Applicant T.E. Woods Construction, is requesting "exceptions" for certain yard setbacks to be approved via ordinance in the Final Development Plan for Gatewoods.Phase I1. Due to the subdivision being zoned "Planned Development ", the Commission and the Board have the power to allow exceptions to the zoning code if it can be determined that these exceptions do not sacrifice the intent of the Planned Development. Exceptions have already been approved for the Gatewoods Planned Development in Ordinance 2002 -68 regarding lot widths on particular lots. The exceptions granted for this request would be similar in nature to the previous exceptions granted, but for setback provisions as opposed to lot widths. Specifically, Brent explained that Lots 16, 26, and 36 needed to have exceptions in terms of setbacks as follows: • Lot 16: The example "footprint" plot plan submitted by the applicant for Lot 11 indicates an encroachment of three (3) feet. • Lot 26: The example "footprint" plot plan submitted by the applicant for Lot 26 indicates an encroachment of five feet five inches (5' 5 ") and eight feet two inches (8' 2 "). • Lot 36: The example "footprint" plot plan submitted by the applicant for Lot 36 indicates an encroachment of thirteen (13) feet. Brent was asked how this was to be structured in terms of an ordinance and enforcement. Brent indicated that a new ordinance would be written which would attach the "footprint" plot plans and the setbacks cannot exceed the illustration presented. The next discussion regarded amending the approved development in terms of "House Types ". Due to Gatewoods being a "Planned Development ", all house plans must be approved by Ordinance. Ordinance 2005 -33 is the presiding ordinance over this aspect of the Planned Development. The applicant is requesting that four (4) new house plans are approved for the development. These four (4) new plans are the "Pinehurst ", "Magnolia ", "Siena ", and the "Dogwood ". Brent stated that these are basically replacements for four plans that were approved previously.
