Monclova Township Zoning Resolution Monclova Township Contemporary Land Use Plan 2009 Lucas County Subdivision Rules and Regulations Lucas County Land Use Policy Plan (within the “expansion zone”)
STAFF ANALYSIS The request is a Zone Change from A/R Agricultural/Residential to R-A PUD Suburban Residential for the 17.36-Acre property located at 7228 Monclova Road. The applicant is requesting the PUD in order to construct a thirty-nine (39) unit residential subdivision. The surrounding land uses include single family residential to the north and east, single family residential and agriculture uses to the west, and attached two-family villas to the south. A companion Preliminary Drawing accompanies this case. PROPOSED LAYOUT & DENSITY
The applicants proposed plan indicated that a public roadway would be dedicated from Monclova Road that will terminate at a cul-de-sac to the north. The applicant has accounted for stub streets to both the east and west. The stub street to the east will connect to Evergreen Abbey, a ninety (90) unit planned single-family residential subdivision that is currently constructing phase (plat) 1 of a proposed three (3) phase platted development on approximately forty-five (45) acre site.
Pursuant to the Monclova Township Zoning Resolution, PUDs require no minimum lot size, lot-width, building or structure setbacks. However, in accordance with the Monclova Township Zoning Resolution Sec. 11.5(B)(1), the maximum number of units permitted on the parcel under an R-A P.U.D. is 2.9 units per acre, the P.U.D. as submitted is 2.25 units per acre. The maximum number of dwelling units permitted in the Planned Unit Development shall be calculated by dividing the net residential acreage by the minimum lot area per dwelling unit. For purposes of the calculation, net residential acreage equals 80% of the gross parcel acreage, and gross parcel acreage as the total parcel area excluding existing public rights-of-way and floodplain.
REF: Z17-C355. . . June 28, 2017
1 - 3
STAFF ANALYSIS (cont’d) PROPOSED LAYOUT & DENSITY (cont’d) The zoning resolution states that the parking requirement is two (2) spaces per dwelling unit. The applicant has indicated that four (4) spaces will be provided by individual driveways (large enough to accommodate 2 cars) and two (2) car garages for each villa.
PUD & OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS
The Monclova Township zoning resolution states that no less than fifteen percent (15%) percent of the gross site acreage shall be allocated to usable, accessible and consolidated common open space when developing a PUD. The intent is that meaningful, functional areas are created for residents and the community. The plan indicates that consolidated open space is 5.51 acres or 31.7% of the total project. However, based on the consolidated open space plan submitted with this application, the majority of the open space provided is located behind each lot. Although 31.7% useable open space is strongly encouraged as part of the PUD review, no functional areas appear to have been created for the residents and the community, such as bike path or walking trails. The property is uniquely located where it can take advantage of such amenities such as multi-purpose trails which are connected to local parks.
A PUD is also require to adhere to the requirement that no more than forty percent (40%) percent of the gross site acreage is covered by buildings, structures, street pavement, driveway, and parking area pavement. The coverage of buildings, pavement, and other impervious surfaces shall not exceed 40% of the gross site acreage as part of a PUD. The coverage for the project indicated on the Preliminary Drawing is thirty-four (34%) percent, which meets zoning requirements.
The North Fork Branch of the Wabash Cannonball multi-purpose trail is located 800 feet south of Monclova Road and runs east-west from Jerome Road to Oak Openings Metropark. The applicant has indicated that open spaces totaling 31.7% of the total site have been dedicated to usable, accessible and consolidated common open space. Specific amenities for the dedicated open space areas were not noted on the PUD plan. Staff encourages the applicant to provide pathways that will offer residents a defined route that connects to this multi-purpose trail while providing additional compliance with the Monclova Township Zoning Resolution. Staff feels that without defined common amenities in these areas, the open space will become extensions of backyards.
Pursuant to Section 11.5(B)(4) - when a residential area of a Planned Unit Development
abuts an “A” or “R” District, an open space perimeter area shall be provided that has a minimum depth of equal to the required rear yard setback. This open space shall be void of buildings, structures, parking areas, or other above-ground improvements except fencing shall be maintained along all perimeter property lines of the Planned Unit Development. The applicant has maintained an open space of twenty-five feet (25’) as required.

STAFF ANALYSIS (cont’d)
MONCLOVA ROAD OVERLAY & LANDSCAPING The property is located within the Eastern Section of the Monclova Road Overlay District which extends along the entire southern frontage to a depth of 600 feet. Although the residential lots will not front directly on Monclova Road, they are part of the comprehensive PUD and therefore determined to be subject to the overlay standards. The Eastern Section of the Monclova Road Overlay was established to allow for harmonious development of both residential and commercial properties along Monclova Road. Present developments have largely defined this section with predominant residential uses on the west and commercial on the east. Compliance with the overlay is designed to allow for effective assimilation of new uses into this developed area as well as to provide for mixed uses. Pursuant to the Monclova Road Overlay Sec. 5.2 of the Zoning Resolution, the setback requirement from the centerline along Monclova Road is 100 feet. In addition to the setback requirement, a minimum twenty-five (25’) landscape buffer shall be provided along Monclova Road frontage and located outside of the right-of-way. Off-street parking shall not be located within the landscape area. Although the Zoning Resolution states that single-family residential properties are exempt from the front yard landscape area requirement, staff has found that this is a comprehensive PUD and therefore subject to the landscaping standard. The General and Specific Landscaping Requirements for the Monclova Road Overlay can be found in Section 5.2 of the Zoning Resolution. The Monclova Township Zoning Resolution requires all PUD applications include a landscape plan for review. However, a landscape plan was not provided for the project at this time. Specifically, staff recommends that the provided “open space” along Monclova Road be abundantly landscaped with a combination of evergreens, shade trees and shrubs. In addition, staff encourages that perimeter landscaping be provided to buffer this subdivision from the single family uses situated on large acreage lots to the east, west and north. The applicant has a history of providing trees and shrubs in the front of each villa as part of the development process. Finally, street trees are required as part of the platting process and will be required in the right-of-way. LAND USE PLAN The 2009 Monclova Township Contemporary Land Use Plan provides a number of guiding principles for development. The plan encourages all development to be part of a PUD because it offers more flexibility to the developer and greater control over design and quality of life for the township. The plan also stresses the importance of protecting the rural nature of the township by promoting lower density development.

STAFF ANALYSIS (cont’d) LAND USE PLAN (cont’d)
Based on the property’s location in conjunction to other contiguous R-A and R-A PUD Suburban Residential Zoning in the immediate area, staff recommends approval of this Zone Change from A/R Agriculture/Residential to R-A Suburban Residential with a PUD. Additionally, staff recommends approval due to previous Plan Commission approval of similar projects in the immediate area and its consistency with the 2009 Monclova Township Contemporary Land Use Plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends that the Lucas County Planning Commission recommend approval of Z17-C355, a Zone Change from A/R Agricultural/Residential to R-A PUD Suburban Residential for the 17.36-Acre property located at 7228 Monclova Road, to the Monclova Township Zoning Commission and Township Trustees, for the following three (3) reasons:
1. The request is compatible with the surrounding residential uses and zoning; and 2. The request is compatible with the density of nearby development in terms of density and
the Monclova Township Contemporary Land Use Plan; and
3. The PUD meets or exceeds the requirements of the Monclova Township Zoning Resolution;
The staff further recommends that the Lucas County Planning Commission approve of Z17-C355, a Zone Change from A/R Agricultural/Residential to R-A PUD Suburban Residential for the 17.36-Acre property located at 7228 Monclova Road, to the Monclova Township Zoning Commission and Township Trustees, subject to the following fifty-eight (58) conditions:

STAFF RECOMMENDATION (cont’d)
Lucas County Engineer (cont’d) 29. The storm sewer mains are shown near or outside of the right of way to meet the Ohio
EPA requirement of 10 foot of separation from the water lines. Where the storm sewer is located outside of the right of way a drainage & utility easement shall be provided and the typical Toledo Edison & Utility easement shall be located adjacent to this easement.
30. The 20 inch ANR Gas Line is shown on the drawing extending across the Monclova Rd.
frontage to the east and should be shown within the existing easement labeled on the plan. The developer should coordinate with the pipe line company to determine the exact location, depth, and any building setbacks or design requirements when constructing near the pipeline. The proposed subdivision signs appear to be in the easement.
31. A drainage study and design calculations shall be submitted to the County Engineer prior
to development of final plans. The study shall evaluate and address the following:
a) Our records indicate there is an existing ditch running east-west close to the northerly property line at the northeast corner of this property. The ditch then extends westerly and eventually to a culvert at Coder Rd. The proposed Stormwater Detention Area to the west appears to be located over the ditch from our records. The existence and exact location of the ditch will need to be verified. If the ditch does exist, the Stormwater detention areas may need to be relocated and an easement shall be provided along the ditch for future maintenance.
b) Storm water detention will be required to limit peak drainage discharges to existing natural undeveloped conditions. Our drainage records show the intent for about half of the property draining to Monclova Rd. and about half draining to the ditch at the northerly end of the site. The amount of flow permitted to the outlets will be based on the contributing drainage area in existing conditions and the design capacity of the outlets. The existing 24” storm sewer along the north side of Monclova Road should be shown on the plan and may be used as a drainage outlet.
c) The storm water detention area should be constructed on a separate, non-buildable lot. Plat recitations and deed covenants will be required to address ownership and maintenance of detention area, and to prohibit filling, alteration and obstruction of the area.
d) Access will need to be provided to the storm water detention areas for future overall maintenance and water quality structure maintenance. The detention areas should be setback a minimum of 20 feet from property lines to provide future maintenance access around the pond and to provide a setback to the adjacent properties.

STAFF ANALYSIS The request is a Preliminary Drawing for WILLIAMS WAY located north of Monclova Road & east of Coder Road. The subdivision contains thirty-nine (39) lots located on 17.36 acres of land. The property currently is zoned A/R Agricultural / Residential. The surrounding land uses include single family residential to the north and east, single family residential and agriculture uses to the west, and attached two-family villas to the south. A companion zone change accompanies this case.
DENSITY
The thirty-nine (39) lot project is located on 17.36 acres of land and has a density of 2.25
lots per acre. An R-A PUD would allow a maximum density of 2.90 lots per acre. The proposed densities are also similar to nearby developments, including Evergreen Abbey directly to the east and Blackstone to the south.
PROPOSED LAYOUT
The subdivision will be accessed primarily from Monclova Road to the south. Williams
Way will be developed with a cul-de-sac at the end of the public road with sixty feet (60’) of right-of-way and twenty-seven feet (27’) of pavement being maintained throughout the development. The average lot is approximately 7,500 square feet in size with an average frontage of 70 feet along the proposed public roadway. According to the Preliminary Drawing the total site cover will be thirty-four (34%) percent. The Lucas County Subdivision Rules and Regulations, Sec. 507.f, requires that any subdivisions with adjacent undeveloped land create stub streets to connect future development. The applicant has provided stub street connections to both the east and west. Currently a ninety (90) unit single-family subdivision, Evergreen Abbey, is under construction to the east. Evergreen Abbey accounted for connectivity when planned and provided a connection for further development on the subject site. The proposed cul-de-sac and east-west secondary connector roads are compliant with the subdivision regulations which restrict the maximum length to 1,000 feet without a connector road. This secondary connection shall remain open to two-way traffic and will not be restricted. A recitation shall be recorded on the Final Plat to satisfy this requirement. In addition, the Lucas County Subdivision Regulations require sidewalks to be constructed on both sides of all streets in the subdivision and along the north side of Monclova Road.

STAFF ANALYSIS (cont’d) OPEN SPACE & COVERAGE
Pursuant to the Monclova Township Zoning Resolution, the coverage of buildings, pavement, and other impervious surfaces shall not exceed forty (40%) percent of the gross site acreage as part of a PUD. The coverage for the project indicated on the Preliminary Plat Plan is thirty-four (34%) percent, which meets zoning requirements. Monclova Township also requires at least fifteen (15%) percent of total gross acreage be set aside for consolidated common open space. The intent is that meaningful, functional areas are created for residents and the community. The plan indicates that consolidated open space is 5.51 acres or 31.7% of the total project. However, based on the consolidated open space plan submitted with this application, the majority of the open space provided is noted as open space located behind each lot. Although 31.7% useable open space is strongly encouraged as part of the PUD review, no functional areas appear to have been created for the residents and the community, such as bike path or walking trails.
The North Fork Branch of the Wabash Cannonball multi-purpose trail is located 800 feet
south of Monclova Road and runs east-west from Jerome Road to Oak Openings Metropark. Staff recommends that the applicant provide pathways that will offer residents a defined route that connects to this multi-purpose trail while providing additional compliance with the Monclova Township Zoning Resolution. Staff feels that without defined common amenities in these areas, the open space will become extensions of backyards. LAND USE PLAN The 2009 Monclova Township Contemporary Land Use Plan provides a number of guiding principles for development. The plan encourages all development to be part of a PUD because it offers more flexibility to the developer and greater control over design and quality of life for the township. The plan also stresses the importance of protecting the rural nature of the township by promoting lower density development.
Based on the property’s location in conjunction to other similar projects in the immediate area and its consistency with the 2009 Monclova Township Contemporary Land Use Plan, staff recommends approval of the thirty-nine (39) lot Preliminary Drawing. STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Request - Amendments to the Sylvania Township Zoning Resolution Regarding Modifications to Articles 2206 for Architectural Projections
Location - Sylvania Township Applicant - Sylvania Township Zoning Commission
STAFF ANALYSIS The Sylvania Township Zoning Commission has requested an amendment to Section 2206 of the Sylvania Township Zoning Resolution. The nature of the amendment is to clarify some ambiguity in the current section regarding window wells, chimneys and other similar elements. The township proposal and recommended text is included in Exhibit “A”. 2206 Architectural Projections
Sylvania Township has found that the current Section 2206 of the Zoning Resolution lists
items such as a porch, deck, canopy, cantilever, bay window, balcony, platform, carport or a covered patio that are attached to the main structure as architectural projections that are expressly prohibited from projecting into the required minimum setbacks as-of-right. The Township acknowledged a list of items that includes cornices, eaves, sills, window wells or other similar architectural features (not including vertical projections) that are acceptable to extend into the side yard setback two (2”) inches for each one (1’) foot of side yard width and into the front or rear setbacks not more than three (3’) feet.
In addition, Sylvania Township has requested that chimneys be permitted to extend into
any of the minimum setbacks not more than two (2’) feet and basement egress window wells not more than three (3’) feet. All standards that are proposed as part of this amendment are currently being used by neighboring townships with no adverse impacts on neighboring properties. As a result, staff does not object to the proposed amendments as shown in Exhibit “A”.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Lucas County Planning Commission, recommend approval of the proposed amendments, as shown in Exhibit “A” to the Sylvania Township Zoning Commission and Trustees.

Request - Amendments to the Sylvania Township Zoning Resolution Regarding Modifications to Articles 1600, 1700 & 2204 for Daycares & Kennels
Location - Sylvania Township Applicant - Sylvania Township Zoning Commission
STAFF ANALYSIS The Sylvania Township Zoning Commission has requested an amendment to Articles 1600, 1700 & 2204 of the Sylvania Township Zoning Resolution. The nature of the amendments is to allow daycare facilities as-of-right and kennels subject to conditional use approval in the M-1 Light Industrial & M-2 Restricted Zoning Districts. 1601 & 1701 Permitted Uses
Daycare facilities are currently being permitted in M-1 and M-2 districts as an accessory use. There has been a growing interest in locating principal use adult or child daycare facilities in these less intense industrially-zoned centers in Sylvania Township. By permitting daycares in these less intense industrially-zoned centers a daycare could provide a service to working individuals that would prefer an adult or child daycare to be located in the area of their employment. This would permit them to visit during lunch hours, reduce time off work in the event of an emergency and reduce commute time after work. The M-1 & M-2 Zoning Districts do not allow for industrial uses that would typically be identified as a health or safety risk to adults or children at these facilities. Staff was able to identify daycares as permitted or conditional uses in the less intense industrial districts of other townships in Lucas County. As a result, staff does not object to the proposed amendments as shown in Exhibit “A”. 1602, 1702 & 2204 Conditional Uses & Animal Care Facility, Private Kennel
There has also been a growing interest in locating kennels or “doggie-daycare” businesses in M-1 and M-2 industrial locations within the Township. Based on a more intense impact due to noise, odors, etc. on neighboring uses, the Township feels that this use should be allowed only after a review by the Plan Commission, and review and approval of a Conditional Use by the Sylvania Township Board of Zoning Appeals. Staff was again able to identify kennels as permitted or conditional uses in the less intense industrial districts of the other townships in Lucas County. Although, kennels can be more intense than other permitted uses allowed in the M-1 & M-2 Zoning District, staff has no evidence that kennels in industrial districts have imposed any negative secondary impacts on neighboring properties. As a result, staff does not object to the proposed amendments as shown in Exhibit “A”.

(Companion Case)
Applicable Plans and Regulations Sylvania Township Zoning Resolution Sylvania Township Land Use Plan 2007 Lucas County Subdivision Rules and Regulations Lucas County Land Use Policy Plan (within the “expansion zone”)
STAFF ANALYSIS The request is a Zone Change from A-4 Rural Residential to R-3 Residential PUD for the properties located at 2854 N McCord & 2903 Wilford Road. The applicant has indicated that R-3 PUD zoning is required in order to construct forty-six (46) rental villa units on the 6.76 acre site. The applicant worked with staff to amend the application to a PUD to insure that a site is developed with a defined use and a reduced density to a level that is consistent with surrounding development, Sylvania Township Land Use Plan and Zoning Resolution. Surrounding land uses include single family residential & medical office uses to the north, single family & duplex residential uses to the south, single family & multi-family residential to the east and single family residential to the west. A companion Preliminary Drawing accompanies this case. PROPOSED LAYOUT The site plan depicts access to the site via gated driveway connections from both McCord Road and Wilford Drive. The development is being designed as high-end rental villas for working professionals. The applicant originally submitted a proposal for this site that contained fifty (50) units throughout twelve (12) buildings. The applicant amended the PUD application to reduce the residential density to a level that was consistent with the PUD section of the Sylvania Township Zoning Resolution. The revised plan includes eleven (11) buildings each containing four (4) units and one (1) building with two (2) units. Each dwelling will contain its own attached garage. In addition, the applicant is providing an accessory storage garage and a fifteen (15) space visitor parking area near the center of the development. Furthermore, the Sylvania Township Zoning Manager noted that sidewalks are required along both the McCord and Wilford Drive frontages and is strongly encouraged throughout the interior of the site.

STAFF ANALYSIS (cont’d) PUD & OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS Although the PUD does not offer the traditional amenities of most PUD’s such as a walking path or large recreational lawn areas, the applicant is proposing an accessory garage and consolidated open spaces around the perimeter. The site was not designed originally as a PUD and the width of the site is not conducive to providing common amenities. Staff suggested that the applicant consider a PUD in order to limit the use and density. Without the PUD designation a density of 10.88 units per acre or seventy-three (73) units would be allowed on this 6.76 acre site in addition to the assortment of uses permitted in the R-3 district. The PUD section of the Sylvania Township Zoning Resolution indicates that no less than fifteen percent (15%) of the gross site acreage, none of which is part of any yard or perimeter open space, shall be allocated to usable, accessible and consolidated common open space. The applicant has indicated that 15.5% will be dedicated to usable, accessible and consolidated common open space. In addition, no more than forty percent (40%) of the gross site acreage shall be devoted to coverage by buildings, structures, street pavement, driveway, and parking area pavement. The provided plan indicates that 43.8% of the site shall be covered by buildings, structures, street pavement, driveway, and parking area pavement. The applicant has requested that the coverage allotment of the gross site acreage be waived to allow for the additional 3.8% of coverage.
Pursuant to Section 2203(D) - when a residential area of a Planned Unit Development abuts a “C” or and “I” District, a forty foot (40’) wide yard area shall be provided for the perimeter parcels, all other setbacks are subject to the underlying zoning standard. In the R-3 District, the rear yard setback requirement is thirty (30’) feet. Any deviation from the underlying zoning district criteria must be specifically approved by the Board of Township Trustees. This open space shall be void of buildings, structures, parking areas, or other above-ground improvements that shall be maintained indefinitely. The northern setback abutting the medical office use and the southern setback (2854 N McCord property) provides a twenty (20’) foot rear yard. The applicant has requested that the setbacks be waived to permit a twenty (20’) foot rear yard as shown. Staff requests that a solid fence be installed along the northern and southern property lines.
The maximum dwelling height in an R-3 PUD is forty-five (45’) feet. Building height is defined as the vertical distance measured from the adjoining curb grade to the highest point of the roof mean height level between eaves and ridge for gable, hip, or gambrel roof. Although color renderings were provided that indicates a single story villa design height details were not provided. Staff does not anticipate the overall height to exceed forty-five (45’) feet therefore compliance with the maximum height allowed as defined in Section 2202(E) of the zoning resolution is anticipated.

STAFF ANALYSIS (cont’d) LANDSCAPING The Sylvania Township Zoning Resolution does not provide landscaping standards for residential developments. However the zoning resolution does indicate that a PUD shall be sensitive to the natural landscape and existing environmental features of Sylvania Township. The applicant did not submit a landscape plan for this project. The color renderings indicate that the front of each villa will be generously landscaped with a combination of trees, shrubs and bushes. Staff recommends that the divided island located at the main entrance from McCord be designed to accommodate landscaping and solid fencing and landscaping be provided along both the northern and southern rear property lines. All improvements shall be submitted on a landscape plan prior to any Township hearings. NEIGHBORING CHARACTERISTICS The surrounding area contains zoning and developments that are consistent with the applicant’s request. Two (2) contiguous developments located directly to the south are zoned R-3 and R-2 PUD. The R-3 zoned site (Carrie Commons) located at 2840 McCord Road was approved in 2001 and built with ten (10) units on 1.98 acres. In 2003, an undeveloped parcel (directly west of the subject property and across McCord) was granted R-3 zoning approval for the construction of condominiums. Carrietowne East was approved in 1988 as an R-2 PUD and contains eighty (80) units on 17.7 acres. The density of each development is 5.05 and 4.52 units per acre respectively. Both developments are denoted for suburban residential uses in the 2007 Sylvania Township Land Use Plan. Derby Village Townhomes are located directly east of subject property across Wilford Drive. This development was approved for R-3 zoning in 2000 and has eighty-six (86) units on 7.06 total acres. Although this site is contiguous to the subject property it is also denoted as Urban Residential in the Sylvania Township Land Use Plan. The Urban Residential designation supports R-3 zoning at densities exceeding six (6) units per acre. DENSITY & LAND USE PLAN
In accordance with the Sylvania Township Zoning Resolution, the maximum units permitted under a PUD are calculated by dividing the gross acreage (parcel acreage less public right-of-way) by the minimum lot area per family. Furthermore, the zoning resolution identifies the maximum density of an R-3 PUD as seven (7) units per acre.

STAFF ANALYSIS (cont’d)
DENSITY & LAND USE PLAN (cont’d)
The 2007 Sylvania Township Land Use Plan recommends this area for Suburban Residential uses, while identifying corresponding residential zoning districts of A-4, R-A, R-1, and R-2. Prior to the 2007 plan update, the 1997 Sylvania Township Land Use Plan identified this entire neighborhood (excluding the commercial development along Central Avenue) for medium density residential uses, which listed R-3 zoning as a corresponding zoning districts. Although the 2007 Land Use Plan no longer identifies this area for R-3 zoning districts, staff has found that with the addition of a PUD, this project would be ensuring that the density of this site remain at a level that is compatible with neighboring development in the area.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed R-3 PUD based on its consistency with the surrounding zoning, uses and densities. By adding a PUD to the application, the use and density is controlled and is unable to be modified without additional Trustee approval which would be subject to the approval of a development plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Lucas County Planning Commission recommend approval of Z20-C991 & Z20-C992, a Zone Change request from A-4 Rural Residential to R-3 Residential PUD for property located at 2854 N McCord & 2903 Wilford Road, to the Sylvania Township Zoning Commission and Trustees for the following three (3) reasons:
1. A Zone Change to R-3 PUD would be compatible with the surrounding residential uses in
terms of density and zoning; and 2. A Zone Change to R-3 PUD is an appropriate transition between single family and two-
family residential developments to the south, east and west and the commercial uses to the north; and
3. A Zone Change to R-3 PUD is anticipated to have minimal adverse impacts on
surrounding properties.
The staff further recommends that the Lucas County Planning Commission approve of Z20-C991 & Z20-C992, a Zone Change request from A-4 Rural Residential to R-3 Residential PUD for property located at 2854 N McCord & 2903 Wilford Road, to the Sylvania Township Zoning Commission and Trustees, subject to the following fifty-four (54) conditions:

STAFF ANALYSIS The request is a Preliminary Drawing for Adirondack Village Villas for the properties located at 2854 N McCord & 2903 Wilford Road. The applicant has indicated that R-3 PUD zoning is required in order to construct forty-six (46) rental villa units on the single 6.76 acre site. The submittal was amended to a PUD in order to insure that a site is developed with a defined use and a reduced density to a level that is consistent with surrounding development, Sylvania Township Land Use Plan and Zoning Resolution. Surrounding land uses include single family residential & medical office uses to the north, single family & duplex residential uses to the south, single family & multi-family residential to the east and single family residential to the west. DENSITY
The forty-six (46) rental villa project is located on a single 6.76 acre parcel and has a density of 6.8 units per acre. An R-3 PUD would allow a maximum density of seven (7) units per acre. The proposed densities are also similar to nearby developments, including Carrie Commons and Carrietowne East directly to the south and Derby Village Townhomes to the east.
PROPOSED LAYOUT The site plan depicts access to the site by means of gated driveway connections from both McCord Road and Wilford Drive. The road will be constructed as a private drive that will be approximately twenty (20’) in width. The Sylvania Township Zoning Manager has noted that sidewalks are required along both the McCord and Wilford Drive frontages and are strongly encouraged throughout the interior of the site. The Lucas County Subdivision Regulations also requires sidewalks to be constructed along the McCord and Wilford Drive frontages.
REF: S-8-17. . . June 28, 2017

STAFF ANALYSIS (cont’d) PROPOSED LAYOUT (cont’d) The Lucas County Subdivision Rules and Regulations, Sec. 507.f, requires that any subdivisions with adjacent undeveloped land create stub streets to connect future development. When developed in 1988, Carrietowne East installed the stub street of Page Lindsay directly south of this site for access and future connectivity to this undeveloped site. The applicant met with staff to discuss the connectivity requirement and based on the gated nature of this project the stub street requirement is requesting to be waived. Requiring connectivity to this stub street would require a redesign of the project while providing a logistical issue with the gated community and the maintenance of the roadways for Township workers. The applicant is also proposing to use twenty (20’) foot wide private drives throughout the development while public roadway standards are twenty-four (24’) foot wide, including Page Lindsay. The applicant has asserted that additional roadway and sidewalk standards would further reduce an already limited site in terms of width. The PUD section of the Sylvania Township Zoning Resolution indicates that no less than fifteen percent (15%) of the gross site acreage, none of which is part of any yard or perimeter open space, shall be allocated to usable, accessible and consolidated common open space. The applicant has indicated that 15.5% will be dedicated to usable, accessible and consolidated common open space. In addition, no more than forty percent (40%) of the gross site acreage shall be devoted to coverage by buildings, structures, street pavement, driveway, and parking area pavement. The plan indicates that 43.8% of the site shall be covered by buildings, structures, street pavement, driveway, and parking area pavement. The applicant has requested that the coverage allotment of the gross site acreage be waived to allow for the additional 3.8% of coverage. LAND USE PLAN The 2007 Sylvania Township Land Use Plan recommends this area for Suburban Residential uses, while identifying the corresponding residential zoning districts of A-4, R-A, R-1, and R-2 to the Suburban Residential designation. Prior to the plan update, the 1997 Sylvania Township Land Use Plan identified this entire neighborhood (excluding the commercial development along Central Avenue) for medium density residential uses, which listed R-3 zoning as a corresponding zoning districts. Although the 2007 Land Use Plan no longer identifies this area for R-3 zoning districts, staff has found that with the addition of a PUD, this project would be ensuring that the density of this site remain at a level that is compatible with neighboring development in the area.
Based on the property’s location in conjunction to other similar surrounding zoning, uses and densities, staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Drawing for Adirondack Village Villas, a forty-six (46) rental villa unit development.

46. Per Lucas County Subdivision Rules and Regulations Sec. 507.f, any subdivisions with adjacent undeveloped land create stub streets to connect future development. Carrietowne East has installed the stub street of Page Lindsay directly south of this site for access and future connectivity. The applicant has requested that connectivity to this stub street be waived. In the event this provision is not waived by the Sylvania Township Trustees, the site shall be redesigned to provide connectivity to Page Lindsey and shall remain open to two-way traffic and not be restricted in any way.
47. Per Lucas County Subdivision Regulations Sec. 518.a & Sylvania Township Board of Trustees Resolution 16-096, sidewalks shall be constructed along both the McCord Road and Wilford Road frontages.
48. Prior to the granting of any zoning permits, the Planned Unit Developments shall be
platted in accordance with applicable subdivision rules and regulations. 49. If construction of any phase of the approved Planned Unit Development begins within
three (3) years after approval is granted, the approval shall be valid until the development is completed. If no construction has begun within three (3) years after the approval is granted, the Planned Unit Development shall be void and the land shall revert to the district regulations in which it is located.
