*4 - There are currently 26 lots within the subdivision that fall below the minimum 8,000<br />

square foot area. Of these 26 lots, there are only 10 lots that are below 7,500 square feet.<br />

The nature <strong>of</strong> the street layout within this sustainable community creates lots with<br />

exciting shapes, unlike standard cookie-cutter rectangular box-shaped lots.<br />

*5-There is a variable front setback throughout the subdivision. The bulk <strong>of</strong> the lots<br />

within this sustainable community have a front setback, as depicted on the Concept Plan,<br />

in excess <strong>of</strong> the 25 foot minimum. This provides a more inviting pedestrian experience<br />

within the neighborhood.<br />

*6-The minimum side setback for lots that abut Westpointe Drive shall be 15 feet on<br />

the side that abuts Westpointe Drive. Otherwise, an exception to the required side<br />

setback for comer lots is being requested.<br />

*7-The minimum lot width at a 25-foot front setback is 15 feet. However, this is an<br />

unusual circumstance for "flag lots" located in the cul-de-sac. The minimum lot width <strong>of</strong><br />

59 feet occurs at the front setback that is established and shown on the Concept Plan.<br />

The nature <strong>of</strong> the street layout within this sustainable community creates lots with<br />

unusual shapes, unlike standard rectangular box -shaped lots, that, while not meeting<br />

minimum area and width requirements, provide greater diversity within the community.<br />

The lots that are located at the end <strong>of</strong> the cul-de-sac that appear flag-like are set in a more<br />

secluded area with terrific views to adjacent open space. Those lots have widths <strong>of</strong> 59 to<br />

65 feet at the meandering setback with the narrowest portion being 15-feet wide for<br />

driveway access. The percentage <strong>of</strong> varying lot widths will be kept the same as shown on<br />

the concept plan.<br />

*8 -If the largest building footprint is placed on the smallest lot, the resulting building<br />

coverage is 43.1 %.<br />

ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS<br />

The following additional development standards are in accordance with Zoning<br />

Ordinance No. 2007-80 and were previously established for this tract.<br />

to Hunters Creek Subdivision by means <strong>of</strong> the street known as Hunters Ridge.<br />

2. Height Restriction - Homes constructed on lots 29 thru 42 and 52 thru 66 shall be<br />

a maximum <strong>of</strong> one story and shall comply with the masonry requirements per<br />

3. Masonry requirements- Exterior walls <strong>of</strong> homes constructed on lots 29 thru 42<br />

and 52 thru 66 that are most closely adjacent to the Hunters Creek Subdivision<br />

shall be constructed with masonry siding composed <strong>of</strong> brick, rock or stucco<br />

covering the back and side exterior walls <strong>of</strong> such homes.
