Case #3: Request for Preliminary Plat Approval of Northfork Oaks 2nd Addition; Case of North Fork, Inc. Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that North Fork, Inc. is requesting preliminary plat approval of another portion of the Nortlffork P.U.D. located in the northeast corner of the property. The plat is to be named Northfork Oaks 2nd Addition and consists of 73 acres proposed to be platted into 37 single family lots. She explained that the lots are proposed to receive public access from the extension of Royal Road from the south and 162nd from the west. There are two cul-de-sacs that will extend off of Royal Road that do not exceed the 600 foot maximum length standard. There is no park dedication due. A pedestrian transportation link is required to connect the trails in Northfork with those in Woodiawn Estates to the East. The City is requiring that the developer rough grade this link. A grading and drainage plan has been provided which is generally acceptable. Mr. Delaney, owner of Armstrong Kennels, had expressed concerns about the impact of this development to his dog kennels. He is willing to enter into an agreement with Northfork; details of such agreement are being worked out. Ms. Frolik reported that the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and are recommending approval. Dennis Peek, Director of Development for North Fork, Inc., stated he is a little unclear on the grading of additional trail. He was sure that was not part of the approval that came out of the Planning Commission meeting. Ms. Frolik stated this is rough grading, not paving. Mr. Peck felt it could be worked out. He stated that his engineers are working with Mr. Jankowski on the drainage. Mr. Delaney is currently out of town so the agreement with him has not yet been finalized; however, he felt this too would be worked out. He stated that Mr. Delaney has been very cooperative and added that Armstrong Kennels is a very well-mn operation.
