Board approves reduced side setbacks for Rich Family Plaza replat; developer to pave alley and treat stormwater
Summary
The Horton City Board approved a special exception to reduce internal side setbacks for the Rich Family Plaza replat, while the developer agreed to pave a rear alley and provide stormwater treatment for the lots; one member recorded an abstention.
The Horton City Board on Sept. 2 approved a special exception reducing internal side setbacks for the Rich Family Plaza replat and recorded that the developer will pave the rear alley and provide stormwater treatment across the lots.
Planning staff described the request as a revision to a replat approved earlier in the year; market conditions and site-plan adjustments prompted the developer to seek a 5-foot side setback rather than the 7 feet previously shown. Staff said the 25-foot corner-lot setback would remain unchanged.
A project representative told the board the change will permit houses to face the road with garages and driveways located at the rear, improving the street appearance. The representative added that the developer will pave the back alley and provide stormwater treatment on all lots, improving existing conditions where those improvements are not present today.
A board member noted a conflict and said they would abstain from the vote; the transcript records an abstention during the vote and otherwise shows the motion carrying. The board did not record additional conditions in the transcript beyond the setback change and the site improvements described by the developer.
