Provide a copy of the existing plan(may be a reduced copy)illustrating the area for which the change is requested. Provide a
graphic representation of the requested change.
Describe the variation being sought(may attach separate sheets):
We are requesting a variation to remove B Street between Old Trail Drive and Golf Drive.
What is the reason for each of the requested variations?:
By removing B Street between Old Trail Drive and Golf Drive,we were able to provide a greater flexibility in
the layout of the roadways and parking areas along with a more effiecient use of the area in Blocks 20 and 21.
We have be able to achieve a density closer to what was envisioned for the Central Zone of Old Trail Village.
Also, by removing a segment of B Street on Blocks 20 and 21, we are able to eliminate impacts to the 100'
Stream Buffer. A portion of B Street has remained in place as Block 5 Drive which provides a vehicular
connection between Old Trail Drive and Golf Drive. This segment of B Street is connected to Old Trail
Drive via Upland Drive (E Street).

In accordance with § 8.5.5.3 c)of the Zoning Ordinance, in order to grant the variation,the Planning Director must
make positive findings under 5 criteria. Please provide information about these criteria for the Director's
consideration(may attach separate sheets).
1. Is the variation consistent with the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan?
Yes,if approved,the variation will be consistent with the goals and objectives of the comprehensive
plan.
2. Does the variation increase the approved development density or intensity of development?
No,the combined level of density proposed for Blocks 5,20 and 21 will not exceed the allowable
density for this area,as stated in the Code of Development. Combined,Blocks 5,20 and 21 will have
a density of 16 dwelling units per acre.If the density is calculated on a per block basis,each of the
three blocks exceeds the allowable density set in the Code of Development.
3. Does the variation adversely affect the timing and phasing of development of any other development in the
zoning district?
No,the proposed variation does not affect the timing and phasing of any other development.
4. Does the variation require a special use permit?
No, the proposed variation will not require a special use permit.
5. Is it in general accord with the purpose and intent of the approved rezoning application?
Yes,the proprosed variation is in general accord with the proposed purpose and intent of the
approved rezoning application.
§ 8.5.5.3 VARIATIONS FROM APPROVED PLANS, CODES, AND STANDARDS OF DEVELOPMENT

development to vary from an approved application plan, standard of development and, also, in the case of a
neighborhood model district,a general development plan or code of development,as provided herein:
a. The director is authorized to grant a variation from the following provisions of an approved plan, code or
standard:
1. Minor variations to yard requirements,maximum structure heights and minimum lot sizes;
2. Changes to the arrangement of buildings and uses shown on the plan,provided that the major elements
shown on the plan and their relationships remain the same;
3. Changes to phasing plans;
4. Minor changes to landscape or architectural standards; and

Describe the variation being sought(may attach separate sheets):
We are requesting to reclassify B Street on Block 5 and 21 as well as E Street between Blocks 5 and 20
as private streets.
What is the reason for each of the requested variations?:
The public road standards in this instance break the three blocks into fragments,which cannot be used
efficiently to achieve a density that is similar to the surrounding blocks.The grid-like street pattern with
T-intersections in lieu of a 200'centerline radius allows a greater flexibility and efficiency for building and
parking layout.This efficiency and flexibility allows for a density similar to that of the surrounding blocks
and more in line with the Old Trail Village Code of Development.
In addition,the grid-like pattern of the proposed streets is similar to the street layout of the surround
blocks.Also,the proposed private streets,Upland Drive and Block 5 Drive,will mirror the surrounding
public streets with a similar cross-section:on-street parallel parking,planting strips and sidewalks.

What type of change is requested?
❑ Variation to the Plan 40rVariation to the Code or Standard
Provide a copy of the existing plan (may be a reduced copy) illustrating the area for which the change is requested. Provide a
graphic representation of the requested change.
Describe the variation being sought(may attach separate sheets):
We are requesting that a variation be allowed for the building height for Blocks 5,20-21 to be greater than
the maximum building height specified-3.5 stories for a maximum spatial enclosure ratio of 1:2.We are
requesting that the maximum building height be equal to 4 stories,as allowed in the Old Trail Village Code
of Development in Table 6: Zoning Regulations.
What is the reason for each of the requested variations?:
The spatial enclosure ratios indicated in the Old Trail Village Code of Development were set to give the
development a proportionate sense of enclosure. However,the spatial enclosure ratio is not a universal"golden
number". Planning scholars differ on the exact ratio;the ideal range for a typical street can be defined as 1:1 to
1:4 or 1:2 to 1:4 (the ratio for Old Trail Village) or 1:1.5 to 1:3.Therefore,the ratio is merely a guide.
The spatial enclosure ratio for a 4-story apartment building on Upland Drive (between Block 5 and 20) will be
1:1.7. If we were to determine that the enclosure is defined by the street trees,the spatial enclosure ratio would
range from 1:1 to 1:2 with large canopy trees. All of these spatial enclosure ratios would be within the range
considered appropriate for streets.

Cont. from Page 1
The more intuitive measure for spatial enclosure is related to the function of the
thoroughfare(the space between the buildings)and its design. This is a contextual
relationship based upon the building height,the building scale,the variety of scale and
design,the density and floor-area ratio,architectural elements, mass and scale, relationship
to adjacent buildings and thoroughfares,orientation of the entry, climate, historical
precedent and the design of the immediate human space on the ground floor. If we consider
the examples of great streets, those great streets all work because of this contextual
relationship, not because they meet a specified ratio. This is true for the broad plaza of St.
Peter's Square at the Vatican,the narrow streets of the Shambles in York,England as well
as narrow streets of Phoenix Town in Hunan China.All of these spaces are considered
great because of the human element they bring into them—pedestrians. These are all
considered walkable spaces with the context and visual interest provided at a human scale
for the pedestrian.
One of the core concepts for the Old Trail Village is that it be a walkable community. The
idea of a walkable community has been set with the design of the spaces and architecture of
the community.The thoroughfares are designed with sidewalks, planting strips,pocket
parks and open spaces connected throughout. The architecture of the buildings is designed
with the pedestrian in mind with the scale,the details and rhythm set at the human scale.

We are requesting a variation for Sec. 14-422.A which stipulates that sidewalks should be located on both side
of the road.Specifically,we are requesting that the sidewalk be required for only for the west side of Block 5
Drive. (See Conceptual Site Layout for Old Trail Village Block 5)
What is the reason for each of the requested variations?:
We are requesting the variation for the sidewalk to reduce the impact to the 100'Stream Buffer and to
eliminate any impact to the 50'Stream Buffer located to the east of Block 5 Drive.A sidewalk on the east
side of Block 5 Drive is not needed,as there will be no development that will require a direct pedestrian
connection.The proposed mixed-use building and apartment building on the west side Block 5 will have
direct sidewalk access along Block 5 Drive and Upland Drive.Also,the sidewalks in Block 5 will connect
into the larger sidewalk network of Old Trail Village via connection on Old Trail Drive and Golf Drive.
