DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: April 20, 2016
LAND USE NUMBER: LUA16-000272, SHPL-A, MOD
PROJECT NAME: Valley Vue Short Plat
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting approval of a 2-lot short plat and a street
modification. The site is 100,188 square feet (2.3 acres) and is located at 3106 and 3112 Talbot Rd S (APN: 302305-
9028), adjacent to Winsper Division No. 1 subdivision. The property is in the Residential-8 (R-8) zoning district. There are
two (2) single family residences (3106 and 3112) located on this parcel that gain access to the site from Talbot Road S.
The proposed short plat would subdivide the parcel into two (2) residential lots, leaving both existing houses
undisturbed, and one (1) Native Growth Protection Tract (Tract A). The two proposed residential lots are 41,970 SF (Lot
1) and 40,200 SF (Lot 2) with an average lot size of 41,085 SF. The residential density is 0.96 dwelling units per net acre.
Access to the new residential lots is proposed via a 16-foot wide driveway from S 32nd Pl through Winsper Division No. 1
Subdivision (Tract H) via the 24-foot wide dedicated ingress/egress easement area. There are 142 significant trees on the
site and the applicant is proposing to retain all of the original trees. The eastern portion of the site is comprised of
established forest with a Category III wetland that extends off-site to the east and south. No impacts to critical areas
onsite are proposed. The application is also requesting a street modification from the required half-street frontage
improvements along S 32nd Pl, along the access tracts, to maintain the existing improvement condition of the
neighborhood. The applicant has submitted a Critical Areas Study and a Geotechnical Engineering Study with the
application.
PROJECT LOCATION: 3601 and 3112 Talbot Rd S
