This development is located north of Sinclair Street between Oakmont Avenue and Augusta Circle. A plat was approved in 2014 that was designed for twin homes. Twin homes are homes on fairly small lots with a common wall along a common lot line.  After conversations with both realtors and residents, the applicant decided that small single family detached homes were preferred. 

The existing zoning, R-4, Multi-Family Residential District, requires a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet for lots containing detached single family homes. The previously approved twin home plat had lot sizes around 3,555 square feet. The average lot size in this proposed PUD District is 4,899 Square Feet. Therefore, the PUD District will allow lots smaller than the R-4 District allows but lots larger than the previously approved twin home plat.

In the PUD District the yard setbacks of the underlying zone district, the R-4 District, are retained. The other zoning standards are set by the approval of the PUD Ordinance that accompanies the plat. In the proposed Ordinance the applicant has stated the lot coverage of 50% and a maximum building height of 35 feet will remain as they are in the R-4 District. Permitted uses will be limited to residential structures.

The maximum building footprint of homes in this district will be limited to 2,980 Square Feet. However, several other factors will affect the design of these homes. All corner lots will be required to locate driveways a minimum of 40 feet away from the intersection. The applicant has stated that they have designed homes to suite the lot design.

Tract A will be designated as a 20 feet wide Drainage Easement. Tract B will be utilized as a 26 feet wide Temporary Emergency Access Easement. This Emergency Access Easement was platted as part of the Tenth Hole Estates Phase 1 subdivision.

Lots in Block Two and Block Three of this subdivision will have access off of Saint Andrews Lane, which will be a 60 feet wide right-of-way that will be created as part of this plat. All City utility services are readily available to the site. Since this subdivision was originally planned to have a larger number of lots, this Planned Unit Development will not place an additional burden on infrastructure or City services. It will also be compatible with the general character of the surrounding area.
