Project type
One half of a Duplex Residence
Legal description
Phase II, Lot 20, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision – Vedder Duplex
Zoning
Planned Unit Development (PUD) – 2 units
Address
4224 Wildridge Road West
Introduction
This duplex is unique in that its approval was modified in October, 1996, dividing the duplex into 2 phases and granting the southern unit Final Design approval as a stand alone project.
This was done to accommodate occupying the southern unit prior to starting the northern unit’s construction. Though work on the southern unit still continues, the applicant is now requesting
Final Design approval for the remaining northern unit. The original project was approved in May, 1995.
The northern unit maintains the same architectural style as originally approved and will match the southern unit’s colors and materials. Access to the northern unit is already established
with the exception of the large retaining wall north of the parking area. Two items of note are the proposal for a future glass roof over the rear patio and the unimproved secondary
garage access on the structure’s east side.
It should be noted that due to the project’s extensive driveway and distance from the road that fire and emergency response to these residences is significantly hindered.
