CASE # REQUEST FOR SKETCH PLAN REVTFW FOR LEGACY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY; CASE OF LEGACY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY By: Amber G. Miller, Planning Manager Background: The City has received an application from Legacy Christian Academy proposing to subdivide the property located west of Armstrong Boulevard near the intersection of Armstrong and Bunker Lake Boulevards. The Applicant is also working on a Site Plan for a pre-K-12 school campus. Notification: In accordance with City Code, property owners within 700 feet of the application were notified of the sketch plan proposal. - Observations: Legacy Christian Academy has applied for a subdivision within the Pine Shadows Addition to accommodate a future 225,000-275,000 square foot school. The Subject Property is currently 184.91 acres and is Zoned R-1 Residential, R-2 Residential, R-3 Residential and TC-2 Sub - District. Lot 1 is proposed to be 88.12 acres, 75.30 acres of non -wetland. There would be two Outlots remaining; Outlot A would be 38.71 acres and Outlot B would be 49.23 acres. All lots meet minimum lot width, frontage, and size requirements for all of the zoning districts. The site proposes one access from Armstrong Blvd where Bunker Lake Blvd would be extended as a local street within a 120' right-of-way. Upon development, Outlot A would access an improved Puma St and Alpine Dr, Outlot B would access from the extended Bunker Lake Blvd and potentially an improved Puma St. Full build out of Bunker Lake Blvd shows it as a four lane road with two lanes in each direction. The first phase proposes to construct one lane in each direction, with a cul-de-sac at the westerly entrance to the school property, and a trail on the north side of Bunker Lake Blvd to Puma St and then north to Outlot A. Staff would like to have two lanes constructed all the way to Puma St, and improve Puma St to City standards all the way from Bunker Lake Blvd to Alpine Dr, including a trail. In addition, the westerly leg of the Bunker Lake and Armstrong Blvd intersection would need to be constructed full width, based upon the revised traffic analysis and ultimate intersection design. Consistent with the City's comprehensive trail plan and the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, an off road trail must also be constructed along the existing wetland that traverses the site from west to east. Municipal Water and Sanitary Sewer will be extended to serve the proposed subdivision from Armstrong Blvd. The cost of the utility extensions will be paid by the developer, with any oversizing necessary to serve the larger service district being paid by the City's corresponding 73
