PROPOSED BUILDING SITE PLAN W/ SETBACK & EASEMENT ADJUSTMENT

FINAL PLAT

FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATION The Technical Staff has reviewed the request and finds the following: 1. The proposed adjustment will not increase the density of the P.U.D. 2. The proposed adjustment will not decrease open space nor will it

affect the physical layout and design of other lots in the neighborhood. It will allow the protection of desirable trees to the south.

3. There will be no impact to the public health, safety and general welfare.

RECOMMENDATION: The Technical Staff recommends the Development Committee approve this request for a minor adjustment of White Oak Woods Subdivision lot 4, which includes: the western building setback line being moved 30 feet to the west, providing a 15 foot setback line; the northern building setback line being moved 30 feet to the north, providing a 70 foot building setback line; and a 20 foot expansion of the “Easement for Private Access, Public Utilities & Drainage” to the south.

Facilities and County Development Department Reorganization Thoughts

1

Practical Knowledge = Asking the Right Questions

1. What Do We Do Here? 2. How Does It Get Done? -Who takes responsibility? (Give Them Authority) -How much does it cost?

2

Some K.C. Organizing Principles?

Promote from within, where possible (Opportunity as “Compensation”) Aggressively “recruit” women/minorities but hire on “merit”. “Flatten” Organization (less superstructure) within reasonable span-of-control
