CASE #: ~• D3 REQUEST FOR FINAL PLAT REVIEW OF ELMCREST SANCTUARY LOCATED AT 16601 QUICKSILVER ST NW; CASE OF OAKWOOD LAND DEVELOPMENT, INC. By: Tim Gladhill, Associate Planner Background: Oakwood Land Development, Inc. submitted a sketch plan to develop a one (1) lot, two (2) outlot single-family plat on the property generally located on the west of Saint Francis Blvd NW (TH 47) and south of 167' Ave NW. Notification: No public hearing is required for a minor plat. However, the City Council adopted a policy requiring notification of a proposed subdivision be sent out to residents within 350 feet of the subject property during sketch plan submittal. Observations: The Subject Property is approximately 25.6 acres in size and is zoned R-1 Residential (Rural Developing). The land use designation is not proposed to change with the draft Comprehensive Plan Update. The permitted density in the R-1 Residential (Rural Developing) District is one (1) unit per two and a half (2.5) acres. .The sketch plan proposes one existing unit on a two and a half (2.5) acre lot. This equates to a density of one (1) unit per two and a half (2.5) acres, which meets City Code standards. The development will receive access from Quicksilver Street. While the existing terminus. of Quicksilver Street is a dedicated, public street, the future right-of--way owned by the City that will serve as the frontage for the existing lot is not platted, nor dedicated public roadway at this time, essentially creating aland-locked parcel. A temporary road easement will be required to be restated along the existing access road to Elmcrest Park. In addition, an easement for a future sidewalk along the eastern boundary shall be required. It appears that all setbacks are met based on the Final Plat. A grading and drainage plan has been submitted and found acceptable. The Final Plat includes sufficient drainage and utility easements. Staff recommends that the Traffic Generation Analysis requirement be waived, as no additional buildable lots are being created. The existing lot is currently served by private well and septic. The Sketch Plan needs to be revised to show the .location of these services. The existing septic system is currently located partially on the adjacent parcel to the east, owned by the City for future right-of--way. This septic system will need to be re-located to be fully on Lot 1, Block 1 or the existing agreement re-stated and recorded against the Subject Property, notifying any future owners that the septic system
