driveway up to the property line and they were advised they would need to apply for a building
permit. The applicant poured the driveway without a permit and was brought before the Code
Enforcement Board. That Board recommended the only way the applicant could avoid a fine
would be to secure a variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment. The applicant came in to
fill out the variance request but did not want to pay the $1,500 required to process the variance
request. Staff recommended denial of the request.

said they would take care of it.

Prairie Lake PUD - Project #LS-02-003. (Community Development Director Wagner)
Community Development Director Wagner gave the staff report for both of the Prairie Lake
PUD items. Prairie Lake PUD is located on both sides of Clarke Road, between AD Mims Road
and Hackney Prairie Road. It includes tracts for commercial development and tracts for
multifamily development at varying densities, as well as a fire station. The Prairie Lake Reserve
Preliminary Subdivision Plan includes Tract D of the Prairie Lake PUD (18.36 acres) as well as
an additional adjacent tract of land (20.69 acres). The Prairie Lake PUD Land Use Plan is being
amended to include the additional 20.69 acre tract, so the entire Prairie Lake Reserve subdivision
will be part of the PUD. Since it is part of the original Prairie Lake PUD, Tract 'D' is vested
from concurrency issues. However, since it was not part of the original Prairie Lake PUD, Tract
'K' is not vested from concurrency issues.
The Prairie Lake PUD allows multifamily or townhome units to be built on Tract 'D'. This
amendment will also allow multifamily or townhome units to be built on Tract 'K'. However,
since Tract 'K' still has a Low Density Residential Future Land Use designation, the net density
ofthe townhomes that will be built on Tract 'K' must be no more than 4 dwelling units per acre.
Mr. Wagner said the Development Review Committee had recommended approval subject to
the Additional Condition of Approval No.6 on Sheet 2 of the Prairie Lake PUD Land Use Plan
being modified to be consistent with Condition of Approval No. 64 on the Prairie Lake Reserve
Preliminary Subdivision Plan. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval.
Staff recommended adoption of Ordinance No. 2003-62 approving the proposed Prairie Lake
PUD Land Use Plan Amendment, date stamped received by the city on November 3, 2003,
subject to making the change to Additional Condition of Approval No.6 as described on sheet 2
of the Land Use Plan, and also subject to execution and approval of an amended Development
Agreement. He added that for the PUD, Tract F, and in the Preliminary Subdivision Plan, Parcel
2, (which is the lake and conservation area around Prairie Lake) is part of the perimeter pathway
preservation area being assembled and should be dedicated to the City for a pathway and passive
open space area.
