proposing to build 7 or 8 owner
occupied townhomes. Townhomes are a permitted use in
an R -2 District. 525.13 states that a Conditional Use
Permit is required for new construction or for the
enlargement, remodeling or repair of the exterior of
any existing building including structures accessory
thereto, at a cost of at least $75,000 except one
through four family structures.
The subject site is located off Oak Park Lane between
Tyler and Van Buren. Access to the site will be from
Oak Park Lane. The site is surrounded by single
family, duplex and multiple family residential units.
The applicant has submitted two plans, one with eight
units and the second with 7 units. These two plans
were submitted because fire access to the site is a
problem. The Fire Marshal reviewed the plans and
required the applicant to do the following:
a) two fire hydrants
b) a turn -a -round for the fire trucks
e) either a 29 foot road or a 25 foot road with
no parking

The applicant submitted a second plan with a turn-a-
round and only seven units. The Fire Marshal reviewed
the plan and determined that a fire truck could not
turn around in the space provided. The Fire Marshal
recommended that either an easement be obtained or the
units be split to allow a turn -a -round in the middle of
the site.
The Fire Marshal also noted that if he could obtain
permission to use the new fire code book that has not
been adopted as of yet, the applicant could then
sprinkle the buildings. If the buildings are
sprinkled, a turn -a -round will not be required.

All the units will be two story - two bedroom units
with approximately 1,632 square feet.
The Comprehensive Plan has designated this area R -1-
A,B.
The applicant is required to have 12 trees. The
landscape plan submitted fulfills this requirement.
The applicant has designed the townhomes with the idea
that at some future date a road could be extended to
the south. Jackson Avenue to the west was done in this
manner.
In order to have the sites front yard on the east side
of the property the applicant will have to dedicate the
road on the east side of the property.

Drainage will flow in a southerly direotion. The
Director of Engineering has reviewed the plan and found
it acceptable.
All the units will have a double stall garage, this
will fulfill the parking requirements.
The exterior of the townhomes will be either vinyl or
masonite siding. The townhomes will be gray with white
trim and a reddish brick. The roofs will be black.
The townhomes will have rear walkouts to a sodded rear
yard. All the townhomes will have fireplaces and
decks.
The units will be staggerd both in elevation and
horizontally to prevent a row -type appearance.
The applicant has stated he plans to subdivide the
property after the townhomes are built. At this time
the Ordinance does not allow zero lot lines. The new
ordinance will allow the applicant to divide. At this
point this development is a P.U.D.
As of the writing of this report the applicant does not
know how he will satisfy the Fire Marshals
requirements. The end site plan may be entirely
different than the two plans submitted by the
applicant. The Commission could approve the CUP
contingent on the Fire Marshal's approval but this may
require substantial changes to the plan that has been
submitted. Another alternative would be to approve the
plan with the condition that the final plan be
submitted to the City Council, but again the Commission
could be recommending a plan they have not seen.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the Conditional Use Permit
2. Deny the Conditional Use Permit
3. Continue for further information
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend continuing until a site
plan is prepared by the applicant which addresses the
Fire Marshals concern on fire access.
Respectfully submitted,
