RE: Request, dated November 3, 2010, for variation from the approved application plan for ZMA
2004 -0014: Briarwood
Dear Mr. Matusik:
The referenced variation is being requested in association with Briarwood Site Plan Amendment
(SDP2010- 0084), Revised Phase Line Exhibit #1, prepared by The Engineering Groupe, dated September
2010.
The variation request, dated November 3, 2010 and attached to this letter, is for a variation to the phase
lines depicted in approved ZMA 2004 -14. Included in the variation request and also attached is the
"Revised Phase Lines - Exhibit 1" which is a comparison of the approved phase lines with the proposed
revised phase lines.
As you develop the Briarwood subdivision with final lot layout and engineering, you determined that the
phase lines need to be revised. This variation request is for revision of the phase lines to accommodate
your desired lot layout and the construction of utilities to service the lots in each phase. The variation
request does not change the number of townhouses and single family detached and attached units in each
phase that was previously approved with ZMA 2004 -14, nor does it change the overall total number of
units and type of units as described in proffer #9.
After review of this request, we agree that the phase line plan is revised in order to accommodate
development processing with no changes to the number of units and types.
The analysis of the variation request is provided below.
Section 8.5.5.3 allows the director of planning to grant minor variations from the approved application
plan as long as:
1) The variation is consistent with the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan.
The variation is consistent with the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan.
Interconnections, a mix of housing types, buildings that are close to the street and open space will
remain.
2) The variation does not increase the approved development density or intensity of
development.
The variation will not increase the approved density or intensity of development. The residential
units and density within this development remain within the approved lot mix from ZMA 2004-
014.
3) The variation does not adversely affect the timing and phasing of development of any other
development in the zoning district.
The variation does not affect any timing or phasing of this or any other development.
4) The variation does not require a special use permit.
The variation does not require a special use permit.
5) The variation is in general accord with the purpose and intent of the approved rezoning
application.
