Lake Havasu City Page 1 Printed on 9/6/2017 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - Final July 19, 2017 Mr. Schmeling advised that the property is located on the corner of Kearsage Drive and Outpost Drive. He reviewed the property’s history which started as a multi-family development in 2005 with private streets and parcels for parking and a swimming pool. Mr. Schmeling stated that the original developers were going to build two-story homes; however, the new owner is pursuing a new style with wider lots for one-story homes. Mr. Schmeling noted that the property lines for the three houses already built there would not change. Mr. Lee Johnson, applicant, addressed the Commission and added that Lot 19 would also remain as a two-story lot as there was no way to reconfigure the property; however, all of the remaining properties would change to one-story homes with RV garages. Chairman Gorden opened the public hearing. Hearing none, he closed the public hearing. Mr. Schmeling advised that staff finds the proposed Preliminary Plat meets all the requirements within Title 13, and based on the findings, the Development Review Committee recommends that Preliminary Plat for River Ranch Villas, replat of Tract 2376-A, be approved. Member McGowan asked if all the utilities and driveways would remain the same, to which Mr. Schmeling explained that all of the private streets and utilities have been installed and would not change.
