Brendan Connolly PUD final plat reconsideration at 5 Johnson Way (SD-2201)

Deferred.

Reconsideration of final plat application SD-2201 of Brendan Connolly to amend a previously approved planned unit development of three lots by subdividing an existing 8.0-acre lot (stated as 7.0 acre parent lot) developed with a single-family home into three lots: lot 4 (0.5 acre), lot 5 (0.5 acre), and lot one (7.0 acre), to develop a single-family home on lots four and five at 5 Johnson Way. Hearing was reopened after discovery four years prior that Sadie Lane had not been formally adopted by the city; the city council formally adopted the road a few weeks ago following a stormwater contribution from the landowner. Board corrected a garage-waiver reference (lot five need not be set back eight feet from west facade but shall be side-loaded). Hearing closed on a voice vote; item reviewed under 2022 LDRs.

Certificate of occupancy for single and two-family homes (part of LDR 2606)

Deferred.

Staff recommended postponing the requirement for certificates of occupancy for single and two-family homes (part of LDR 2606) until the next round of amendments, citing capacity concerns with the upcoming Act 250 Tier 1A administration. Expected postponement of about one year. The remainder of LDR 2606 (removing zoning permit requirement for door/window size changes) moved forward.
