CASE REQUEST FOR FINAL PLAT APPROVAL OF CHESTNUT RIDGE 2ND ADDITION; CASE OF GOOD VALUE HOMES By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: Good Value Homes is requesting final plat approval of Chestnut Ridge 2nd Addition. The preliminary pla~ approved in August of 1994 consisted of 65 acres proposed to be developed with municipal water and sanitary sewer and subdivided into 73 single family lots. Good Value is seeking to f'mai plat the first 29 lots at this time. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) e) Site location map Proposed final plat City Staff review letter dated January 3, 1996 Proposed resolution for final plat approval Proposed development agreement Observations: The first leg of the extension of Sunwood Drive through the area preliminary platted as Chestnut Ridge 2nd Addition is provided for. None of the lots in this phase will have direct access onto this MSA road and in accordance with Staffs recommendation, the street extending south off of Sunwood Drive has been platted as a through street rather than an 'eyebrow'. The development agreement does put the Developer on notice that if the City's Transportation Impact Fee is implemented by April 15, 1996, this plat will be subject to those fees. It is apparent that the development will occur in phases and the City should be provided with a copy of the phasing plan. The developer is proposing to install the public improvement as a private project with no financial participation on the part of the City. This plat contains a 600 foot segment of Sunwood Drive. The City is currently preparing plans and will construct Sunwood Drive in 1996 for a distance of 0.9 miles, including this segment. The Developer is being required to pay the equivalent amount of a residential street section trhough this section of the plat and also for the extension of an eight inch watermain which will be included with the Sunwood Drive project The plat was reviewed by the Park Commission on August 11 and it was determined that park dedication shall consist of a cash payment. The Park Commission also requested that the developer construct an off-roadway path parallel to Potassium St. N.W. for pedestrians and bicyclists. This path construction in transportational in nature and is not park dedication eligible. This off-roadway path was also planned for along Potassium Street outside the plat boundaries of Chestnut Ridge 2nd Addition. The Park Commission is requesting that the developer construct the off-roadway path outside the plat boundaries of Chestnut Ridge 2nd Addition running south to 143rd and west to Emerald Pond Park. In this phase of Chestnut Ridge 2nd Addition, the Developer would be required to construct the off-road trail from Potassium Street on the south side of 146th, south to 143rd and west to Emerald Pond Park. The off-road trail construction north of 146th would be required when the remainder of Potassium Street is platted and constructed. The cost of path construction outside the boundaries of Chestnut Ridge 2nd Addition would be credited towards the cash payment due for park dedication in Chestnut Ridge 2nd.
