STAFF REVIEW

 

The subject property is located on the east side of George Williams Way and on the north side of Harvard Road. The property is also bounded by, but does not include, City future park property along the south/southeast property line and an exclusive gas line easement along the east/northeast property line. This consideration is associated with a Preliminary Plat for the same property as allowed for concurrent submissions (PP-08-18-05). Initial construction for development has begun and includes the installation of utilities and public streets to serve this development. The street pattern and lot arrangement have not been altered. The number of lots added to the overall development is the result of reducing the width of the lots within the subdivision boundary. Installation of public improvements, such as streets and utilities, are being completed. The proposed lot changes exclude lots that front to Drum Drive of the original subdivision plat for this area.

 

It was also noted in the review comments of the Final Plat that a downstream sanitary sewer analysis is required per section 21-706 (b). The applicant responded by providing additional documentation. Confirmation has not yet been provided by the Municipal Utilities Department that adequate capacity concerns have been substantiated. For reasons of consistency and to assure that this question is answered prior to consideration of the Final Plat by the City Commission staff recommends the addition of a condition regarding both the provision of information and the approval of such by the City’s Utility Department.

 

 

Summary

Section 21-204 allows for concurrent subdivision consideration of both Preliminary and Final Plat consideration by the Planning Commission subject to specific provisions. The proposed subdivision complies with these limitations. The proposed Final Plat complies with the minimum Subdivision and Zoning Regulations as well as the Preliminary Plat.
