STAFF REVIEW

 

The subject property is located south of Clinton Parkway and between Inverness Drive (on the west), and Crossgate Drive (on the east). The subject property is bounded on the north by 24^th Place and City property along the south side identified as a future park. The park property is undeveloped and primarily serves as a drainage easement. Access for recreation paths is planned and is partially addressed through the abutting subdivisions and development plans. 

The proposed subdivision does not amend the boundary or the existing lot sizes. The plat is intended to amend only the easements and access ways that are related to the proposed development on Lot 1, Block 1.

 

Easements and Rights-of-Way

The proposed plat does not propose the dedication of any new right-of-way for street purposes. The plat has been revised to show no access to Inverness Drive from Lot 1, Block 1 consistent with previous review comments.

 

Numerous additional easements have been dedicated along the south portion of Lot 2, Block 2 to accommodate the existing development. The revised plat also includes an access easement around the boundary of the site that was not part of the original subdivision plat, but reflects the existing development patterns.

 

Conformance

The proposed final plat also shows the amended boundary of the regulatory floodplain. The previous plat showed the floodplain encumbering Lot 1, Block 1 in the southeast corner. The revised plat shows that the floodplain is contained in the drainage easements and abutting park property along the south and east side of Lot 2, Block 1. The proposed final plat conforms to the submission requirements of the subdivision regulations and zoning code.

 

Staff has noted some minor changes that must be addressed and are reflected as conditions of approval.

 

Recommendation:  Planning Staff recommends approval of the final plat and forwarding of it to the City Commission for acceptance of easements, subject to the following conditions:

 

1.      Pinning of the lots in accordance with the requirements of Section 21-302.2 of the Subdivision Regulations;

2.      Execution of a Temporary Utility Agreement;

3.      Provision of the following fees and recording documentation:

a.      Copy of paid property tax receipt;

b.      Recording fees made payable to the Douglas County Register of Deeds;

c.      Provision of a master street tree plan.
