| Resolution 2016-24 - authorizes revisions to the OSRD Development Plan for the Morgan Farms Subdivision. The project is located on the south side of Split Log Road, adjacent to the Taramore Subdivision |
| Background |
The attached resolution authorizes changes to the previously approved OSRD Development Plan for the Morgan Farms subdivision. The proposed changes include a request to reduce the width of a portion of the arterial road buffer along McEwen Drive and several modifications to the amenity center for the project, which is currently under construction.
The plan proposes a reduction in the width of a short portion of the arterial road buffer along north side of McEwen Drive reducing its width from 150 feet to 128 feet along the southerly boundary of Lot 209. The lot is located in the southeastern portion of the project. The width of the buffer is shown as being 128 feet at the southwest corner of the lot and tapers back to 150 feet at approximately 204 feet down the property line.. The reduction is permitted, with Planning Commission approval, by Section 78-184(b)1 of the Code. The topography in the area is sufficient to allow for the reduction, as the subdivision is being developed above the future road.
As a result of the proposed revisions, the amount of excess open space for the project is reduced a total of 0.11 acres or 4,791.60 square feet. Please note that the number of lots within the subdivision remains unchanged.
The project calculations are summarized in the following table.

The proposed improvements at the amenity area include the following:
- The manicured grass pedestrian trail as originally approved meandered through the gas line easement, but has been revised and reconfigured as a result of the review comments received from Columbia Gulf staff. The width of the trail has been reduced from eight feet wide to six feet wide.
- Minor hardscape and landscape revisions are proposed at the amenity area. The fence along the pool will be relocated to allow for additional landscaping.
- The landscaping has been shifted to allow for more natural spacing. Additional landscaping including more evergreen species has been added to better screen the area.
- The walkway from the chapel area to the bathrooms has been adjusted to allow for additional landscape area.
- The pool deck has been modified to allow for an additional landscape buffer area between the clubhouse and pool.
- Relocation of the kiddie pool and reduction in its area from 214 square feet to 154 square feet.
- An increase in the area of the main pool from 1,606 square feet to 1,612 square feet.
Because the proposal decreases the amount of excess open space, and modifies the previously approved improvements within the open space, approval of the revised development plan by the Board of Commissioners is required, per the requirements of Section 78-185(b)2 of the Municipal Code.
At its April 6, 2016 regular meeting, the Planning Commission voted to approved unanimously, nine for and zero against (9-0) to approved the proposed revised preliminary plan. Also as part of the review, the Planning Commission again voted unanimously to forward a recommendation of approval of the corresponding changes to the OSRD Development Plan to the Board of Commissioners.
