Memorandum TO: Mayor Klanderud and City Council THRU: Julie Ann Woods, Community Development Director Joyce Ohlson, Deputy Director FROM: James Lindt, Planning Technician TL" RE: Request for Council Comments Arapahoe Ridge County Referral Application DATE: November 27, 2001 Please find attached a copy of an application submitted by Arapahoe Ridge LLC. to the County Planning Staff requesting Scenic Overlay Review approval for a 12,300 square foot single-family residence to be constructed off of South Seventh Street, just outside of the city limits (Please see attachment "C" for vicinity map). The application has been referred to the City Planning Staff for comments. The subject property is a court ordered lot split that established a development right. The property is bisected by two county zone districts. Because of the dual zoning, an agreement was made between the County Attorney and the applicants that would allow them a Floor Area Ratio of 12,300 square feet if they kept 3,500 square feet of structure below the 8,040 elevation line that bisects the property, to minimize the visual impacts of the proposed structure. Please find attached draft comments formulated by staff in response to the referral. Staff thought it necessary to make Council aware that this application had been submitted for approval and that any additional concerns that Council had regarding this application be addressed in staff's comments. Please let staff know of any additional concerns or comments that Council may have regarding this application by December 14th so that the may be included in staff s referral responses.
