ATTEST: Mayor Garret Nancolas City Clerk (or Deputy) Debbie Root From: Bob Taunton <bobtaunton@tauntongroup.com> Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2021 3:02 PM To: Debbie Root Cc: Lee Gientke; Jerome Mapp Subject: Re: PUD information Deb, Thank you for following up on this matter. Below are our comments: 1. The term "single-family residential lots" needs to include both detached and attached lots for duplexes and townhouses. Below are the definitions from the code. The term single-family residential lot is not defined. To avoid confusion that section M applies only to single-family detached lots, we recommend replacing "single-family residential lots" with "single-family attached and detached lots." 2. From my experience, I cannot recall a code restriction with an odd number. An even number is always chosen. We recommend that you change 3 lots to 4 lots to be served by a common driveway. However, we would like to hear an explanation about the issues with fire, addressing, and planning that motivate the reduction from 6 as stated in the current code. 3. Lastly, the definition of Single-Family Attached states a unit is "attached on one side only." The statement describes a duplex and not a townhouse that can be attached on two sides unless the townhouse unit is an end unit. We recommend you revise the definition to delete the phrase "on one side only." Definitions 10-03-11 DWELLING, FOUR-, FIVE- OR SIX-FAMILY: A building containing four (4), five (5) or six (6) single- family dwelling units totally separated from each other by a nonpenetrated wall extending from basement to roof. Each dwelling unit shall have an individual address and an individual water meter. DWELLING, MULTI-FAMILY: A building containing seven (7) or more dwelling units, including units that are located one over the other. DWELLING, SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED: A one-family dwelling with ground floor outside access, attached on one side only to another dwelling by common vertical walls without openings (each dwelling unit occupies its own lot or parcel, but with a zero lot line on the attached side - townhouse). A single- family dwelling unit has only one address and only one water meter. DWELLING, SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED: A one-family dwelling that is not attached to any other dwelling by any means and shall have only one address and one water meter. DWELLING, THREE-FAMILY: A building containing three (3) single-family dwelling units totally separated from each other by a nonpenetrated wall extending from basement to roof (3 units on 1 lot or parcel - triplex). Each dwelling unit shall have its own address and its own water meter. 1 DWELLING, TWO-FAMILY: A building containing two (2) single- famity dwelling units totally separated from each other by a nonpenetrated wall extending from basement to roof(2 units on 1 lot or parcel - duplex). Each unit shall have its own address and its own water meter. DUPLEX: See definition of dwelling, two-family. TOWNHOUSE: See definition of Dwelling, Single-Family Attached. TRIPLEX: See definition of Dwelling, Three-Family.

We have identified several proposed revisions to the Common Driveway section and the PUD Development Standard "M" and will submit an ordinance revision which I hope to present to the Planning and Zoning Commission on November 16 and be able to get it to council in December. Common driveways will be allowed to serve up to three(3)units that do not front a public street and the council will have an option to require sidewalks on one side of the street (currently can serve up to six but that has been problematic for fire, addressing and planning). And proposing the following for PUDs: M. Access: All lots developed as single-family residential lots for residential purposes shall front or shall have frontage along a public roadway or common driveway. All other lots developed for residential purposes shall front a public roadway, or shall utilize common driveways as regulated by Caldwell City Code Section 11-03-02, or shall comply with Caldwell City Code Section 11-14-01. 2 I believe that this will help to address some of the flexibility that we have been struggling with. Again, this is what will be proposed to the commission and council. Appreciate the discussion.
