STAFF REVIEW

The request is for final plat approval of Fall Creek Farms 11^th Plat, which is a one lot subdivision for a single-family home. The site is located east of Monterey Way, west of Kasold Drive, and south of Peterson Road.

The preliminary plat for Fall Creek Farms was approved for 185 lots in 1985. A revised preliminary plat, which includes 176 lots, was approved by the Planning Commission on February 25, 2004. Final plats have been approved for the lots to the south and east of the subject property.

Access

The lot will be accessed from Running Ridge Road, a local street with an existing 60 feet of right-of-way.

Infrastructure

There is an existing sanitary sewer main within a 15-foot utility easement, which borders the lot’s western edge. An existing municipal water main is located within the 60-foot right-of-way along Running Ridge Road. Storm sewer enclosures currently exist along the northern side of the lot.

Easements

As a drainage easement abuts the property along its western edge, the final plat will need to indicate the minimum elevation for a building opening(s) for any structure(s) on the lot.

One easement dedication is included on the final plat – a 7.5-foot drainage easement along the property’s northern edge. The remaining 7.5 feet of the 15-foot drainage easement is located outside of lot one and will need to be dedicated by separate instrument. Existing utility easements border the property’s western and southern borders.

Summary

In accordance with Section 21-302.2, the proposed lot has been pinned. The final plat conforms with the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations.
