Board approves Salt Pine amendment reducing density and granting side-setback exception
Summary
The Horton City Board amended a development order for Salt Pine Subdivision to convert a previously approved 100-unit townhouse plan into 80 single-family homes and granted a side-setback special exception reducing side setbacks from seven feet to five feet.
The Horton City Board on Sept. 2 approved an amendment to the Salt Pine Subdivision development order, reducing the previously approved 100 townhouses to 80 single-family homes and granting a special exception to reduce side setbacks from 7 feet to 5 feet.
Project representative Duran Bridge explained the change reduces density and impervious area: "This is gonna go to a single family house that will have a total of 10 foot separation if you grant them what we're asking for today, which is 5 foot setbacks, on each house. So 10 foot between where, previously, there was no separation because they're all townhomes." Bridge noted the reduction in units and that the number of units inside the city limits would move from 16 to 12.
A staff member confirmed the request is a reduction in density and noted the developer’s comparative site plan showed fewer units and less impervious cover than the previously approved plan. The board amended the development order to allow the special exception and approved the change; a motion to amend the setbacks and development order passed on a voice vote.
The action authorizes the developer to proceed under the revised site plan and shall be reflected in the development order and subsequent permit applications. The board did not record additional conditions in the transcript beyond the setback amendment.
