AEC is requesting preliminary plat approval to plat!the property into commercial lots. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) Site location map b) PreIikninary plat c) City!Staff Review Letter dated June 28, 1995 Notification: ~ In accordance witl$ Statutes, all owners of property within 350 feet of the boundaries of the proposed plat were!notified of the public hearing and request for preliminary plat approval. At the hearing, City Staff ~elayed to the Planning Commission, Mr. A1 Phillips' concern with the impact to the Altron prope/ty resulting from the extension of Sunwood Drive. Observations: The plat consists oral0 commercial lots and one outlot for future development. AEC's new facility will occupy Lot 1, '.Block 1. The plat submitted to the Planning Commission for preliminary plat approval and the st~bject of the June 28, 1995 Staff Review Letter consisted of 10 commercial lots and one outlot; 2 icommercial lots and 1 outlot on the north side of Sunwood Drive and 8 commercial lots onithe south side. Subsequent to the Planning Commission review, the applicants have made some n~nor revisions to the proposed plat based upon input received at the Planning Commission. While it will still consist of 10 commercial lots and one ouflot, there will be 7 commercial lots sduth of Sunwood Drive and 3 lots and 1 outlot on the north side of Sunwood Drive. What was previously platted as one lot southeast of the wetland is now proposed to be platted as two, one of which pill be deeded to the City to. accommodate a sedimentation pond and a future water tower site. /~t the date of this writing, the exact boundaries of the two lots on the southeast end of the wetland[have not been identified. The fa'st two westerly lots south of Sunwood Drive were merged into bne larger lot. All of the proposed lots meet the minimum width and area requirements for th~ Business Warehouse District. The standard 10 fobt drainage and utility easements have been included around the outer perimeter of each of the lots. i A 40 foot drainage and utility easement has been provided between Lots 2 and 3 of Block 2 to fa '.oilitate the exten:ion of sanitary sewer north off of Jasper St. N.W. However, subsequent to the l:~lanning Commission meeting, the applicant has agreed to increase this easement to 60 feet to accoharnodate a possible furore connection of Jasper Street N.W. with Sunwood Drive. Also in accbrdance with Staffs recommendations, a drainage and utility easement has been provided along the !comn~n property line of Lots 6 and 7, Block 3, to accommodate an outlet from Wetland #117 to ~e southern plat boundary.
