Evergreen Tucci, the owners of the Lakeland South Flanned Unit Development (PUD) in Pierce County, have requested preliminary plat Resolution 3382 � August 16, 2001 Page 1 approval for a 77 lot subdivision. Seventy=six (76) of the lots are for single family homes and the remaining lot is a multi-family lot. The property is - located within the recently annexed area of Pierce County and more specifically located on the west side of Lakeland Hills Way and north of 69th Street SE. 2, The plat is located in the Lakeland South Planned Unit Development (PUD). Chapter 18.76 of the Auburn Zoning Gode governs the land uses allowed within the PUD. Section 18.76.060 allows for the single family plat and will be governed by the "9FD-5" regulations. The "SFD-5" regulations require a minimum lot size of 2,730 square and a minimum lot width of 40 feet. The plat illustrates that the minimum lot size will be 6,000 square and that the minimum lot width requirements have been met as well. 3. A fir�al development plan (map) was also adopted as part of the approved PUD. The plan illustrates the area of the preliminary plat to be appropriate for residential uses at a density of two to fourteen units per acre. 4. The p'roposed plat is located north of the Lake Tapps Parkway, which is a � major multi-lane arterial that is currently under construction. It will eventually con.nect the Lake Tapps area fo Highway 167. That portion of the Parkway that is befinreen Lakeland Hills Way and the Easfi Valley Highway is proposed to be open for traffic sometime in 2001. 5; As part of a preannexation agreement between the City of Auburn and the owners of the Lakeland South FUD, it has been agreed that fhe City will issue building permi#s up to a point that development within fhe Lakeland South PUD generates 800 PM vehicle trips. To date, there have been permits issued for 258 multi-family units and 334 single family homes. This equates to approximately 500 PM vehicle trips. In order to exceed 800 PM vehicle trips, the annexation agreement requires that the ParKway must be open between Lakeland Hills Way and the East Valley Highway. 6. Park land is also required to be provided and dedicated to the City. A. park termed "P-4" and portions of the linear park along Lakeland Hills Way have been dedicated. Pursuant to the provisions of the annexation agreement, this allows the City to issue building permits for up to 800 residential units. Additional park land will then need to be dedicated in order to permit the 801St residential unit. ' 7. The City of Auburn will provide police protection, fi�e protection, sanitary sewer and storm drainage services. The City of Bonney Lake, pursuant to a previously executed agreement between the City of Auburn and the City Resolution 3382 August 16,2001 Page 2 of Bonney Lake, will provide water. The plat is within the Auburn School District and the City collects impact fees for the school district. 8; The plat illustrates a number of"tracts". Most of the tracts are for landscaping and signage that,will be owned and maintained by the homeowners association. While not labeled, there is also a tract on the east side of the plat which is the linear park that will run along the length of Lakeland Hills Way. 9.
