*4- There are currently 26lots within the subdivision that fall below the minimum 8,000
square foot area. Of these 26 lots, there are only 10 lots that are below 7,500 square feet.
The nature of the street layout within this sustainable community creates lots with
exciting shapes, unlike standard cookie-cutter rectangular box-shaped lots.
*5- There is a variable front setback throughout the subdivision. The bulk of the lots
within this sustainable community have a front setback, as depicted on the Concept Plan,
in excess of the 25 foot minimum. This provides a more inviting pedestrian experience
within the neighborhood.
*6- The minimum side setback for lots that abut Westpointe Drive shall be 15 feet on
the side that abuts Westpointe Drive. Otherwise, an exception to the required side
setback for comer lots is being requested.
*7- The minimum lot width at a 25-foot front setback is 15 feet. However, this is an
unusual circumstance for "flag lots" located in the cul-de-sac. The minimum lot width of
59 feet occurs at the front setback that is established and shown on the Concept Plan.
The nature of the street layout within this sustainable community creates lots with
unusual shapes, unlike standard rectangular box -shaped lots, that, while not meeting
minimum area and width requirements, provide greater diversity within the community.
The lots that are located at the end of the cul-de-sac that appear flag-like are set in a more
secluded area with terrific views to adjacent open space. Those lots have widths of 59 to
65 feet at the meandering setback with the narrowest portion being 15-feet wide for
driveway access. The percentage of varying lot widths will be kept the same as shown on
the concept plan.
*8 - If the largest building footprint is placed on the smallest lot, the resulting building
coverage is 43.1 %.
