STAFF REVIEW

 

The subject property is located on the north side of E. 23rd Street north of existing frontage road and adjacent to the 10 Market Place development. It is a one-lot commercial plat that includes an existing single-family residence.  The property is located within the City limits and is required to be platted prior to development. The property is zoned for conventional commercial development. The proposed plat does not include the dedication of any right-of-way for E. 23rd Street or for the abutting roadway easement know as E. 1575 Road. The property on the east side of E. 1575 Road was platted as Cornerstone Addition #1.

 

It was noted in the Preliminary Plat review that several agreements must be executed with regard to the provision of public improvement plans. These are reflected as a condition of approval regarding street and sidewalk improvements as well as the extension of the sanitary sewer to touch the “new lot”. The applicant has been notified that public improvement plans are required for the extension of the sanitary sewer and will be required prior to development.

 

Staff noted in the Preliminary Plat review the need to provide cross access easements between E. 1575 Road and the west property line. This recommendation is also included in this report as the Final Plat will need to be revised to show the access easement.

 

Additionally, documentation is required regarding stormwater. Staff recommends that this element be provided prior to the final plat being forwarded to the City Commission to assure that all easements associated with utilities (including stormwater) are correctly documented on the face of the Final Plat prior to the City Commission’s consideration. As noted in the Preliminary Plat review, no new dedications of rights-of-way are proposed.  Public Works staff noted some minor changes that are needed on the face of the drawing to clearly articulate the proposed subdivision plat information.  This information is reflected as a condition of approval, but does not alter the proposed Final Plat with respect to the number of lots proposed or the size of the proposed subdivision.

 

Recommendation:  Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat of Cornerstone Plaza 2 and forwarding it to the City Commission for acceptance of easements and subject to the following conditions:

 

  1. Execution of an agreement not to protest the formation of a benefit district for street and sidewalk improvements for E. 23rd Street and frontage road.
  2. Provision of public improvement plans for extension of the sanitary sewer to the Public Works Department prior to recording of the Final Plat with the Register of Deeds Office.
  3. Provision of a revised final plat to show the following:
    1. The deed book and page that establishes E. 1575 Road as a roadway easement.
    2. Show the centerline and width of E. 1575 Road for reference.
    3. Show the location of cross access easements between E. 1575 Road and the west property line along the north and south portions of the lot, per staff approval.
  4. Provision of a revised stormwater study per the approval of the City Stormwater Engineer prior to consideration of the final plat by the City Commission.
  5. Pinning of the lot in accordance with the requirements of Section 21-302.2 of the Subdivision Regulations.
  6. Execution of a Temporary Utility Agreement;
  7. Provision of the following fees and recording documentation:
    1. Copy of paid property tax receipt;
    2. Recording fees made payable to the Douglas County Register of Deeds;
    3. Provision of a master street tree plan.
