CITY OF DOVER City of DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE Dover Planning APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTARY Office D.A.C. MEETING DATE: June 5, 2013 APPLICATION: Nottingham Meadows: Revised Active Recreation Area FILE #: MI-13-10 REVIEWING AGENCY: City of Dover Planning CONTACT PERSON: Janelle M. Cornwell, AICP PHONE #: (302) 736-7196 PLAN SUMMARY: This Plan is for revisions to the Active Recreation Area for the Nottingham Meadows Subdivision. The Revised Active Recreation Area is to eliminate the proposed pool and clubhouse and then provide cash in-lieu payment for the Active Recreation Area. The plan also includes a Parcel Consolidation & Lot Line Adjustment Plan to expunge 105 lots and reconfigure 11 lots. The property is zoned R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) and a portion is subject to SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone) Tier 3 – Excellent Recharge Area. The subdivision is located on the south side of Hazlettville Road and west of Wyoming Mill Road. The owner of record is Siobain-VI, LLC. PROJECT SUMMARY Nottingham Meadows is a development on 88.0088 acres +/- of land. The subject property is located on the south side of Hazlettville Road and west of the Wyoming Mill Road. At the time of original development of the subdivision, the property was zoned RM-1 (Medium Density Residence Zone). The property was rezoned to R-8 (One Family Residence Zone) subject to SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone) Tier 3 – Excellent Recharge Area in May 2010 (Z-10-02). The Concept Plan for Nottingham Meadows (SB-04-01) received Planning Commission approval on January 20, 2004 and the Preliminary Subdivision Plan received conditional approval form the Planning Commission on July 19, 2004. The Record Plan for the Subdivision was approved on February 21, 2006 with a Revised Record Plan approved on March 8, 2006, and Final Construction Plans were approved on February 21, 2006. The development, as approved, consisted of 211 single family detached homes. The initial phases of construction and home building focused on the northern portion of the subdivision along the streets of Derbyshire Court, Saxondale Lane, Gillbrook Lane, Beuvale Lane and Brittingham Drive. There have been 68 houses constructed within the subdivision.

MI-13-10 Nottingham Meadows: Parcel Consolidation, Minor Lot Line Adjustment and Revised Active Recreation Area DAC Report for June 5, 2013 Page 2 of 10 PROJECT PROPOSAL This Application consists of two parts: a Revised Active Recreation Area Plan and a Minor Lot Line Adjustment Plan and Parcel Consolidation Plan. The proposed Parcel Consolidation and Lot Line Adjustment Plan are eligible for Administrative Review and do not require Planning Commission review. The Parcel Consolidation Plan includes the consolidation of the parcels and right-of-way in the southern section of the subdivision to the south of Lots 118-129 along Beuvale Lane. The Minor Lot Line Adjustment Plan to adjust the property lines is for Lots 198-204, and the creation of Lots 213 and 214 and the proposed open space along Brittingham Drive. The overall number of parcels proposed is reduced by 106 parcels from the original 218 parcels (211 residential, 7 open space). Revised Active Recreation Area Active Recreation Area is required at a rate of 275 SF per dwelling unit or 0.5 acres of land, whichever is greater. Based on the 108 dwelling units proposed after the Parcel Consolidation and Lot Line Adjustment Plan the amount of Active Recreation required is 29,700 SF. The original subdivision proposed the construction of a clubhouse and swimming pool. The Revised proposal is to do cash in lieu of the Active Recreation Area construction in the subdivision. Several open space parcels are located throughout the subdivision primarily along Hazlettville Road and the east property line. The value of the land required (29,700 SF) for the Active Recreation Area shall be calculated based on the appraised value of the land for construction financing. A copy of the Recreation Plan Review Report is attached to the DAC Report. SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone) A portion of the subdivision is subject to the SWPOZ (Source Water Protection Overlay Zone) Tier 3 – Excellent Recharge Area (Article 3 Section 29 of the Zoning Ordinance). The properties are exempt from the impervious surface restrictions as the activity proposed (construction of single family detached dwellings) does not require Planning Commission approval. THE SUBJECT PROPOSAL HAS BEEN REVIEWED FOR CODE COMPLIANCE, PLAN CONFORMITY, AND COMPLETENESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGENCY’S AUTHORITY AND AREA OF EXPERTISE. CITY AND STATE CODE REQUIREMENTS - Revised Active Recreation Area: 1) The cash in lieu amount shall be paid to the City prior to the issuance of a Building Permit for new residential development. 2) Submit a copy of the appraisal for construction financing to the Planning Office to calculate the value of the cash in lieu. 3) The proposed plan for cash in lieu payment meets the area requirements for the Active Recreation Area. The plan is required to provide 0.6818 acres of Active Recreation Area and

MI-13-10 Nottingham Meadows: Parcel Consolidation, Minor Lot Line Adjustment and Revised Active Recreation Area DAC Report for June 5, 2013 Page 3 of 10 it is proposing 0.6818 acres of Active Recreation Area via cash in lieu. 4) Staff recommends approval of the cash in lieu as the site is located within walking distance to existing recreational facilities at Schutte Park as stated in the applicants request for cash in lieu. 5) Staff recommends that completion of the sidewalk be completed by the developer along Hazlettville Road to allow for pedestrian access to Schutte Park. Only a portion of this sidewalk has been completed.

Nottingham Meadows: Revised Active Recreation Area Plan Summary Report of Revised Active Recreation Component Parks, Recreation & Community Enhancement Committee Meeting on June 10, 2013 Page 2 of 4 The requirement for Active Recreation Area under the current Zoning Ordinance is 275 SF per dwelling unit. With the proposed revision to the subdivision lot layout the number of dwelling units will be reduce to 108. Based on the proposed number of 108 dwelling units, 29,700 SF (0.6818 ac. +/-) of Active Recreation Area is required for the development. Currently, the Active Recreation Area within the subdivision has not been developed. In the 2006 Final Plans approved for the Nottingham Meadows Subdivision, the Active Recreation Area consisted of 59,024 SF to meet required area of 58,025 SF. CURRENT PROPOSAL for Active Recreation Plan (dated May 8, 2013) Based on the number of lots proposed (108 lots) 29,700 SF of Active Recreation Area is required. The Revised Plan requests that cash in lieu of recreation area construction be accepted for the required 29,700 SF (0.6818 ac. +/-) of Active Recreation Area. The Revision proposes the elimination of the swimming pool and club house that were proposed within the original Active Recreation Area on Brittingham Drive and Wellington Avenue. The swimming pool and clubhouse were not constructed. This Revised Active Recreation Area proposal must be reviewed by the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee for a recommendation prior to consideration of the Revised Plan by Planning Commission. The following table provides information from the submitted Plan (last updated May 16, 2013) for the Revised Active Recreation Area: Required Provided on Revised Plan Active Recreation Area 275 S.F. per dwelling unit or 0.5 (Article 5 §10.16) and acre, greater thereof Cash in lieu payment instead of (Article 5 §10.15) 108 DU = 29,700 S.F.

If the commission determines that the construction of recreation is not practical due to close proximity to existing available recreation facilities or infeasible due to natural characteristics of the land or will not benefit the residents of the development, the commission shall require a full or partial cash in lieu of areas of donation to be made by the developer in lieu of a full or partial dedication of land. 10.172 Separate recreation account. The cash donation shall be deposited in a separate account to be used for parks, playgrounds or recreational purposes. 10.173 Amount of cash donation. The cash donation shall be equivalent to the appraised value of land area required in section 10.16. The land area value shall be based on the appraisal prepared for the developer to secure construction financing. This submitted appraisal shall be a copy of the original supplied to the lending institution, with that institution identified, and shall conform in all ways to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal practice and be performed by an appropriately qualified certified appraiser. If an appraisal prepared for construction financing is not available, then the developer shall have an appraisal done in accordance with the procedures set forth in [sub] section 10.174. 10.174 Appeal of appraised value. If the city does not accept the land value established by the appraisal detailed in [sub] section 10.173, the city may, at the developer's expense, require another appraisal be performed. This appraisal will be let on a bid basis between at least three appropriately qualified, certified appraisers selected by the city.

One hundred percent cash donation provided under this section shall be collected prior to issuing the first building permit for the development. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS The following are comments and recommendations from Staff of the Department of Planning & Inspections following review of the Revised Active Recreation Area Plan. 1) The proposed plan for cash in lieu payment meets the area requirements for the Active Recreation Area. The plan is required to provide 0.6818 acres of Active Recreation Area and it is proposing 0.6818 acres of Active Recreation Area via cash in lieu. 2) Staff recommends approval of the cash in lieu as the site is located within walking distance to existing recreational facilities at Schutte Park as stated in the applicants request for cash in lieu. 3) Staff recommends that the sidewalk be completed by the developer along Hazlettville Road to allow for pedestrian access to Schutte Park. There is a segment of sidewalk along the subdivision frontage that has not been constructed. 4) Provide a copy of the appraisal for the cost of the value of the land for construction financing to allow for staff to calculate the amount for the cash in lieu.
