Planning commission approves Lakeside Flat preliminary plat with buffer, sound‑wall and fire‑turn stipulations
Loading...
Summary
The commission approved Ed Green’s Lakeside Flat preliminary plat (approx. 12.336 acres at 2815 South 2000 West) requiring a continuous six‑foot precast concrete privacy fence between residential and commercial lots, an eight‑foot sound wall on the West Davis Corridor, and maintained fire turnaround/access.
The Syracuse Planning Commission on Dec. 16 approved the preliminary plat for Lakeside Flat, a proposed residential subdivision south of Westlake Landing, with explicit stipulations on buffering and fire access.
Planning staff described the plat as meeting zoning requirements and recommended an approval that clarifies buffering between the residential lots and adjacent commercial parcels. Staff said the commercial developer on the neighboring Westlake Landing side intends to install a six‑foot precast concrete privacy fence; staff asked the commission to require a single six‑foot precast fence along the shared boundary so neighboring properties do not construct conflicting fences. The plan also includes an eight‑foot sound wall next to the West Davis Corridor.
Applicant Eric Craythorn (representing owner Ned Green) said he expects coordination with Westlake Landing on timing and connectivity, and he confirmed the developer would work to provide the required buffering and internal road connections. Commissioners raised sight‑triangle and front‑yard fence concerns for Lot 10 and asked that proper frontage orientation and buffering be confirmed during site‑plan review. Multiple members requested notation on the plat to preserve fire department turnaround(s) on Lots 15 and 16 or to ensure an alternative turnaround if the adjacent commercial development proceeds first.
Commissioner (speaker 3) moved to approve the preliminary plat for Lakeside Flat (approx. 12.336 acres in R‑3) with the stipulation that a six‑foot precast concrete fence be provided between the residential plat and the commercial property, that an eight‑foot sound wall be installed along the corridor, and that fire turnaround/access be maintained or provided as required; the motion carried by voice vote.
The approvals require the plat annotation and subsequent site‑plan work to resolve front‑yard fence placement and final fire‑turn arrangements before building permits are issued.
