STAFF REVIEW

The subject property is located on the east side of George Williams Way and south of W. 6^th Street. The property is located within the area know as West Lawrence and abuts city property designated as a future park/open space. The Preliminary Plat was approved by the Planning Commission in October 2004 (PP-09-21-04). The proposed Final Plat includes 57 single-family residential lots and extends the local and collector street system into the surrounding area.

Streets and Access

Approval of the final plat will establish the necessary easements and rights-of-way to construct the local and adjacent collector street. Additional right-of-way is needed on the east side of the property (from the abutting property owner) to construct the full width of the collector street.

Public Park

The Final Plat shows a pedestrian easement on the western side connecting to the city’s green belt open space, which was discussed and approved with the Preliminary Plat. Access to George Williams Way from Lot 16 to Silverstone Drive was not approved as part of the Preliminary Plat.

Summary

The proposed plat complies with the minimum submission information required for Final Plats and complies with the pending zoning district for low-density residential development as well as the comprehensive plan related to low-density development, lot orientation, and access. Staff noted several minor elements that need to be addressed. These are reflected as conditions of approval.

Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat of Stoneridge North and forwarding it to the City Commission with a recommendation for acceptance of easements and rights-of-way subject to the following conditions:

7. Execution of an agreement not to protest the formation of a benefit district for street, sidewalk and intersection improvements for Stoneridge Drive;

8. Provision of a revised Final Plat to include necessary drainage easements as noted by the City Stormwater Engineer per his approval prior to recording the Final Plat with the Register of Deeds Office;

9. Submission and approval of public improvement plans for all public improvements per approval of the Public Works Department;
